McCrory Shows Some Courage While Soucek Shows His Ass

Dan Soucek

With his heart no doubt beating like a telephone book in a dryer, Gov. McCrory hid in his mansion while his minions delivered a written statement to reporters yesterday that the governor found it convenient to hide behind the skirts of his Secretary of Health and Human Services, Aldona Wos, who had already expressed concerns about the abortion bill to an NC House committee. "More study needed," said Wos. "Veto," suggested the governor.

Hoo boy!

This on the same day that Sen. Dan Soucek bragged to the Watauga Democrat: It was me, me, ME who introduced the anti-abortion amendment into the No Sharia Law bill. It was little me who poked a stick in the eye of every thinking woman in this state and caused an uproar that is far from dying down. It was little adorable me who cornered my own governor with no prior warning and caused a massive case of indigestion for House Speaker Thom Tillis. Ain't I a remarkable boy!?

For a man who's now bragging about putting this abortion law forward, he was certainly a no-show during what debate there was in the Senate. You can make up your own mind about the political brilliance of Dan Soucek, but someone needs to be prepping a campaign to run against him next year. Possibly a woman.
