Minnesota’s gubenatorial race has been Mike Hatch’s to lose for the past several weeks after he charged ahead of Governor Pawlenty in recent polls. Mike’s thin skin has just jeopardized this lead.
When Hatch’s running mate Judy Dutcher muffed a question about the mysterious sounding term E-85 a special blend of ethanol of great interest to Minnesota’s farmers Hatch snapped at reporters who were dogging his running mate for her ignorance of the subject.
Hatch called one of the reporters asking him about the gaffe “a Republican whore.” Today that’s Reporter’s newspaper has turned the story into a front page story. Its suggestion that Hatch’s temperment might make him an unpleasant Governor could help snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Temper Temper!
Mike Hatch behaves the way he does because no one has ever punched him in the mouth (actually, it might take several such instances to have an impact. LOL).
I’m not saying he SHOULD get punched in the mouth. I’m saying he — and others who behave like him — should act as if it were a distinct possibility. Then such folks might behave a bit more civilly and watch their tongues a bit better.
Perhaps cave men were more civil than we are. The ones that got too pushy might have gotten a rock in the head.
