I loved his self-satisfied grin at the end - he really thought he did well. Kook is kind.

Personified?

He must have come up through Liberty University and all those RWNJ spawners.

“Appearance” of a conflict: well these assholes see all kinds of made up shit, like HRC being involved in a child sex ring and tRump being a Xtian!!

Florida State for BS/BA
William and Mary (VA) for JD

But then, Ted Cruz graduated from Harvard.

Schools can’t guarantee that all grads will be smart, reasonable, sane, and concerned about people other than themselves.

That bible-thumping and squeaky clean image that Republican freshman Rep. Matt Gaetz tries to portray is only a facade. He must be very conservative because his district in the panhandle of Florida is one of the most conservative in the country. Gaetz however, lives a much different life than that pristine image he maintains. On the inside, lies a gallery of red lights.



His record reveals at least seven arrests for drunk driving, murder suspicion and a reputed alternate gay life style. With help from his politically powerful father, none of these arrests ever made it to the newsroom.

Gaetz lives a far more reckless life than he presents to the religious right voter of his northern Florida district. In 2008, Gaetz was arrested for a DUI. The funny thing was that although he refused to take a breathalyzer test, he didn’t have his license suspended for a year, as Florida law dictates. When he was arrested, his father was a local politician, which might have had something to do with his record getting a squeaky clean treatment. To make things even more hilarious, Gatez’ charges were eventually dropped and the arresting officer was forced to resign.

He is an opportunist, a weasel and a pipsqueak. Every time I see his weaselly face on TV, I end up yelling at the TV. And yes, I saw that “interview” yesterday and fumed through all of it. It is pretty obvious he is angling for bigger and better things in Congress. At a Rose Garden event last May, he could clearly be seen trying to position himself closer to the top dogs, including tRump. I think he imagines himself doing Ryan’s job one day.
