TJ McCormack is extremely excited and excitable as always with his preposterous -- law dot com.
-- -- Good to see TJ I get that -- of course is Sunday night defeated with whom I don't know I told radio I'm also.
After a long absence we are delighted to have backs -- -- our full national policy and arrows show the Hispanic.
Bar association great to see you -- really -- -- been taken care of my parents have been 60 I'm sorry I won't -- -- it's lovely to have you back and we are delighted to.
CU and out what week to be back common I guess one of the big stories of the day overall like I'm down right now of course.
To that deadline.
Fall representative -- eight -- to get out.
-- the senate race in Missouri and allow the Republicans to put somebody day in his stead.
Pretty much the entire Republican establishment.
Has called on him to do exactly that of course to get out of this race because of his comments over the weekend -- -- abortion.
It a real gift.
To the Democrats don't that is indeed it is I mean it it's if I'm at a loss for words in terms of what to say about it because you -- the jokes write themselves sends me.
It's it's really just unfortunate I think it's again for the Democrats I think it will -- alliance.
The party and bam they should take advantage from.
And and and TJ -- that's an important seat.
I mean every senate seat is important he was hit a double digit lead over Clement -- mud that was it was looking like a pretty safe for -- and I -- now.
He -- yeah I mean why are his colleagues were ridiculously offensive -- -- these for the Republicans that are real tough spot here.
You know want to actually do that given I am an expert in Missouri politics he.
That notwithstanding he knows zero about Missouri politics but what I have heard is that you know actually -- -- -- McCaskill want to McCaskill.
Was probably not doing well against any generic Republican candidate because she attacks issues you a few other issues.
-- -- social issues and enter right of center stage and it.
I wondered that this is not actually a boon for Republicans who hate the we have come out looking good.
In terms of a dvd in the U and I -- I don't know that I can hear him.
Yeah me neither opponent tomorrow don't you think and and and for once in a long -- -- -- Romney was well I communicated he came came out his his -- now whoever for the moment.
-- but so maybe maybe we throw a stick in the spokes and McCaskill may be asked to run against -- Ashcroft or somewhere else like that's all right well.
-- chemicals act would -- Abbott today he said he is not getting at that he's -- putting these -- on the airwaves in Missouri today here's a clip of it take a look.
The mistake and made was in the words I said not in the heart I hold.
I ask for your forgiveness.
He also forgiveness enough common.
No it's not enough and I think that the way that at his word it is so -- it so pour.
You know right basically what he seems to be implying is you know from my heart I still believe what I said that's not making a -- and it says that's a snake in no way.
-- yet he went to this ridiculous stupid stuff of that about -- would during her rape a woman's body shuts down and fight company and then I mean.
-- their kids -- think there -- yeah exactly so -- this and he's just done he's -- its offensive on every level I you know I take issue -- I take issue -- with everybody -- -- that people from the New York Times right -- through.
Who are saying that all of this outrage on the part of Republicans is faux outrage and it's really all just about.
You know political expediency there are people on the right who were truly legitimately offended by yeah.
I mean I I think it's obviously it's politically awkward for the Republicans backed I think there's a lot of genuine and not outrage of what he said on the Republican -- well yeah I think he -- ridiculous saying this is purely about politics haven't wouldn't use that.
I mean yeah everybody -- average this -- top find anybody who's.
We'll see if I mean it egg then it's like I'm I'm at a loss for what I thought you know we have left the -- potentially twelve -- behind him right now we -- -- -- still with people.
Money for our -- in positions of power and info as -- think -- you know.
People who are stuck in the tenth century and it's it's you know I think you should do his party favorite he should quit.
Lisa asked him because his money is on Friday actors needs -- just say it's a question to veto -- and so he has my -- says TJ it's a very telling response by the GOP idea was he approves of what they did as he was saying.
The unity and it however I said -- remember the immediate cries from the DNC for representative Weiner to negate his office while they didn't have strange how unusual that's already highly expect comparison is that this was someone.
I -- sending a picture of -- as we -- somebody.
-- is one thing.
Talking about it right in the sense that demonstrate can -- is -- And -- it but again though I think I think the parallel you can make is that the double standard and and the standards that the damage that the less we'll set for themselves.
You know Democrat look man let.
Look Chappaquiddick happened and that man Teddy Kennedy was allowed to who has not only.
They're allowed to stay around but given a fabulous nicknamed him the moniker the lion of the senate for the woman got -- you know I had I have regular debates online lately with leftists who who say you know look apologized and then.
And as long as they use of support certain legislation always forget Joseph Biden gets -- we had to discuss all right -- -- okay.
I got it.
Don't hold on that because the.
