Cotton worries about US interference in foreign negotiations

Not Borowitz!!

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/cotton-worries-about-us-interference-foreign-negotiations

On the Senate floor yesterday afternoon, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) shared some striking concerns about U.S. foreign policy. He also offered a rather profound example of a politician failing a test of self-awareness.

Earlier in the day, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters that when it comes to the U.S. policy towards Israel, “We’re currently evaluating our approach.” The comments were important, but not surprising – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent antics were bound to carry some consequences.

But Cotton, the right-wing freshman in his second month in the Senate, called Psaki’s comments “worrisome“ – for a very specific reason....

Hold on a second. Cotton is now concerned about U.S. officials “undermining” foreign officials “currently in negotiations”?


Isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic... </alanis>

Republicans have fully revealed their hand that they intend to rip up the Constitution, legal precedent,mand truth in their flailing quest to convince Americans the strapping young Family Values President seeking peace over war is a Demon......

The whole plot is straight from The Onion!

Maybe he thinks everyone is as dim as the mouth breathers who voted for him.
