Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C) really screwed up in some recent comments that he made. He is making himself more and more vulnerable with each passing day.
Here is what he told a group of NC business leaders earlier this week, as reported by The Hendersonville Times-News:
“On Friday night, I called my wife and I said, ‘Brooke, I am not coming home this weekend. I will call you on Monday. Tonight, I want you to go to the ATM machine, and I want you to draw out everything it will let you take. And I want you to tomorrow, and I want you to go Sunday.’ I was convinced on Friday night that if you put a plastic card in an ATM machine the last thing you were going to get was cash.” Burr added, “I think it is safe to say the economy has not rebounded. If anything, we have gone deeper into what economists call ‘recession.’ I would tell you it’s not a recession. I would define this as a depression.”

Advocating runs on the banks is a really idiotic thing to do, and I am really looking forward to getting a new Senator in 2010. I really hope that Roy Cooper will run for Senate!
What do you all think of these comments and will this impact Sen. Burr’s future at all?
That’s really not a snark? I forsee the ads running against Burr in 2010:
MSNBC was hounding on this tonight, so at least its getting some play. It is slightly frightening that a member of the Senate would recommend this.
