Wanker of the Day: Pete Sessions

You want the definition of putting partisanship before country? Check this out:

As a two-term chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Rep. Pete Sessions has never been known for reaching across the aisle.

In the year since relinquishing that gig and taking the gavel of the Rules Committee, the Texas Republican is still focused on politics and elections — and scoring points for the GOP.

And right now, he’s got one target in his sights.

“Everything we do in this body should be about messaging to win back the Senate,” he said. “That’s it. If you don’t want Benghazis to happen or you want an investigation for Benghazi, if you want an investigation on the IRS as opposed to the excuses that [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid is all about, if you do not like what’s happening at the [National Security Agency], then you gain the Senate.”

It’s kind of breathtaking in it’s assholishness.

I also heard reports that Pete Sessions recently told the president that he couldn’t even stand to look at him. I don’t know if those reports are true, but they seem plausible.
