was underscore his own unimportance with this stunt. It was not covered extensively outside of Colorado, and a google advanced search of redstate.com shows no mention of Lamborn in the past week. (Other blogs like HuffPo and Politico picked up mention of it.)
All the important Republicans attended, and dutifully refused to clap whenever the cameras strayed upon them. If Lamborn carried any relevance outside of his 100% party-line voting reliability, he would have been there so he could show the base that he won’t clap for Obama either.
Lamborn is such a dipshit.
What’s not to like? He makes the Republican Party look pissy and petulant. It may play well with a slice of his base, but to Indies?
Who does he think did? The man is very definition of “non-entity”. Look it up. You’ll find a blurred unrecognizable picture of the guy.
I think the party may try and avoid the fiasco hosted by the boyles/caplis/silverman trio last year with the on-air fights with Maes, Tancredo, etc.
Jon Caldera is no longer on at night and he was able to get Ann Colter and other big repub names for his show. I wonder if that will make a difference.
Clear Channel is very responsive to its one progressive/democratic listener.
This is far more attention than Lamebrain deserves.
because it symbolizes the my-ears-are-plugged, my-way-or-the-highway attitude of the GOP more broadly. He deserves attention for this, and so do the others who were playing hookie, if there are any.
Sen. Kirk (R-IL) had a stroke the other day and is recovering. Of course, Lamborn couldn’t exactly come out and use Kirk as justification, could he?
Now THAT is classy, my friend !
Lamborn is the one trying to justify his actions by saying that others didn’t attend, without saying just who that might be or why…
What did I do that isn’t classy here?
One wonders what ArapG thought you were saying. Wait. I forgot. ArapG is paid not to think, just to parrot.
Off to the next talking point, and not exactly anxious to defend Lamebrain’s disrespect of the Presidency, even if the Oval Office is occupied by one of them colored people.
I’ll make sure he comes back to this.
Lots of us have done worse than this on this blog. If he sees it and apologizes, great, but if not, what does it really matter…
But I’d love to know whether he misread something – I don’t know how – or I touched on something sensitive that he knows more about than I do.
by Pols question:
Why can’t Lamborn be a putz in a class all by himself? Are you denying “Colorado exceptionalism”?
somehow President Obama found the fortitude to carry on with the speech. About 8:30 pm ET word began to leak out that Obama may not be able to overcome his disappointment sufficiently to give the speech. But even with the reduced crowd (only 434 Representatives, 99 Senators, Cabinet members, Supreme court members, generals, and various spectators in the room and merely tens of millions watching on TV), because these few people had already begun to gather, Obama was forced to overcome the devastating impact of Lamborn’s absence and carry on. But you could see Lamborn’s impact in Obama’s dispirited, low-key, un-energetic delivery. Obama may never really recover.
Overheard as Obama was shaking hands after his address Tuesday night. I swear.
