McConnell’s primary challenger, Matt Bevin, asks McConnell whether he’s man enough to shutdown the government over Obamacare.
We’re used to the Beauty Queen resigning over amateur nude photos or some dabbling with porn. It’s almost a cliche and perhaps more frequent with the progressive Weinerization of American culture.
