Wow, pretty ironic that the obnoxious Peter King was first elected to Congress in 1992 — "The Year of the Woman." Because he certainly interrupted, dismissed and disparaged his Democratic opponent, Liuba Grechen Shirley, at Wednesday night's debate. A lot.
So on this, Hillary Clinton's 71st birthday, we wonder: Where on the "Rick Lazio Scale" did King's behavior fall? Just mildly disrespectful, or full-bore rude and crude?
As former Vermont Governor and DNC Chair Howard Dean has observed, if enough people see this despicable performance by King, Liuba Shirley wins. "This berating style that King has served him well for his long tenure but his time is up," Dean tweeted. "Trying to push women around is not a good look with Trump in the White House."
We're also wondering how Republicans like King can defend their long Washington tenures when in the early 1990s they campaigned vigorously on term limits. It is time for them to go. The King is dead — long live Liuba. We cats PURR.
