‘Absolutely surreal’: Rep. Elijah Cummings statement about ‘Bridgegate’ bereft of self-awareness

Posted at 6:53 pm on January 8, 2014 by Doug P.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) suddenly had a “Bridgegate” induced requirement for a thorough vetting of a possible presidential candidate:

Rep Elijah Cummings to CNN "astounding" what happened…we gotta know "what kind of guy is probably going to run for president" #bridgegate

Ha! Not only is the part about vetting funny, but Cummings’ selective outrage is a thing to behold.

@vplus Lies about keeping your doctor: meh. IRS targeting his political enemies: meh. Using DOJ on reporters: meh. Stopped traffic: OUTRAGE!

Christie messed with traffic. Obama trafficked guns to Mexican druglords.

@vplus He might start by getting honest about "what kind of guy IS the president".

@redsteeze I'm pretty much a convert to notion the universe isn't real & we're part of someone's bad dream. Like a Philip K. Dick novel.

@FNTheFive Rep. Elijah Cummings is on CNN The Situation Room expressing outrage over this Christie bridge crap; wasn't over IRS, Benghazi
