Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Wednesday that she had “little interest in what she has to say,” when asked about former Obama administration National Security Adviser Susan Rice floating a Democratic candidacy for Senate in Maine.
“I really have little interest in what she has to say,” Collins told CNN Wednesday, asked about Rice. “She’s not a legal resident of the state of Maine.” Collins added: “She’d have to move to the state to become a legal resident.”
Rice responded “Me” when former Obama administration official Jen Psaki asked on Twitter Friday: “who wants to run for Senate in Maine?” The question came after Collins said she would vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. (Rice later noted she was “not making any announcements.”)
On CNN Sunday, Collins granted that Rice’s “family has a home in Maine,” but asserted that Rice doesn’t live there.
Rice said at The New Yorker Festival Sunday: “For the last twenty-so years, I’ve been a homeowner in the state of Maine. So it’s not completely crazy. But, you know, we have to see.”
Well, you’re consistent, Suzy, you don’t give a shit about what your constituents have to say either.
You will soon, Collins, you will soon.
So is this what they mean by “Likely White on Rice”?
Gee, Susan, I have so little interest in what you have to say.
Probably no interest to you that Crowdpac funding for your opponent is now $3,680,000+. But, I know, you weren’t taking bribes so that was no interest either.
“Look,” she said, "I’m old. I don’t care. My head is so far up Mitch McConnell’s ass that I can smell Elaine’s perfume at night. My husband, Tom, hasn’t yet been indicted for his “business” dealings. I’m going to get $174K every year come rain, come shine. My view is ‘I don’t care because I don’t have to.’
“Besides,” she added, “Remember when I said I would only serve two terms? That was in 1996. That means I would’ve been gone in 2009. But here I am, and with two years to go! I’m here to do some people’s business until January 2021. If the people of Maine don’t like it, they can vote me out.”
And that, friends, is how the Belle of the Bald became known as the Girl Friday of the Guardians Of Predators.
