DeMint: Honduras situation just like Al Franken's election

Wed, 07/08/2009 - 4:16pm

South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint says the armed ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya is no more a coup than Al Franken's recent Minnesota Senate victory:

Well...yes, they would have been exactly the same if the Minnesota national guard had broken into Norm Coleman's bedroom in the middle of the night and put him on a plane to Wisconsin.

The hits keep on coming from South Carolina.

It is the backwards swampland

It is the backwards swampland of the two Carolinas. It is deserving of scorn since its failing education and public health and the withdrawl of state govt assistance for the poor and needy to maintain budget requirements.

Easy now

There's plenty of congressional idiocy to go around. Let's avoid denigrating whole states

Honduran "coup"

FP used to be a serious magazine, and I was an intern there myself back in the day.

But to make the comment above and not mention the fact that according to the Honduran constitution, in even proposing a referendum on changing the term limit clause Zelaya had already disqualified himself from holding the office of President? That's inexcusable. There's enough superficial commentary on this issue out there already. I expect more from FP.
