in Montana Legislature, Those Wacky Republicans

I don’t mean to get all Freudian, but it certainly seems like Senator Corey Stapleton has an unusual way of expressing himself. Criticizing Mike Cooney and Sam Kitzenberg for taking jobs at the state, Stapleton offered this insight:

The top Republican in the state Senate said Monday that two pivotal Democrats have cast a “stain across the Senate” because they both took unadvertised jobs in state government.

“We’re not quite sure how we’re going to discharge that stain,” said Sen. Corey Stapleton, R-Billings, newly elected Senate minority leader.

I feel a little dirty now.

You’ve got a unique way of writing which I don’t frequently run into. Just thought I’d let you know :)
