Obviously, he needs surgery owing to his putting his foot in his mouth so often. Well that was a cheap one liner.
Also this.
Puerto Rico? Yeah, they’re in a bind, but what does this have to do with the ACA?
I guess there are no good hospitals in DC.
Good thing he has a health care plan.
Heaven forbid he have the surgery while Congress was away from Washington for a couple of weeks.
No, it’s a note from his mother to excuse him from Congress. The dog tried to eat his foot.
Having Chaffetz out of DC while Congress is in session is a good thing.
Note that since he is the chair of the House Oversight Committee that they can’t do any investigating of Russia while he’s out.
Huh. Seems like he just really really really doesn’t want to be in that office, and in a big hurry too. Sure is hard to resist speculating that he Knows Something. But as for what…
You beat me to it.
Good point. At that time the matter (heat) wasn’t pressing. Wonder if/when we will ever learn, beyond speculation, the nature of the heat. I don’t think it is the foot.
And,he needs to start prepping the field to run for Governor. Any bets on whether or not he comes back?
You could look at it this way: With him out of DC there won’t be any oversights in Congress.
Though mostly the House committee is only interested in investigating Susan Rice anyway, at least from the R side. Short of a special prosecutor it seems like only the Senate investigation has an interest in actually finding something.
Does this mean if the Affordable Care Act is repealed and replaced with TRUMP/RYAN/ MEADOWS CARE that Chaffetz will be covered for his pre-existing condition ( NO SPINE ) ?
If someone who worked for me, with a desk job, told me they were going to be out for weeks for FOOT surgery there would be hell to pay.
It was either continue being in the very bright spotlight or take a hammer to his foot. The things people do.
What took so long?
For a guy who inserts his foot in his mouth so much, you’d thought he’d need foot replacement surgery long ago!
Hardy, har-har!
Rats, you beat me to it. Foot in mouth. Apparently he bites down too hard.
Yes it was.
