“In the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide before they make any apology.” —Senator Chuck Grassley

horrigan_Looks_Drunk_here — Rep. Timothy Horrigan: “The Republicans drove me to it, I tell you!”

Timmy apologized today. Well, sort of…eh…not really. I mean, I don’t really think he meant it. First, Tim, “Mother Hubbard” Horrigan told the Union Leader,

That is not an apology…that is a bunch of excuses for the bad behavior. That shows me he is strident and lacking any remorse.

This morning’s Union Leader features State Democratic Chairman Raymond Buckley calling for “bipartisan support” for prosecuting those who used the names of dead Granite Staters to receive ballots during the presidential primary.

Not at all surprising. In fact, many have wondered how long it would be before we heard from “Buckles the Clown” regarding the ongoing saga of Democratic advocacy of Vote Fraud in the Granite State. Just another punchline from “Buckles.” Seriously. When has Raybo ever done anything for a higher bipartisan purpose?
