It seems Senator Tom Cotton (R) – AR is an even bigger idiot than we thought. As if he and his dopey pals contacting Iranian leaders and talking to them like they’re fools wasn’t enough, his explanation of why Iran must be stopped takes the cake. As Alan Colmes reports at Liberaland:
During an interview on CBS, the host of Face of the Nation, Bob Schieffer, discussed the fallout from the letter authored by Cotton/the Israel Lobby and signed by 46 other Republican Senators. In particular, Schieffer focused on whether they undermined Obama’s ability to get a nuclear deal with Iran.
Schieffer asked Cotton “Let’s say the deal falls through, then what?”
Cotton responded by quoting Bibi Netanyahu, insisting that “The alternative to a bad deal is a better deal” and that “The Iranians frequently bluff to walk away from the table. If they bluff this week, call their bluff. Congress stands ready to impose much more severe sanctions.”
He added that it was important to stand up to Iran’s “drive for regional dominance.” And just to press how serious the matter is, Cotton said that “They already control Tehran…”
Now consider this: Cotton is on the Intelligence Committee, and the Armed Services Committee, and doesn’t know Tehran is the capitol of Iran. I wonder if he cc’d our embassy in Iran like Michele Bachmann would have done.
In addition, Cotton thought it necessary to send translated copies of his traitorous letter to Iranian officials; including Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif, who earned his college degrees at San Francisco State University and the University of Denver.
Are Conservatives even capable of embarrassment? The Tea Party is calling his stupidity a “triumph“, Arkansas Republicans are already talking about changing the law so he can run for President and Senator at the same time, and Idiot Supreme Bobby Jindal thinks Vice President Biden owes Cotton an apology.
How much humiliation will Americans put up with before they finally send the hillbillies packing? Tom Cotton as President… I’m still laughing.
