"Compassionate Conservatism"

C
ongressperson Barbara Cubin (R-WY) is an embarrassment. An out-and-out, utter embarrassment.

Yesterday's episode: after a debate with her multiple-sclerosis-suffering, wheelchair-bound Libertarian opponent, Thomas Rankin, Cubin walked up to Rankin and said, "If you weren't sitting in that chair, I'd slap you across the face."

Her spokesman doesn't deny that Mr. Cubin made the comment, but wants us to know that "she's over it."

Glad she's over it. Must have been very traumatic for her.
