>>What ever happened to the phrase “It was joke”?<<
Whwn one becomes a lefty the first requirement is removing humor.
Remember, to these people “Orange Man Bad” is the very PINNACLE of humor.
I am supporting incumbent AZ US Senator McSally with money even though I’m not in AZ, so obviously I am not a fan of Captain Mark Kelly USN (ret) who is her opponent in this election. That being said, what does this apology tell us about the man, his campaign, his supporters and his perception of his voters?
No one in the military for any length of time would come anywhere close to needing an apology for this wry commentary on long-duration space flight. The number of unprintable comments on living conditions on ISS make this one, given to a Boy Scout Council, as pure as the driven snow in comparison. So what pushes this button when we, his non-supporters, are shrugging in puzzlement.
My best guess is that, in the use of ‘Rodrigo’ in conjunction with the animal terms and living in the woods, he fears giving offense to Latinos. Arizona is, no surprise, heavily Hispanic at 24%+ and that is, almost certainly, a bulwark of the expected Democrat Base. New Jersey native Captain Kelly came to Arizona through his 2nd marriage to US Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), a native of Tucson, in January of 2007. As such, even with a putative lead of 7% in the polls, he probably desires to be in front of any irritation that this ‘joke’ may produce.
What it says about the Democrat speciality of Identity Politics that serves to DIVIDE AMERICANS is, to me, the important IMPLICIT piece in this story. For all of their accusations of hate mongering, from Reagan, to the Bush Presidents and now to Donald Trump, it is this tactic of alienation and jealousy that is their most used weapon. So Captain Kelly fears that Rodrigo is enough to lose this election suggests to me that his campaign has this tactic at the forefront rather than a positive message to all Arizona!
You might find this interesting. It is not a classified document.
Kelly has been stricken by the politically correct Bend Over Syndrome. He lives in fear of giving offense to the Woking Dead, thus threatening his “electoral viability”.
He’s an ass from head to toe.
LOL I forgot the a.
Funny though...
Mark Kelly is offensive.
McSally needs to use this in her ads.
But she won’t.
"Did someone say monkey?"
I won’t hold it against him if he just goes away.
