Call Me Old Fashioned I still think morality has a place in politics. It shouldn't matter that the two live in different districts. I thought Mr. Emmer might be so appalled at the idea of anyone who spewed such rubbish having any position in the Republican Party that he would call for resignation.

I know where Andy should go.... If this guy wants to carry a gun at all times, shoot people, support the President and get his war on........I mean, why is he wasting his time challenging Ron Carey to a duel?

Andy, Andy, Andy, get thee to an army recruiter. The Army needs you. Your country needs you.You wouldn't get to shoot at Ron Carey or Libruls,, but the army would find you some Designated Enemies and give you a big gun.

So what's stopping you, fella?

Is it because you're yet another one little, itty, bitty, tiny, small Republican guys who likes to play dress-up on aircraft carriers, but is no where to be found when there's a real fight to be had. With real bullets?

Huh, why? Huh, why would Mr Emmer urge Andy to resign? He said that Andy didn't represent him, and it's true, Mr Emmer lives in a difference district. If the people in Andy's district think there is someone better then Andy to lead their BPOU, that is up to them.

In Which Case Mr. Aplikowski should resign.

Will you urge him to do so, Mr. Emmer?

Andy Aplikowski does not speak for the GOP After reading the interview my first thought was that you took Andy out and got him completely wasted and then began the interogation. When I realized that Andy was lucid I immediately felt a sense of sadness come over me.

Don't get me wrong, Andy has every right to make a complete ass out of himself anywhere he chooses to do so. But when he impunes (intentionally or not) anyone wearing a GOP jersey there's a lot more than just Andy's dignity at stake.

Whatever lapse in judgement that has caused Andy to think he has punked (punkt, whatever) Minnesota Monitor has more likely actually made fools out of those of us whose views he purports to represent.

Andy represents Andy. He doesn't represent me. He doesn't represent the opinion or character of the GOP. To suggest otherwise is almost as irresponsible as Andy's decision to partciapate in your interview.

On the Lloydletta2 thing Sometimes Minnesota Monitor seems to have me logged in for commenting, sometimes not - and it's not immediately obvious where you log in. So I did the ll2 thing just to be quick. Sorry about that.

I appreciate your suspicion on that matter, since there other places where people to impersonate me.

Just realized that My bad -- saw the lloydletta2 instead of lloydletta, and briefly thought your handle was being abused.

Also missed that quote from the interview transcript.

This was the money quote from Aplikowski's interview That was my point – his interview was offensive and racist.

Fact-check, please Obama attended a Muslim-run school in Indonesia during his childhood, but good luck finding a credible source that says he was actually a Muslim himself. Read the recent New York Times profile on his relationship between himself and his minister for more information.

And racism is unwelcome here.

Money Quote I am a bit worried about your boy Obama though. He used to worship that Allah, and his middle-name is Hussein. Coincidence????

Those kind of people are nuts, and the last thing we need is another Muslim in DC, let alone the White house. Ellison is enough. It scares me to even think about what he is sending thru CAIR to bin Laden and Iran. I bet Obama would sign a new NATO-esque agreement with Syria and Iran and attack Europe and Israel.

Anyone but a Democrat I suppose would be just dandy. Unless Shrillary could shed about 50 pounds and drop the sourthern twang. Then, well, maybe. I would just love to see how Slick Willy sneaks ‘nappy headed hos’ into the Oval Office behind her back now.

Seriously, when is the last time you or your readers have seen them together? I am thinking it was his Library and Massage parlor opening. Maybe a funeral. Other than that, have they even been in the same frame of a picture?

*******

But now Andy is saying this is all a joke.
