Bob Etheridge: Have You Lost Your Damn Mind?

by Mr. Man on June 14, 2010

Folks,

This is unbelievable. I know people are passionate about their politics, but is this what our democracy is coming to? Watch this video.

Normally, I would write a “build-up” to the upcoming line. However, the video speaks for itself:

U. S. Representative Bob Etheridge: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND?!?!

Dude, what gives? Most people would have assault charges pending against them for grabbing a someone on the street by his wrist and neck. There are kids who would call Child Protective Services if their parents looked at them the wrong way. Granted, the guy you grabbed is no child. He clearly states in the video that he is a college student working on a project. Whether that’s true or not is beside the  point. I’m just surprised that this young 20-something did not  KICK YOUR  OLD ARSE all up and down the street (publicly, in self-defense. privately, because he could).

Are you that ashamed of the principles you stand for that you can’t be questioned about your beliefs by an average American citizen? Is your position so weak that you must resort to physical violence to try to shut down a person who simply asked you a question?

I’ll say this…it is a good thing that it wasn’t The Man that you grabbed. You’d still be climbing out of that can of Texas WHOOPASS that I would have laid on you.

Man up, dude. That was weak.

Mr. Man

  • I've been seeing a lot of US politicians behaving badly, lately. Do you think it's because people have become more politically polarized?
  • mrman
    I do believe this to be the case. The polarization really began in earnest under the Bush administration. Additionally, we have a 24-hour news cycle now with each media outlet putting their spin on the facts. Some politicians have always behaved badly, but in a world with YouTube and Twitter (not to mention citizen journalists-bloggers), they just dont get away with it as easily. Thanks for reading.
  • That was nuts! Thanks for posting it. I have been out of the news loop and that's the first I had seen it.
    That wasn't even a hard question. He asked whether the the Rep. was in full support of Obama's agenda or not. A politician who was savvy enough to be elected should have the skills to handle simple questions with ease.
  • Weak barely begins to describe this. And, if that were me, he would have met my left fist in a hurry.
  • Dear MisterMan,

    If TheMan had done this, he would have went to jail longer than Harpo's wife did in "The Color Purple". Might have to bust my little bro out, like that tv series, "Prison Break".

    Bob E was wrong, but I wonder how many of those does he get a day. Could be miscontrued for a setup. Ask Charlie (aka "black Jackie Gleason") about setups.
