Lautenberg discipline

It's bad enough that Sen. Frank Lautenberg thinks it's "disrespectful" for Cory Booker to contemplate contesting his Senate seat, but the way Lautenberg expressed that particular sentiment is even worse:

"I have four children, I love each one of them. I can't tell you that one of them wasn't occasionally disrespectful, so I gave them a spanking and everything was OK," Lautenberg said with a smile in his first public comments since Booker announced he was considering a run for Senate.

The primary is not till June 2014, but I say it's already game-over. By the way, the Secaucus transfer station should never have been named after a politician still in office.
