Senator Al Franken (Democrat, Minnesota) compares Republicans to four year old
children. This created an unexpected
chain reaction amongst Republicans, which culminated in Senate Minority Leader,
Mitch McConnell (Republican, Kentucky) threatening to “hold my breath until I
turn blue.”
It all began On October 22, when MSNBC Host, Rachel Maddow,
quoted Franken from his 2003 book “Lies (and the Lying Liars who tell
them). Franken stated in an obscure
passage “They don't get it. We love
America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love
America the way a four-year old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like
grown-ups. To a four-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone
who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what
you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow. Love
takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world.”
The Quote was picked up picked up the next day,
Tuesday, October 23, 2012, by Sean Hannity, who threw himself on the floor
kicking and screaming.
By Wednesday, October 24, 2012 the quote had
reached the campaign trail, when upon hearing the quote Vice Presidential
Nominee, Paul Ryan, upon hearing the quote started to shriek, uncontrollably
then ultimately took his campaign and went home.
Then finally on Thursday, October 25, 2012, when Senator
McConnell heard the quote he said that he had had enough and unless it stopped
he would hold his breath until he turned blue.
Then he puffed up his cheeks and held his breath.
This reporter attempted to reach
Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney for a comment, but he was in the middle of
a “time-out.”
