Not only is Thad never in MS he rarely is at home mentally, either.
I read the article and he comes off as if he’s suffering from the same kind of dementia his wife has. He has problems staying on topic at appearances. He forgets people he just met. Based on how he comes off in the story he really has no business being a senator anymore.
Hysterical. The ossified gOpE is being exposed for all to see. Hopefully, this Tea Party momentum can extend to South Carolina and Tennessee Senatorial primaries.
You know I’m not saying he doesn’t have memory problems but sometimes these D.C. types see others they meet as the “little people” and not worth really paying attention to. “Just another reporter, forget her. Just another voter, forget him. Now when I meet someone really important (you know, like me), then I’ll pay attention.” Whatever it is, I hope he’s on his way out.
I forget my kids names sometimes.
Not defending the guy for anything beyond that. Short term memory is a bitch as you get older.
I’m an old coot and I can say with assurity that old coot is too old to serve another term.
Byrd and Thurmond were icons of the Senate. A little special treatment for them is okay, but THAD WHO?
(. ‘Hello, how are you doing?’ he said with a kindly smile. ‘I’m Thad Cochran.’)
At least he remembers his lines well.
He’s not saying “Now what was it Haley told me to say”
