(This is now the third mention of Sununu running away from the press. Amazing. - promoted by Dean)
This is pretty funny. Senator Sununu is so afraid of giving a position on the Iraq War and Bush's plans for escalation -- should he piss off his President or his constituents? -- that he is now running away when he sees reporters.
That's absolutely amazing, and cowardly.
When Sen. John E. Sununu (R-N.H.) saw reporters approaching him last week, he took off in a sprint, determined to say as little as possible about a nonbinding resolution opposing President Bush's troop-escalation plan, which is expected to come before the Senate today.
"You know where I stand," the senator, who is considered politically vulnerable back home, said repeatedly as he fled down stairways at the Capitol. "I'm still looking."
It's hard to tell where a guy is standing when he is running away. Of course, maybe he is running around because he is looking for his position, or spine.
You all -- the Democratic and progressive activists from the great state of Blue Hampshire -- are the reason he's lost. Over the past few years there's been an amazing change in the state as you worked your collective butt off. And the WaPo recognizes it:
Sununu, whose once Republican-dominated state leaned Democratic last year, has drawn four potential Democratic opponents for 2008.
Take a bow, BH. Sununu is running scared.
Update by Dean: Look who's earned the title of "Fastest Senator"! |
