Rehberg: Experiencing Verbal Diarrhea
According to an article in The Missoulian, Rehberg, while at a Lincoln-Reagan function, had this to say in regards to why he thought there has been more turnout to those kind of functions this year,
“I’m not sure if it’s because this is the first pure, open presidential election since the ’50s, with no sitting vice president or president running; or if it’s because there’s an anti-Schweitzer sentiment going around,” said Rehberg, referencing Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. “It could be the fact that we held our caucuses early this year, which got people mobilized earlier than usual in the state.
“But whatever the case,” he added, “I think it’s a good indication that Montanans are ready for some change.”
First, let’s just ignore the Schweitzer comment, which was solely based on Fox News-like analysis: empty, yet purposely suggestive. Instead, let’s just move onto the “change” comment. I seem to remember Rehberg saying, “change isn’t always a good thing.” Now, Rehberg is right: change isn’t always a good thing, but it’s ironic that Rehberg is attacking the Democratic Party’s rhetoric one moment and then using it himself the next. Couldn’t “change” imply replacing Rehberg?
I just don’t understand how this man’s brain works, honestly. I think he’s just gotten a free ride for so long that he doesn’t care about what he says, anymore. He’s experiencing a severe case of verbal diarrhea.
