Colo. GOP jerk tells Dem: 'I'll ram my fist up your ass'

At the time this was written Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, still hadn't forthrightly apologized for warning a colleague Tuesday on the floor of the House, "If you try that again, I'll ram my fist up your ass."

Instead, Cadman was splitting hairs. He insisted the responsibility was reciprocal: The fellow he'd threatened, Rep. Val Vigil, D-Thornton, should have to apologize, too, because Vigil had told Cadman he was "garbage." In fact, Cadman suggested, Vigil should apologize first, presumably because he'd "started it," to use the playground lingo appropriate for these two legislative titans.

Well, of course Vigil should have apologized immediately, too. But an individual's responsibility to do the right thing is not contingent on others acting first. What is shocking is not only Cadman's reluctance to express regret but the fact that he wasn't absolutely mortified by what he'd stooped to say. It would never occur to most people to use such an expression even in private, no matter how incensed they were over an affront, let alone utter such words in public before other elected officials.

1. So . . . how is Jeff Gannon involved?? n/t

[Zinfandel]

17. LOL!

Yeah, if doesn't have Gannon where's the story?

[Justitia]

2. So, Rep Cadman is fond of "fisting"??? Shocking. -eom

[sarcasmo]

3. Those Republican sure like to ram things up AS*

[calimary]

35. Interesting note here:

"It would never occur to most people to use such an expression even in private, no matter how incensed they were over an affront, let alone utter such words in public before other elected officials."

VERY interesting. Gee, they're starting to notice, 'eh? If one MUST quibble about who "started it," why don't we just stroll down Memory Lane to that encounter dick cheney had with Senator Patrick Leahy?

[htuttle]

4. I think I once saw a video of that on the internets

I don't know if it was Rep. Cadman however. I couldn't really make out the person's face.

5. What IS It About Repunk Homophobia/Obsession???

Do they even realize how strange and conflicted they sound when they do this sort of stuff?

It's really bizarre.

[mwb970]

6. The psychology of it is fascinating...

Most of their hot-button issues have to do with sex (straight or gay), pregnancy, and childbirth. What gives with that? Is it the religion?

[justjones]

7. You see what you libruls are forcing white male heteroes to resort to?

What was once confined to the vaginas and bedrooms of lesbians has now managed to make it's way into the mainstream:

Ass-fisting.

See how our librul culture is influencing good old fashioned American red-blooded white heterosexual Christian males?!?!

</sarcasm>

[Spinzonner]

8. Obviously these two

need a time-Out

Now go to your offices and you can come back when you're ready to behave like good little legislators.

[BanzaiBonnie]

9. Oh crap

I read the last post as "Now go to your orifices"


Only when i uncrossed my eyes did I get "go to your offices"

[Spinzonner]

16. Actually

seems to work either way in this case

[w4rma]

10. Another Republican pervert … (nt)

[Blue_In_AK]

11. Wow, these Republicans ARE kinky, aren't they?? n/t

[Vinnie From Indy]

12. Vigil should have replied,"I'm glad I didn't call you a MF Assh*le"

Just teasin'

Maybe he could have replied something like. "It's getting pretty bad when you can't even have a passionate debate with a Republican these days without being threatened with forced, anal, sado-masochistic sex acts. Who does this guy think he is Jeff Gannon or something?"

All Democrats should segway into the Gannon scandal any time they are in front of a camera.

[ldf]

18. or he should have said

"you try that and i'll make you choke on your own dick!"

[d_b]

13. Fisting Republicans. What's next?

[LittleClarkie]

14. My response to him would have been

"Oh, would you, darling?"

[gratuitous]

15. Gee, if they aren't talking about fisting

It's "go Cheney yourself." Such potty-mouths on the R side of the aisle!

[lonestarnot]

19. Have his check with Gannon, it may be a provided service...n/t

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

20. Sounds like Cadman has some pent-up secret desires

Possible the first time in Congressional history that a member of Congress has expressed an intention to, uh, fist another member. Context is everything I guess (though Cadman gets the idiot of the month prize no matter how you cast it).

[JunkYardDogg]

34. Great Name

Leaves ya
Screamin and Cryin

[marcologico]

21. sounds like they miss Jeff already n/t

[JunkYardDogg]

22. Rethugs are SO Anal Obsessive

Maybe his Motto is "Fist First"

[Withywindle]

26. No, no, they should

"Fist Frist First!"

[zulchzulu]

23. Is the GOP becoming the KY Jelly Party?

They are slippery and tend to be assholes, but this is ridiculous.

[Strawman]

24. Reminds me of a great song by Leather Nun

FFA

[Catherine Vincent]

25. And people voted for this foul mouth jerk?

[ZootSuitGringo]

27. Damn! That's harsh!

When are we gonna have some kickass Dems to do talk like this.

Unfortunately, the more Repugs talk like this, the more they are liked. Go figure.

[regnaD kciN]

28. Yet another Cheney Republican...

:puke:

[orleans]

29. oooh baby

what a naughty thing to say. (say it again--only whisper it)

now that we know for sure who's been naughty and nice...let us pray (it never goes any further)

[Crunchy Frog]

30. Gosh, that just makes me so proud to be a Coloradoan.

Really, you can't even let those Repukes out in public anymore.:mad:

[marcologico]

31. Hate to think what comes after the foreplay. (n/t)

[fortyfeetunder]

32. Rep. Cadman needs some RED BANDANAs!!!

http://www.gaycityusa.com/HANKYCODES.htm

I understand there is a hanky code that was used among the gay community, this was one website. For someone who does those things with fists..walk around with red bandanas....

[No Exit]

33. Those of you with "red state" friends/family, let me ask you

Quick--how many times have you been chided by your red state family or "friends", if you used profanity in a conversation?

I'm sure some here would never use profanity, but I am one who does use it sometimes. And if I inadvertantly do it in front of some nice, white-bread, churchgoing, morally upright, type, I have had them say, "Please don't use profanity!"

So, is this trash-talking repuke representing said nice, white-bread, churchgoing, morally upright people? If so, have they asked him to clean up his language?

36. No Doubt Cadman Calls Himself A Christian Man

Best line of the article:

With Tuesday's outburst and its aftermath, Cadman has revealed himself as a sanctimonious loose cannon - someone to whom it might be wise to give a wide berth.

[kentuck]

37. Just like George Bush is telling his supporters to bend over...

so he can ram his fist.........but they seem to enjoy it quite a bit.

[DinahMoeHum]

38. CO Dem should answer, ". . .and I'll make you lick your fist afterwards."

:evilfrown:

[Bostonian]

39. Disgusting, no matter how mad he was

I don't care how mad Cadman was, or why. That's just an awful thing to say.
