[CarltonBanks]

What an idiot. Stay clashy.

Edit: I made sure to mention his party affiliation because I know some one these boards are a little picky about that.

Tar baby?

Yeah, that is more than stepping in it.

C'mon, it's a reference from a (banned) Disney film.

Lamborn has been off the rails for years out here.

 

[93Devil]

C'mon, it's a reference from a (banned) Disney film.

I think Chase and Pryor use it in that SNL skit.

 

[terrier]

Awwww...he may just be appealing to his constituents with that remark.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

I'm sure his approval rating went up after he said that.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'll still take him over the tiger-costumed pedophile.

"Yeah, it's bad that he said it. But ... but ... here are all these hypocritical liberals who said bad stuff too!

 

[CarltonBanks]

That's sad, that there are people actually trying to defend him. Give me a break. He's a racist...end of story. Get rid of him.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Not defending what he said, but he's not losing his job over that.

And on a day when Giffords and the budget are all over the news, most will forget what he said within the week.
