http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-mitch-mcconnell_us_58f25feae4b0bb9638e45a52?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has apparently been ignoring Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) since moving to silence her on the Senate floor in February, Warren told The Boston Globe.
McConnell cut Warren off in February as she tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King during a speech on the Senate floor, explaining her opposition to Jeff Sessions nomination to be attorney general. McConnell invoked a little-used rule that blocks senators by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.
Even though Sessions was eventually confirmed and two months have passed since the incident, the relationship between the two senators still remains frosty.
Ive spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me, Warren told the Globe in an interview published Saturday. I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head.
So this is a club alright, and women arent part of it unless they act the way this prick insists they act.
Getting madder by the minute.

She should keep on cheerily saying hello to him and wishing him a good day. I am sure nothing makes him angrier.

She needs to hum this tune every time she sees him!
(OK, maybe waving while she's humming the tune, perhaps not using "all" fingers!)
