Congresswoman Anne Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) says her recent injuries from a drunken collapse that will prevent her from appearing in Congress for a while should not be taken as a sign of unfitness for office. "First, let me point out that my office will be fully functional during my absence. All the hard work of researching issues, taking positions, and crafting public statements is done by my staff. They tell me what to think and how to vote. The formality of actually casting a vote can easily be done in absentia."
"Second, let's not forget that a considerable portion of the voting population are alcoholics," She added. "Alcoholics are people. Who better to represent them in the halls of government than one of their own? In fact, many of my colleagues in Congress are high-functioning alcoholics. I think when most people are reminded that Trump never drinks, they should be more appreciative of those of us who do."

So what are the voters of Arizona paying you to do? You don’t make decisions, you don’t research anything, and you’re told what to do....You are a waste of money and office space. You can work from home with that requirement. And anyone that can have a name and a heartbeat can fit the description of your job requirement. You’re job is a true minimum wage job by it’s description. You might have the proxy vote for the $15 an hour minimum wage before the light bulb goes on in Arizona and you get handed a pay cut.

Sounded like a minimum-wage job description to me.....and I don’t mean $15/hr.either....less than that. I had worked in the private sector for a long time & absence because of alcoholism always eventually meant one thing.....dismissal.

A federal employee failing a drug test such being drunk can be removed immediately from their job. How is it that our dictatorial class of rulers do not follow their oath of office to obey the Constitution nor any laws morals or any accepted standards or ethics of those that elected them.
And the staff can finish off the booze she had stashed around the office.
“I’ll drink to that!”
Sincerely,
Chris Matthews
