Congressman Don Young and Bull Sex
Alaska’s only congressman, Republican Don Young, continues down the steep slide to total wackiness.
First, he tells his Democratic opponent not to touch him because the last man who touched him “ended up on the ground dead.”
Then he goes to talk to the student body at Wasilla High School. When asked about marriage equality, Young began a wild and wooly explanation about bull sex with a little profanity thrown in. We think maybe he meant bullcrap because the students in Wasilla are accustomed to that.
Then he goes off on blaming the students for a classmate’s suicide.
Alaska: The State Where Sarah Palin Is The Sane One.
Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.
“Roll Call profiled Young this week, noting that he has ‘a reputation for being ornery, aggressive — and maybe even a little unstable.'”
Sounds like a typical GOP candidate to me. Except for the “a little” part.
“Young’s spokesman acknowledged to the newspaper that the congressman could have taken a more sensitive approach on the topic of suicide.”
Another commonplace in the GOP: somebody to follow after you explaining that you didn’t really mean to say what it sounds exactly like you said. (Well, okay, Joe Biden too.)
See, this is what I mean about testing aspiring voters to see if they’ve been paying attention. Anyone sane who’s been reading what this guy says wouldn’t put him in charge of a one-car parade, let alone a seat in Congress.
1I hope the last man who touched him wasn’t his doctor.
2Mrs. B! Agree with you 99.9% of the time, but with this:
“Alaska: The State Where Sarah Palin Is The Sane One.”
That .1% shot broke my sarcasm meter. You were joking. Right?
3Hooo, boy! Stick a fork in him! He’s done! Shoulda been in a rubber room long ago! Blaming the kids at the high school for someone’s suicide is so far over the top its into another galaxy. Shame on him!
4He’s challenging Loopy Louie … right?
It’s just sad that they all seem to be so totally INSANE!!
5Don and Louie–separated at birth?
6I’m guessing the last man to touch him was surprised when Young struck the classic, bare-knuckle, Marquess of Queensbury stance, offering to fight. He laughed himself into an apoplectic fit and fell on the ground, dead.
(It should be noted that it is, indeed, a wide stance. Methinks this bull doth protest overmuch.)
7In defense of Alaska’s sanity, there’s Jim Wright (stonekettlestation.com), who just makes the rest of them look all that much worse.
8Look, give Alaska some credit. After all, they did create the Alaska Permanent Fund, where unlike states like Texas and Louisiana, didn’t spend their oil windfall but rather invested it and kept investing it. And then made sure the politicians couldn’t raid it.
9the GOP did leave me!!!!
10The last man to touch Don Young ended up with a bad case of GOPbola. Which is far more lethal than Ebola.
11Unfortunately, the current state of that oil windfall is that much of it is going back into the pockets of the oil industry since Capt. Zero (aka our current and hopefully soon-to-be-ex governor) and his buddies gave them all sorts of tax breaks with the money that should be going into the Permanent Fund.
We should be following Kansas down that yellow brick road pretty soon.
12Congressman Don Young, eh? More like Senator Jack S. Phogbound.
13Now that’s just what parents want from an “inspirational” speaker for their kids. He’s full of bullcr**.
14TalG-you are a bit behind the times if you think whitey wingnut hasn’t raided the permanent fund. Wingnuts voted to give the awl companies about 2 billion bucks a year back in awl revenues with no strings attached.
15My apologies Lynne. I did not see or read your post before responding to TalG. Forgive me or kill me-whichever.
16Yon Dung should learn to keep his mouth shut, but won’t.

Young now blames federal largesse for suicides,except if that were true we’d have a shortage of rich people.
18Rhea-you ever noticed that parade elephants have a gang of followers who clean up after them?
