So I wonder what Ray Buckley thinks about Tim Horrigan changing his mind? Mr. Horrigan found himself stuck in the event horizon of Keith Halloran’s "dead Palin" remarks in early August and in a fit of malaise swore off the House and resigned his position. While I implied that would hardly last, (and I was correct–Horrigan is ready to retake his seat in the House should his liberal district re-elect him) the Chairmen of the Democrat party took it upon himself to say this about the resignation at the time.
"Rep. Horrigan took the appropriate action by resigning today. His comments were inappropriate and do no reflect the views of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. As an elected official, this type of rhetoric is out of line."
Do Chairmen Buckley’s remarks, like the slightly less honorable Tim Horrigan’s, have a shelf life too? And can we safely say that in the absence of any objection this kind of thing does reflect the views of the New Hampshire Democrat Party?
I don’t think Buckley cares. The Democrat universe is ethically one sided, and hypocritical as a matter of course. So it probably won’t matter that whether Horrigan’s actions were worthy of retirement or not, he said he would depart but has now gone back on his word. In my mind that tells us far more about the character of the players than anything else.
