Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME): Today’s “Arrogant Ass” Award Winner

 
Sen. Collins is the senior senator from Maine. After graduating from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York in 1975, Collins has had her significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough. Over the next thirty-eight (38) years, Collins received a government paycheck.
 
On April 12, 2013, families of the children killed in the Newtown massacre were scheduled to meet with Susan over pending gun control legislation. At about the same time, President Obama had scheduled a dinner meeting with Susan.
 
The family members were 45 minutes late for the meeting with Susan, which caused her to be late for her dinner meeting with Obama.
 
When Arrogant Susan arrived for the dinner meeting she said,
 
  • “I was 45 minutes late for dinner with the president of the United States.”
  • “Everybody was seated when I got there, because I spend time talking to the parent and the family members of those who were killed at Newton.”
Put simply, Susan had the chutzpah to blame the families of the dead children for her being late for dinner with Obama. Kind of takes arrogance and omnipotence to a new level.
 
Seemingly, Susan is of the opinion that her bowl movement is without odor.
 
Congrats Susan; keep up the good work! We should let everyone know of your amazing record as one of America’s Premier “Arrogant Asses”; you are far too humble.
