Humble or Hungry?

(scroll down)
To highlight the farming industry, O’Malley ate lunch with local farmers and elected officials at the Walters Farm near Hughesville. The event celebrated the “Buy Local Challenge,” which was a week-long effort to encourage people to purchase produce and other food items from local farmers.
[...]

“I was thinking, how many governors have you ever heard of who would humble themselves to go into a barn and have lunch?” Cooper said. “That’s the kind of governor he is.”

  • 1. · I will wager anyone right now $100 that every single governor of MD has "humbled" himself by having dinner or lunch with a farmer or with a group of farmers, multiple times. This is one of the most ridciulous quotes I have ever heard, but by now we shouldn't be surprised what comes out of Cooper's mouth.I think this goes to how Cooper views both ordinary folks as well as people who hold office--he somehow thinks the latter are royalty and need not rub elbows with the common folk, and the elected official is doing them a favor by doing so. Or, he is so insecure and so in awe he places the higher elected official on an imaginary pedestal.
    Unbelievable!

  • 2. · Photo ops and press coverage - that's all these politicians want - it's all a game to them. And as far as being "humbled" by having lunch in a barn - what a crock!

    I guess that means that those of us that have livestock must be humbled several times a day when we go out to the barn to shovel s&*t!

  • 3. · This is really one of the more boneheaded comments I've heard in quite some time. Off the top of my head I can think of two recent Presidents of the United States who actually (gasp!) owned barns while governor of their respective states. I bet they "humbled" themselves every time they went home, both as governor and president.

    It's really an offensive attitude Cooper has--this notion that there is an enormous divide between the governor's mansion and the local community, and that the governor is being so incredibly benevolent in bridging that divide. This simultaneously places the governor higher than he deserves and the farming community far, far lower than it deserves. This is an ugly slap in the face of our local farmers. I hope it doesn't go unnoticed by them.

  • 4. · I am just as suprised that Whiney Wayne didn't compare the guv to Jesus Christ being born in a barn... Cooper should have his dentures glued shut... but then what fun would that be ??
