NOTE: Just spoke with Katherine. Some colleagues (including Republicans) were not pleased that she challenged Hillary. I told he that what she did was going to be in history books. It was a political tsunami and changed the campaign. The press can no longer ignore it.

NH House speaker scolds colleagues over their behavior

CONCORD — The public behavior of several lawmakers was chastised by colleagues who said Wednesday it reflects poorly on the House and Senate at a time when the eyes of the nation are on New Hampshire. At issue were comments several House members made on social media about a female representative, and the behavior of another representative at a presidential event.

In the Senate, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester) referred to an incident at a Derry rally with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton where Rep. Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien (R-Derry) repeatedly shouted questions about Clinton's husband sexual behavior. Like the nipple bill, Prudhomme-O'Brien's behavior drew national attention and puts the state in a negative light. D'Allesandro, who was at the Derry event, called it "the most ridiculous behavior manifested by an elected public official I have ever seen."

Way to go, Kath!

Sen. Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester), scum-sucking slime that he is, appears to support rape as a method to control women.

Perhaps D'Allesandro should become a Muslim, and get it over with.

The little worm had better not shoot his mouth off in public.

A real man might straighten him out.

What would Preston Brooks do with “senator” D’Allesandro...

The Democrats’ War on Women continues...

You folks not familiar with New England politics should understand that there's really no such thing as a New Hampshire Rat.Most such creatures,if you check their backgrounds,emerged from the ooze that is Massachusetts (and Vermont) politics and migrated there.

The Saul Alinskyists had to remove their masks to protect their designated leader. I knew these types in high school as “socies” they acted as if they were born to rule.

Wouldn’t waste a nice gutta-percha walking stick on ole Lou.

I’d last about 5 minutes in office. In this instance I would rise to speak and say “F... you!” then sit down.
