Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, who is facing the fight of his political life in a run off election against state senator Chris McDaniel, has admitted to some unexplained youthful indiscretion involving animals.
Touting his strong ties to the area near Pine Bluff, which turned out heavily for McDaniel in the June 3 GOP primary, the 76 year-old Cochran said that he used to play in the countryside as a child.
And thats not all.
He did all kinds of indecent things with animals, he said, according to the Hattiesburg American.
Its an odd remark in an already bizarre campaign.
Several McDaniel supporters were involved in a plot to take a picture of Cochrans ailing wife in her residence at a nursing home. And on the night of the June 3 runoff, other McDaniel supporters were found locked inside of the courthouse where votes were being tallied.
Cochran addressed those incidents in his remarks on Tuesday, the Hattiesburg American reported.
Cochran campaign spokesman Jordan Russell downplayed Cochrans comment about his youthful whimsies with animals.

Thad will blame it all on Bad Lip Reading.
Well, he’ll have the homo vote in his pocket now.
If you check the other FR thread on this subject, it is clear that he was making a joke and the joke was well received by the live audience at the time.
Of course a live joke looks a lot different than on printed paper.
Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) provided his latest head-scratching comment in public, this time joking he engaged in illicit activities with animals as a child.
[Wed] get back [to the Pine Belt-Hattiesburg area of Mississippi] as often as we could because it was funit was an adventure to be out there in the country and see what goes on, Cochran said of his childhood and how parts of his family lived in the central part of the state. Picking up pecans, from that to all kind of indecent things with animals.
The audience laughed at that point,
...he was making a joke and the joke was well received by the live audience at the time.

First of all, that shows how out of touch the old coot is with the 21st Century. He should have known that in this “information age” and cyber space, that would be the death knell to his candidacy. The ones who were at his little rally and laughed are apparently his supporters. Most of them have probably practiced beastiality at some point in their life.
OK, staytrue, keep on trying to defend the senile, old, RINO. Joking about engaging in bestiality as a young man, is so tacky and inappropriate for a man who is 1 of 100, out of a population of 350,000,000 serving in the United States Senate. I guess it would be funny if he joked about molesting a child as a youth; huh?
“Most of them have probably practiced beastiality at some point in their life.”
Making slanderous accusations without one iota of proof or even evidence or hearsay is way below what republicans and/or conservatives aspire to.
Just saying.
Make the move on a Friday evening after the news of the day is done... ;-)
But then, does anyone on FR really watch the news-of-the-day on the broadcast media???? ;-) Just wait until the UT is over a thou posts, which won't be long, and seize the carp, er, whatever...
Somebody’s got to get that line onto Bozo’s teleprompter
I figured he meant he tortured the animals.
