From the Detroit Free Press: Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson apologized via Twitter late Friday after igniting a firestorm of criticism from both sides of the political aisle by calling fellow Republican and state Speaker of the House Jase Bolger “Adolf Bolger.”
Patterson, during a discussion on his opposition to proposed no-fault auto insurance reforms, went a step further during his appearance on WKAR public television’s “Off the Record” Friday morning, pulling a comb from his pocket and putting it over his lip like the Nazi leader’s infamous mustache.
“Adolf Bolger, he’s throwing his weight around … and embarrassing himself,” Patterson said. http://www.freep.com/article/20130503/NEWS05/305030054/Brooks-Patterson-Jase-Bolger-Hitler
Stupid incidents like this cost the Republicans from controlling the U.S. Senate this past election.
And if the GOP doesn't learn quickly how to behave in public, in 2014, the GOP will blow another chance to regain the Senate.
