The U.S, Senate race between George LeMieux and Adam Hasner continues to heat up, with LeMieux issuing a snarky release blasting Hasner for calling attention to LeMieux’s French heritage. Specifically, Hasner is distributing a bumper sticker that says “LeMieux: It’s French for Crist.” It’s part of Hasner’s effort to hang Crist, the moderate former governor who lost to U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio last year, on LeMiuex, who at various times was the governor’s chief of staff, the “architect” of his campaign and Crist’s appointee to the U.S. Senate.
Today, LeMieux issued a release calling attention — “In Case You missed It” — to a post by a blogger on JTA, a Jewish news service, about the bumper sticker:

Not that I mind, I'm supporting McCalister in this race.

Is it true you can boil a frog in a pot until he can’t use his legs to jump out, so he eventually dies?
It’s true of people (and in principle, it should be for frogs, though I’ve never actually seen or heard of it happening to them). People die in hot tubs and hot springs, more often than you might think. After about 110-120º you start to cook, literally. Enzymes in the body only function at certain temps, and if you gradually increase temp, you lose your strength.
“It’s true of people (and in principle, it should be for frogs, though I’ve never actually seen or heard of it happening to them).”
Sacre bleu!
I don't think Ryan Theriot, Mike Fontenot, Adam LaRoche, or Jeff Francoeur are immigrants.
What can I say, it happens frequently. I know it happens to animals in the wild too, in hot springs. They get in the water, then can’t get the strength to get out. I don’t go into hot tubs for that reason. There’s been a time or two I couldn’t have gotten out without help, so now I just don’t get in at all.
My ancestors came from Alsace-Loraine. I am offended. /joking
I didn’t see it as making fun of French or LeMieux’s name. It’s actually pretty clever. Hasner will get more ink on this, given the whining, than he would otherwise have received.
No one that has French ancestry is going to switch his vote because he was offended by this.
I am 1/4 French.
Holy flerkenschnitz!
I wasn’t all that impressed with Hasner during the RPOF Presidency V. He came across as immature to me. This story reaffirms my first impression of Hasner. I prefer an adult for the U.S. Senate from Florida. Little Adam Hasner doesn’t seem to fit the bill.
As am I, so let the other two kids throw all the mud they want...at each other!
SO you’re French or German or German or French or French or German ————.
Me too. One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to memorize “La Marseillaise.” I failed. Still, there are very few pieces of music that will stir the heart than the French national anthem, right up there with “Dixie.” The other 3/4 is Irish.
Yes. It is ust a part of me though. Some other nationalities mixed in. ;)
