Awesome New Republican Talking Point: "You ain’t nothing but a bitch, brother, my n*gger"

[troublemaker]

Quick, Call the Allen campaign! This new line of argument could save VA for him. (This incident is a few days old, but I hadn't seen the actual phone message quotes before)

"Demon booze claimed another victim today. State Rep. Ralph Arza — a Florida Republican, natch — has resigned from the legislature after leaving crazy drunken messages on Rep. Gus Barreiro’s phone. One of them went like this:

Hey, bitch.
You ain’t nothing but a bitch.
You ain’t nothing but a bitch, brother, my nigger

Barreiro isn’t black, as far as we can tell, but he got the bizarre mall-gangsta-esque message because he complained about Arza calling other local politicians the N-word. Or something. Oh, and then Arza had his cousin make another call, basically threatening to have Barreiro fed to the fishes.

Arza admitted making his dirty calls and said he has “difficulty controlling my emotions and anger.” Especially when he’s drunk. So he’s off to “immediate counseling,” but has bravely refused to pretend he’s going to stop drinking."

1. Good grief

That is disgusting, I had a hard time reading that.

2. That could secure him a job at the Civil Rights division at

the Department of Justice. He'd fit right in.

3. My, these Republicans

They are a classy bunch.

4. He's blaming "demon booze"? I think it goes deeper than that!

So Florida's state legislature gets one seat bluer?
