Today Republicans are worse, tomorrow Obama will be talking like them, to boost his own poll numbers.

I believe any politician who threatens someone like this, who of course isn't threatening his life or some other extreme situation, should immediately be removed from office and denied the ability to run and reenter the political arena.

I believe that politicians need to be held at a higher standard than the average citizen. I know in our current system, it's actually the opposite and most politicians are thieves and traitors, but if it was to operate as I believe, this would be the case...

"You're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half, like a boy"

He missed his calling. He should have been a cop.

I wonder how selective the state will be in their prosecution of "terrorist threats" in this case.

"Rep. Grimm apologizes to NY1 reporter Michael Scotto, schedules lunch to pay penance. Michael Grimm told Scotto he 'overreacted' when he threatened him with physical violence after an interview Tuesday night. Scotto said he accepted the apology and believes it was sincere."

OK, but the episode has drawn attention to a long series of stories leading up to it: "Grimm Is a Hothead With a Shady Past."

Also, I can't help wondering about the comment where he says he'll "break you in half, like a boy." How many boys has he broken in half? It reminds me of Jerry Sandusky, and Dan's observation that half the Republican party consists of closet cases and their scared wives.

Just a little too much testosterone underarm roll on. It will clear up.

Unfortunately, his wife thought it was deodorant and grew a mustache.

He's a little miffed, give him time.
