The other day - actually April Fools Day, no less - Cory Booker broke the record for the longest continuous speech in modern Senate history on Tuesday, speaking for approximately 25 hours and five minutes. Senator Booker surpassed the previous record of 24 hours and 18 minutes held by Senator Strom Thurmond in 1957. Senator Strom Thurmond was speaking out AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1957, while Senator Booker was speaking out against Donald Trump's policies. The reality is, he said not one single thing that was 'quote worthy'. There was no singular item of significance in 25+ hours of mindless rambling. It was nothing but show business, but sounded more like blathering than anything else.
There was one fascinating thing worth mentioning, however...
The man didn't pee for 25 hours. "I don't want the Senate doctor to get mad at me. I don't want my doctor to get mad at me, but I really spent time dehydrating myself beforehand so I did not have to go to the bathroom," he said. "My strategy was to stop eating on Friday, and to stop drinking the night before, I started on Monday. That had its benefits and had its downsides." "Instead of fighting or figuring out how to go to the bathroom, I unfortunately really dehydrated myself. I'm a former athlete, so I know when you get dehydrated, you get a lot of cramps. That was the biggest thing I was fighting was different muscle groups really starting to cramp up. Every once in a while I would get a spasm, it was just a lot of physical challenges making it that long for a guy who...isn't in their 40s anymore."

Doesn't he have a sketchy past? Has he ever said anything worth listening to?
ReplyDeleteI would guess the only one listening to him for 25 hours would be the wall.
ReplyDeleteHowja like to be the poor bastard that has to transcribe THAT shit into the Congressional Record?
DeleteStrom Thurmond was a Democrat too, wasn't he??
With any luck he'll become too ill to continue in Congress.
