Bob Murray, Utah mine owner: "Hillary Clinton "anti-American"'

[RedEarth]

He called Sen. Hillary Clinton "anti-American" for suggesting the nation needed a president who is pro-labor. He sued a Pennsylvania agency over environmental regulations that Murray's company contended resulted in the shutdown of a mine.

In 2001, he sued the Akron Beacon Journal for $1 billion over an unflattering profile. (Among other things, the story said: "Even his friends roll their eyes at his hyperbole.") The case was settled out of court on undisclosed terms.

Also, in 2001, Murray was acquitted of charges he assaulted an environmental activist fighting Murray's plans to mine beneath a 400-year-old forest in Ohio. Murray was accused of throwing Chad Kister into a wall outside a hearing room. Murray claimed the accusations were politically and financially motivated.

And: "Mitch McConnell calls me one of the five finest men in America, and the last I checked, he was sleeping with your boss." McConnell, a Republican senator from Kentucky, is married to U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.

Murray _ a bald, rotund figure often clad in a sweater vest _ says his toughness stems from a tough upbringing. He recalls picking up meatbones that the grocer would save for neighborhood dogs and taking them home to his mother, who made "sop" out of them.

9. Well, that's fair and balanced. At least it's alphabetical!

All "real Americans" no doubt, unlike Democratic terrorists.

8. Forest Gump? Seems more like Lester Maddox to me....

"The Lord has already decided whether they're alive or dead. But it's up to Bob Murray and my management to get access to them as quickly as we can."

"Sometimes he's OK to work with. He's a very volatile man and I think that was demonstrated at his press conference yesterday," says union spokesman Phil Smith. "He's like the old Forrest Gump line: a box of chocolates _ you never know what you're going to get."

"I will have your jobs. They are gone," Murray allegedly said. "The clock is ticking." And: "Mitch McConnell calls me one of the five finest men in America, and the last I checked, he was sleeping with your boss." McConnell, a Republican senator from Kentucky, is married to U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.

Apparently if the Lord decides that they're alive we'd miss it from wasting time listening to this blubbering fool. And if he's box of chocolates, then they have to be filled with peanuts.

And who says Elaine sleeps with Mitch? I mean let's face it, Elaine's got a hangup with people not being clean enough and is always on them to take baths. And Mitch is in the top five of the slimiest politicians in Washington. Hmmm.... maybe that's what drew them together???

The Demented, RightWingNuts, & Obsessed With Using Sex As A Weapon. This is the Republican Party today. Three hundred pound legislators with $20 bills hanging out of their pockets who give blowjobs in city parks "out of fear of stocky black guys." A national Young Republicans leader who moonlights as a sex predator of the somnambulant. And then this guy. From one end of the spectrum to the toilet. They have become caricatures of themselves....
