Come for his answer on Common Core ("yes"), stay for his avert-your-eyes inability to answer lighthearted softball questions about books and music -- via John Ekdahl:
10 Questions for Sen. Mark Udall
He's got most of the policy stuff nailed: Keep Obamacare? Check. Gun control? Check. Path to citizenship? Check. Opposition to the death penalty? Check. Opposition to the 'personhood' amendment? Check. More regulations on fracking? Check. Was his answer on Common Core an endorsement of the program, or a rejection of it? Yes. Keep in mind that this is a man running for re-election in a purple state who's still trying to position himself as a moderate and the White House's worst nightmare, or whatever. Setting aside his record of voting 99 percent of the time with the president, would O himself have answered any of those policy questions differently? Maybe he'd have hedged a bit on the death penalty, which would place Udall to Obama's left. No wonder Udall couldn't name a single Obama proposal he opposes when pressed to do so during a recent debate.
But I'm mystified by the consecutive blown lay-ups on books and tunes. Udall goes the safe route with with JFK's Profiles in Courage, then…can't call to memory two other books -- any two books he's ever read -- that have influenced him. Everyone knows what a brain freeze feels like, but "I'd have to really think about which books have influenced me the most" is surely preferable to, "um, the, uh, let me think. We can play this over, right? Let me re-tape this." When the interviewer bails him out by re-lobbing the music question (basically, name any song in the universe, Senator), Udall throws in the towel. "Uh, I'm brain dead today," he says with a sheepish grin, before finally recovering and spitting out a few answers at the end of the clip. George Will's Friday column featured the Colorado race, and accused Udall of treating women as "civic illiterates:"
One Democrat whose gallantry toward women is monomaniacal, Sen. Mark Udall (Colo.), is now uncomfortably known here as Mark Uterus. He is seeking a second term by running such a relentlessly gynecological campaign that the Denver Post, in endorsing his opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner, denounced the shocking amount of energy and money Udall has devoted to saying that Gardner favors banning birth control. Actually, Gardner favors over-the-counter sales of oral contraceptives. In addition to being common sense, Gardners proposal is his way of making amends for formerly advocating a state constitutional personhood amendment (it is again on the ballot this year and will be decisively rejected for a third time) and for endorsing similar federal legislation that has zero chance of passage. By defining personhood as beginning at conception, these measures might preclude birth control technologies that prevent implantation in the uterus of a fertilized egg. On this slender reed, Udall leans his overheated accusations that Gardner is bent on trampling on womens rights, is on a crusade for eliminating reproductive freedoms and would outlaw birth control.
Gardner, 40, cherubic and ebullient, is a human sunbeam whose unshakable cheerfulness is disconcertingly authentic as he exclaims to the waiter at breakfast, Thank you for your work this morning! A fifth-generation Coloradoan who lives in a prairie town in a house once owned by his great-grandparents, Gardner is amused by an anomaly: Udall looks like the Republican in this race — dour and angry. When Gardner ran an ad saying Udall is a real nice guy but too much a creature of Washington to change it (Udalls father, an Arizona congressman, ran for president; Udalls uncle was an Arizona congressman and interior secretary; Udalls cousin is a senator from New Mexico), Udall, in high synthetic dudgeon, called the ad a reprehensible attack on his family. Which elicited this puckish headline in the Washington Examiner: Cory Gardner calls Mark Udall nice guy; Democrats want ad pulled.
This is your brain on weed.
Dems are so used to a deferential media that Udall asks to retape the piece. Unbelievable.
Senator Uterus (D-Colo) endorses free-for-all, no limits, abortion and has perfected the Democrat party line: "For the government to step in at any stage of the pregnancy to militarize a woman's vagina is the equivalent of enslaving a woman to the inconvenient fetus just because she had sex w/ some selfish male in heat. I urge women to place their own interests ahead of the parasites feeding off her body."
Sen Udall's vigilant Vagina Oversight Commiitte includes:
Buddy Balzer. Nikita Genitalia, and Sheldon Sheather
(on-loan; VP of PlannedParenthood's Protection-R-Us).
"Just call Sheldon, Buddy, or Nikita, if you need vagina oversight."
Udall just admitted to what we know about the conditions of most libtard brains— they follow their sick theology mindlessly.
Udall is brain dead everyday...
Why was that day particularly special for Udall?
I saw that on FOX “The Five” the other day. Absolutely unbelievable. Is the Gardner Campaign making any hay out of this?
U-Dull
Me-Dull
We all scream
To oust Dum-dull
