Can't say I shed a tear on this one! Was well deserved!

A New Hampshire Democrat who joked about Sarah Palin's death has resigned from the state's House of Representatives and ended his campaign for reelection, he announced today in a public letter to the House Speaker apologizing for bringing "this House into disrepute."
Rep. Timothy Horrigan had speculated yesterday on Facebook that a slain Palin would become a martyr.
"I don't wish Sarah Palin dead ... but not merely for compassionate reasons. I also want her to live because a living Sarah Palin is less dangerous than a dead one."a dead Palin is more dangerous than a live one," he wrote.
(Horrigan is not to be confused with the other New Hampshire Democratic activist who was rebuked yesterday for expressing the wish that Palin and Levi Johnston had been on the downed airplane carrying Ted Stevens.)
Horrigan wrote before resigning that he "would like to offer a specific apology for making comments about Sarah Palin which could be --- and were --- misconstrued. She is, as far as I know, not a bad person at all --- and certainly she deserves to live a long and happy life."
In his letter to Speak Terie Norelli he wrote, "I apologize for thoughtless remarks I made which have brought this House into disrepute."
An eccentric liberal Democrat from the Durham area, Horrigan's causes had included repealing New Hampshire's 200-year-old ban on adultery.
Another one bites the dust hey hey.
Wow, dems are quite delusional and spastic in their thinking and conduct. The guys comments are down right scary. I sure wish I lived in his neighborhood, I would dress up like Sarah Palin for Halloween and jump out of the bushes every time he opened the door.
Yep, I’m surprised he had the decency to resign.
NH’s gargantuan 400-member House gets more than its fair share of flakes, moonbats and psychos.
The tolerance of the left is nonexistent.
So many swords.... so few Rats willing to fall on them.
Yup. Satire, just like Al Franken.
“She is, as far as I know, not a bad person at all -— and certainly she deserves to live a long and happy life”
...strange statement...as if he gets to decide this.
That's just what they get for being too close to MA.
Former State Representative Thomas Horrigan also announce he will petition the court to allow him to change his name from Thomas Horrigan to Thomas WhoreIAm and that he intends to purse a career in the Rap industry citing his time is the New Hampshire House of Representatives as time in the CRap industry, “All I have to do is lose the C.”
“NH’s gargantuan 400-member House gets more than its fair share of flakes, moonbats and psychos.”
And they only get paid $100 a year. Imagine if they “earned” what federal legislators did
NH Ping.
“would like to offer a specific apology for making comments about Sarah Palin which could be -— and were -— misconstrued”
Misconstrued?? I think it was pretty clear what you were saying. I think you’re brain is “misconscrewed”.
Can't say I shed a tear on this one! Was well deserved!
Me too. I immediately suspect and ulterior motive here.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but over 350 Republicans filed for the Legislature, compared to about 250 Democrats—that doesn’t bode well for them keeping the Legislature in ‘Rat hands, and a mere 2-seat shift will put the Senate at least in a tie. Oh, this is gonna be good, I tell ya.
She has a way of bringing out the whack jobs out of the woodwork. Good, its about damn time these whackos are exposed for exactly what they are. I want to see a Republican say that about Obama and then say his statement was “Misconstrued”
She causes the left to expose their true dark selves, alright.
Notice that the left is never honest about what they intend to do, policy wise, nor are they honest about what they really think about people.
However, someone like SP causes them to react as demons do to holy water. They hiss and screach at the thought of her.
