Given that it was Rohrabacher, we should have let them recruit him. To paraphrase Capt. Renault, in Casablanca, he could be a whole second front.
”He recalled in a 2013 interview with KPCC that in the early 1990s, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was then the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, beat him in a drunken armwrestling match.
Was that before or after the KGB filmed a blotto Rohrabacher with the bear, the tutu, and the handcuffs?
Kevin McCarthy didn’t tell a joke, Kevin McCarthy is a joke.

That’s slanderous. There’s no tutu or handcuffs in view.
But Dana is wearing a really spectacular fake 'stache.
In all seriousness, if John Goodman would want or feel the need to portray the guy for some higher purpose, this (Dana’s Story!) would be something that Tom Hanks sort of started with the Charlie Wilson movie.
Will side with John and Tom any day of the week.
OT: That reminds me of one thing I’ve been wondering should we unfortunately wind up with “President Ryan.” Who would become Speaker? McCarthy’s a dud and no one else looked like a promising candidate before Ryan “reluctantly” was thrust to the fore. The candidates only go downhill from Ryan. So Ryan might find himself hamstrung by the House’s dysfunction when they are unable to select his successor (or his successor is so inept as to be a liability).
If Putin and Russia want to recruit Rohrabacher we shouldlet them, asa long as they take him to Russia and get him out of the US. This guy is as bat-shit crazy as Trump and the Russians deserve him. I doubt with his ignorance he can do much damage to us, just confiscate all his land and property here as a penalty for being a traitor.
California dreaming?
Rohrabacher looks like a Mike Pence with a few more years of Russian expectations on him.
Jeez …can you find a more smug picture of him?
Amazing considering he’s one of those Orange County Republicans who can’t keep the name Reagan out of his mouth for more than 10 minutes.
That would be an acceptable trade from my perspective. Currently, the trouble is that Rohrabacher is so gung-ho about Russia, he tries to organize junkets to Russia for his fellow representatives, if memory serves. Perfect opportunity for some Russian Kompromat.
For the record, an unnamed official told the Times there was no evidence that Rohrabacher had been paid by Russia.He may not have been paid by Russia, but if they have something compromising on him, they may be getting his cooperation for free...
They may have leaked that one already. I’m pretty sure I saw it on Xhamster!
“Do they pay in rubles or real money?”
How many republican members are being paid by the Russians? Does this explain their refusal to investigate?
It’s about time this guy came up for air. How was your trip to Russia Dana? You need to be arrested on the spot for being a communist sympathizer, openly giving aid & comfort to a foreign power and known enemy, and for being a downright treasonous member of Congress.
RUN…
@phaz, my question EXACTLY! The Russians recruited a sitting Republican member of congress in 2012. How many more succeeded in being recruited by the Russians? Rohrabacher is smoke. Ryan telling a roomful of Republicans that Trumpp was being paid by Putin is more smoke. This entire Republican administration is implicated in secret dealings with the Russians, either directly or in collusion to enable those deals to continue sans investigation. There is far too much smoke from the Republican playbook for that book not to be on fire. That book now has a majority of US legislatures under Republican control. It is not too much of a stretch to infer that the entire Republican Party is colluding with Russia to undermine the security and the democratic foundation of the United States.
I read one account that said Putin beat Rohrabacher badly in that drunken arm wrestling episode. Wonder what highly classified info Rohrabacher let slip while the Russians plied him with vodka.

General Flynn. In the library. With the electric dil- er, the candlestick.
