Which Republican did Rush say he was glad lost?

[biss5577]

Connie Morella--Montgomery County Maryland

[j.havenfarm]

It was a little confusing the way he put it, but I took him to mean Connie Morella, the woman to whom the last caller referred.

[MP5]

She was a Republican by name only. Voted majority of the time with the RATS.

I don’t know, but Rush just played this snippet about Lauttenberg’s “victory” speech about Forrester. It’s absolutely disgusting:

I just got a call from Forrester. . . aah, that’s over. We can afford . . . . to be nice. He is, after all, a constituent of mine. I have to pay attention.

[Fred Mertz]

Lautenberg is a nasty old fart. He really said that?

[Ziva]

My nephew lives in her district. He claims she said she might vote for Gephardt for Speaker. She also voted against impeachment. She deserved to lose.

[Luke21]

Gray Davis was pretty nauseating too.

As for Morella, she was a pure socialist. She was an embarassment and tried to run to the left of the Dem in the race. It's a win for us to have her gone.

[biss5577]

Two words come to mind.....no class.

[skeeter]

Why should we be surprised Lautenberg is personally a jerk? Even a slug like the Torch hates him.

[nicmarlo]

Yes. Rush played it twice. The part where I have elipses, I couldn't quite get (I missed a couple words), the rest is VERBATIM. And Rush couldn't believe it. He said that was "mean."

[Recon by Fire]

Lautenberg probably does not remember what he said.

[Cinnamon Girl]

First I've heard of her. I'm happy if Rush is happy.

[nicmarlo]

No class trash. Then Rush played another snippet of one of the debates.....the guy sounded like a total idiot....he couldn't say one complete sentence. He'd say two words, then couldn't finish his thoughts, he rambled.....made absolutely no sense. This is who NJ elected. OMG!

[Callahan]

Does anyone really think that Lautenberg is actually going to serve a full term. I give him three months before he has a stroke on the Senate floor and is replaced by Gov. McGreaseball

[RetiredArmy]

Kaliforniastan will endure 4 more years of rising crime, rising taxes, rising illegals, rising energy prices, rising budget shortfalls, rising deficits and they have only themselves to blame. They deserve everything they get in the next four years for being so stupid to vote this criminal back in. Welcome to the new third world country on the US payroll, Kaliforniastan.

[BushMeister]

I'm glad Morella lost, too. We don't need her vote to organize the House, and it's better to have your ideological opponents clearly identified with a (D) before their name for proper targeting and disposal.

Not that we have much of a chance of taking back that partucular MD House seat, but the new Republican governor's victory over a Kennedy gives some hope.

[Recon by Fire]

She (Morella) voted against authorizing the first President Bush to use military force to drive Iraqi troops from Kuwait.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Two of the three Republican congressmen defeated for reelection were endorsed by the Brady bunch (gun-grabbers) - Connie Morella (MD-8) and Felix Grucci (NY-1).

[Texas_Jarhead]

you left out all the Booos after he mentioned Forrester by name - they ain't called RATS for nothin
