Sean Duffy Pegs The Hypocrisy Meter

With a tip of the hat to Karoli at Crooks & Liars, check out this video of an interview Sean Duffy did on Faux News last month.   Pay close attention at about the 1:13 mark:



Did you catch that?

Duffy is saying that the only reason President Barack Obama won in 2008 was because "he was cool, he was hip, he could dance, he could sing."

That's pretty freaking ironic coming from a guy who's claim to fame is being a reality TV star and appearing in a pro-gay marriage video which he has since tried to disown.

But Duffy's claims that Obama's agenda has come up empty really pegs the needle on the hypocrisy meter.

Look at what Duffy has "accomplished" in his first and last term as a US Congressman.  He's told his constituents, many of whom have lost their jobs due to Republican agendas, that he simply can't make it on $174,000 a year.  Then, after he alienates his constituency with his elitism and white whine, takes part in the secrecy pact for the Republican's gerrymandering, just to try to protect the seat of which he is not worthy.  And lest we forget, he said that he would not vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act* until he found a replacement for it.  Yeah, he's still looking.

This fall, it's definitely time to give Duffy the opportunity to do the only thing he really wants to do and that is, to be perfectly honest, the only thing he is qualified to do - preen before a mirror telling himself how great he is, since no one else will.

*What part of affordable can't the Republicans understand?
