A Tale Of Two “Incidents”
By Mitch Berg
Governor Messinger Dayton responds to a little laughing and just about the mildest heckling in the history of face-to-face politics:
Contrast: Tom Emmer responds to having a bag of 2,000 pennies dumped on him by an ofay young stooge acting with the full approval of the entire DFL:
I played hockey…and that actually got me to jump a little bit”
And that was it.
(Not that whinging like Governor Messinger Dayton would have done any good; the DFL approved of young Robert Espinosa’s little stunt, and thus so did the media).
Note to Governor Messinger Dayton: we’re not your butlers and maids. We pay the taxes – and those of us who pay attention notice that you and your idiot party are asking a lot of us to pay way too much. For more and more people every day, it’s way more than this state is worth.
Anyway – I hope that noticing that people aren’t amused by your distracted noodling while your lieutenants and the special interests that put you in office gut the economy and our personal savings doesn’t scare you off from appearing in public (outside the Twin Cities metro, anyway); I’ve got some tough questions for you too.
“Heckling”, I believe you and your praetorian guard call it.

Meanwhile, the Leader of the Free World made a little joke about la Bachmann over the weekend that implied she liked burning books. A laff riot, that.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don’t want to hear another freaking word about civility from the Left.

Well, you certainly won’t hear a civil word from them.

Mr. Berg. The best that Minnesota can produce is Governor Dayton. This was his campaign message: “Tax the wealthy for ‘education.'”
He won.
Emmer is a good man and in any respectable state…
I’m looking at North Dakota. Before today, I thought it was too cold up there…
…but schools, sorry, “education” is being shut down in Southern Minnesota due to global warming.
What’s the mascot of the school? “Fighting Sioux?”
Those men could fight. Mr. Dayton is played out.
Is Minnesota?

Hey, lighten up! At least Gooberner did not hide under the table this time!
