Rep. Jared Polis refers to Sen. Tom Cotton, decorated Army veteran, as 'Tehran Tom'
2015-03-11
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Democratic Colorado Rep. Jared Polis took shots at Republican Sen. Tom Cotton on Twitter Tuesday, labeling the Iraq War veteran as "Tehran Tom" for his role in a letter sent to Iran.

"Tehran Tom took his case directly to the Iranian government," Mr. Polistweeted to his nearly 32,000 followers.

He was referring to a letter -- signed by Mr. Cotton and 46 of his Republican colleagues -- to Iran's government regarding nuclear negotiations between the two nations, the Washington Examiner reported.

"Tehran Tom asks Iranian Revolutionary Guards for help in battle against US diplomats," Mr. Polisadded, receiving 53 retweets.

The letter warned Tehran that any nuclear deal needs congressional approval in order to last beyond President B.O.'s time in office. Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

 strongly denounced the missive as offensive and "beneath the dignity of an institution I revere."

Mr. Cotton responded by saying Mr. Biden "has been wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision in the last 40 years," the Examiner reported.

Meanwhile,

 the front page of the New York Daily News labeled the 47 Senate Republicans as "traitors" in Tuesday's edition.

#4  Polis is an especially disgusting piece of shit. Only reason scum like him stay in Congress is that he's in a gerrymandered district, and its anchored by The People's Republic of Boulder. Packed with Libtards.

#3  Ambrose Bierce defined a politician as:
An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is reared. When we wriggles [sic] he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.

#2  DEMOCRAT Rep Polis isn't fit to lick Senator Cotton's boots. An apology is in order and EVERY Democrat should be forced to answer whether they agree with him or will censure this puke, just like the media does to Republicans

#1  when the libs start name calling instead of debating or even trying to put up "facts" to back their side of the discussion, you know that you are on to something.

Is this going to be a "You have to approve it to read it kind of thing?"

I bet the torches and pitchforks would be out in a heart beat if people knew what was in that Iran "deal"
