Editorial Calls Mark Kirk Unhinged

[DonViejo]

The Southern Illinoisan eviscerates Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) in an editorial:

“Mark Kirk suddenly has more in common with your unhinged uncle than a deliberative member of the U.S. Senate… Illinoisans thought they elected a center-right fiscal conservative. They instead got the love child of Michele Bachmann and Ted Cruz, a man more concerned with making a name within his party’s fringe than representing his constituents.”

1. Outstanding! Next they need to go after Gov. Rauner.

Pretty much the same deal. Apparently Bachmann Loser Overdrive and Carnival Cruz had twins.

2. Mark Kirk is bolstering his credentials with the fringe

because he knows that's where the money is for out-of-work politicians (see also: Santorum, Rick).

And he will soon be out of work, because there is no way that he will hold on to his senate seat in Illenois (of all places) in a presidential election year (2016).

3. I generally frown upon speculating about the health of people

but it is hard to ignore that Kirk had a stroke and is now speaking with no discernable filter. Regardless of why he is doing what he is doing, he is unfit for the Senate.

4. To be fair he was unfit for the Senate BEFORE his stroke as well...

...nasty little two-faced POS

5. He's gone off the rails a number of times recently.

It's good to see him being called out.
