Speaking at the 2010 Netroots Convention, then-little-known Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema disparaged the state she eventually represented in the House and now hopes to in the Senate.
And a camera recorded her every word.
Per Gateway Pundit:
“Indeed, As We See In This Very Quote, That States Are The Laboratories Of Democracy And Then My State, Arizona, Is Clearly The Meth Lab Of Democracy.”
KYRSTEN SINEMA: “Good morning, and I’m so glad Jefferson that you ended with that quote because I’m going to steal straight from what we’ve all seen on the Daily Show. If you’re not watching the Daily Show, I don’t know how you keep up with what’s happening in America today. But, Jon Stewart said this just a few weeks ago that, indeed, as we see in this very quote, that states are the laboratories of democracy and then my state, Arizona, is clearly the meth lab of democracy. And I cannot take credit for that line, someone at the Daily Show wrote it, but I’m happy to steal it and use it all the time.”
The RealClearPolitics average of polls gives Sinema a one-half percentage point lead over her Republican challenger, Representative Martha McSally – although the latest poll has McSally up six.
