Arkansas Senator and man front and center of the not-fully-accurate-yet-still-condescending-U.S. Constitution-lecture-to-Iran letter - Tom Cotton - engaged in the following back-and-forth with Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer on CBS regarding the matter over the weekend:
Schieffer: "What do you want to happen here? What is your alternative here? Let's say that the deal falls through, then what?"
Cotton: "Well, as Prime Minister Netanyahu said, the alternative to a bad deal is a better deal. The Iranians frequently bluff to walk away from the table. If they bluff this week, call their bluff. The Congress stands ready to impose much more sever sanctions. Moreover we have to stand up to Iran's attempts to drive for regional dominance. They already control Tehran, increasingly they control Damascus and Beirut and Baghdad and now Sana'a as well. They do all that without a nuclear weapon. Imagine what they would do with a nuclear weapon."
Iran already controls Tehran, eh? Tehran is the capital city of Iran, slick. Based on this quote, I predict the Arkansas senator will utter the following statements at some point during his political career:
- "The longest flight I was ever on had to have been when I flew from Dublin to Ireland. I remember waking up, looking around, and asking everyone, 'Are we there yet?'"
- "The Red Lights District is in Hoover Dam, right?"
- "Where's China again? Next to Sweden and Cuba, those other communist countries, right?"
- "The worst experience I had in a foreign country had to have been when I went to Austria. Everyone was so rude to me when I kept saying things like, 'Good day, mate' and 'Where can I find Crocodile Dundee?'"
- "I think the coolest road trip I was ever on was back in college when my buddies and I drove all the way through Little Rock to get to Arkansas. Talk about crazy, right?!?"
Yeah, crazy, that's the first word that comes to mind here...
