A Vermont lawmaker was compelled to apologize publicly after being caught on video pouring water into her colleague’s work bag multiple times across several months.
The bizarre behavior is allegedly a part of a campaign of harassment that one legislator aimed at another who represents the same district in the Green Mountain state, independent outlet Seven Days first reported.
The Republican representative, Mary Morrissey, 67, confessed to dumping water in the bag of the Democratic legislator Jim Carroll, 62. She later apologized during a Vermont state house session on Monday, Boston.com reported.
“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.
Morrissey did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.
You’re a Republian, lady. You’re not supposed to say you’re ashamed. They’re going to kick you to the curb now.
That was after she tried to claim she ‘flicked’ water on his bag because a bug was on it. She tried lying, no one bought it.
Did she learn nothing from Trump? You just keep repeating the lie until people get tired of correcting it.
America elects some of the wierdest politicians.
Australian politicians sniff the chairs of their female colleagues, and eat raw onions like apples. All politicians are just disguised reptilian barely holding it together.
Holy god
I once witnessed a competition which involved people trying to eat an onion raw, like an apple, and it was unreal the level of pain and unhappiness they were all clearly experiencing.
Shit, where’s this competition?
Do they provide the onions, or do I need to use one from my belt?
It was a contest of bravery to eat a whole lot of random disgusting or unpleasant things, and a lot of people started but by the time it got down to the onion round it was only 3 people. Before that it had been pretty quick and lighthearted, but when it got to be onion time everything just ground to a halt. These three men were just on stage sitting in their chairs with their half eaten onions, tears streaming freely down their faces, making raw vocalizations of misery or cursing or laughing or just sitting unhappily. Every so often, one of them would take another bite, and start forcing themselves to chew.
About a third of the way through the onion, one man threw the rest of his forcefully into the trash and walked off stage, shaking his head, not saying a word. The other two powered through to the next round.
I was pretty drunk and it was, yes, quite a long time ago, probably before most of Lemmy was born. I don’t remember much of the rest of it, but the marathon of agony that was the onion round was so unexpectedly vivid and serious that it seared itself into my memory.
Nah, if you were ashamed of the shit you wouldn’t have done the shit. What you are is embarrassed to have been caught.
embarrassed to have been caught.
Exactly.
They’re always so very sorry after they get caught.
If you are only ashamed of your actions after you were caught, you are not ashamed of your actions. Grade A trashy behaviour that has no place in the world.
And especially no place in the halls of governance.
As for whether he forgives Morrissey, Carroll said: “I guess I would have to say yes in the spirit of forgiveness, reluctantly. But if I had to be a smartass, I’d say her apology holds about as much water as my canvas bag.”
Fantastic.
I’m glad he had to be a smartass. Because Morrissey was certainly being a dumbass.
