Such good people. So caring and kind to each other. Nothing like witnessing brotherly love firsthand. How appropriate for these individuals to be determining legislation that affects other individuals all over Minnesota. The language and the name calling was such a nice touch. Of course, there is nothing like the poison intended for others contaminating your own well.

Not to worry for Koss, Michelle Bachmann will hire him.

Wow. The Republican party has imploded. And affair, a lawsuit, revelations that the intent of the marriage amendment was bogus...and now a staffer that once again reveals the inner workings of the party....and of course their huge debt. This party clearly has a management problem.

annstark - What was more ridiculous was to watch the media frenzy --------------- No, it was so funny and so indicative of Republican behavior nationwide that I forwarded the link to the Ed show. I only hope that if it hasn't gotten into the national media's attention yet, it soon will.

That's freedom of speech for ya. Oh you have every freedom to call someone an SOB. The government can't fine you for it. But your boss sure can fire you for it. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of that speech. Glad the GOP finally learned the true meaning of it.

Kriesel shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense. He should've quoted Chris Christi: "I'm tired of dealing with the crazies".

This is why moderate Republicans are leaving the party. The "No Compromise" extreme wing that now runs the party will not allow anyone to disagree.
