UPDATE 5:17 p.m.:

Perdue’s press secretary, Chris Mackey, claims the Governor was joking when she made the comment.

“Come on…Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of what’s best for the people they serve,” Mackey said in an email to TheDC.

“I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

Does that sound like she's joking?

Hey governor, you know what's a really good joke? Next time you go to the airport tell the TSA you've got a bomb in your purse. Loads of laughs.

Now the Rat governor says she was just joking, i.e., hyperbole. Yeah, right. She didn’t like the reaction to what she said. Can you say backpedaling?

Is there video of Perdue suggesting that the next election be canceled? I would like to see it to tell if she was joking or not.

The "I was joking" excuse always works for Republicans, doesn't it? /heavy sarcasm

And Peter Orzag was just “Joking!” when he said “We need less Democracy to counter gridlock”, right?

Liberalism has ALWAYS been a religion of regressive totalitarianism. Why does this surprise anyone?
