You know that bully at the public swimming pool who thinks it’s amusing to hold kids’ heads underwater?
New Hampshire GOP Chairman Jennifer Horn had tough words.
Insisting “this is our moment,” Horn said, “A wave just doesn’t happen. Waves happen when every single member of a cause or a movement come together.
“This is our time, we need to crush it and push their heads under over and over and over again until they cannot breathe anymore,” said Horn.
Well, I’m not a weakling, and I won’t submit to this behavior. And I won’t take this standing down, either:
Former Gov. John H. Sununu said Democrats should be “embarrassed of their President who has failed America, who has screwed America, and we have to make a change.
“Think of how disgraceful it is to have a disgrace in the White House,” Sununu said.
I’m not embarrassed about our president. I’m proud of him. But let’s talk about disgrace for a moment:
December 4, 1991
The President’s son, George W. Bush, told Mr. Sununu last week that he no longer had any political support, a message that a senior Republican today called “a hint so broad that it would be hard to miss.”
Mr. Bush, who was traveling in Florida and Mississippi, accepted Mr. Sununu’s resignation without a grand face-saving gesture. This seemed to reflect the consensus that Mr. Sununu was responsible for several embarrassing political missteps and flip-flops and had in the final days of his tenure tried to salvage his political fortunes by turning the heat on his boss.
Mr. Bush passed Mr. Sununu over for a departmental Cabinet position or an ambassadorship, posts for which he was considered virtually unconfirmable because of his sour relations with Congress.
Mr. Bush also declined to guarantee Mr. Sununu even a ceremonial role in the 1992 campaign team. This omission seemed to signal the President’s wish to remove the chief of staff from his inner circle entirely at a time when Mr. Bush is increasingly eager to recover from a drop in his public approval ratings.
Also, too:
June 23, 1991
The White House has imposed strict new travel rules on John H. Sununu after an internal review found that the chief of staff misinformed Administration officials about who paid for his trip on a private jet to a recent Republican fund raiser in Chicago.
The new rules, which were issued on Friday evening, require Mr. Sununu to arrange his travel for political events through the White House Office of Administration, which will obtain transportation for him, White House officials said today. The administration office is under Mr. Sununu’s authority as chief of staff, and White House officials said the White House counsel would also review the plans before they were approved.
So, who’s a disgrace?
