Susan Collins basically says her "health condition" didn't stop her from confirming Boof Boy, so f*ck you and f*ck off

“What I have is an extremely common condition that is called a benign essential tremor,” Collins told News Center Maine. “I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate. It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each day.”

She also stressed that she is confident in her ability to continue doing her job and serve another six years in the Senate if re-elected in November. She was first elected to the Senate in 1997, and is Maine’s longest-serving member of Congress.

“If you talk to anybody in Washington, they will tell you that I am the hardest-working person that they have ever worked with, and the fact is I’ve never missed a single vote in all the time that I’ve been honored to represent the people of Maine,” Collins told the outlet.

”I think that’s pretty good evidence of the fact that I am blessed with great health,” she added, noting that her condition is “inconvenient at times, but that’s all.”

You chose the wrong path, despite your constant "concern," Susan.

Sometimes it seems like she's pontificating from another planet, but I'm pretty confident she's aware of her reputation (how many HUNDREDS of "concern" jokes have been here on DU? I'm probably responsible for a hundred of them myself)...

...and any time someone says "YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY ABOUT ME," it's a confession and a challenge rolled into one. I'd say that if you asked "anybody in Washington" about here, there would be some high-fives for backing Trump, and some groans not dissimilar to what we say about her right here.

Americans deserve better than your phony concern and lack of a spine.

It's not noticeable unless I'm trying to do something delicate with my hands. The world should be happy that I didn't become a surgeon. It's hereditary, and I inherited it from my father.

Susan Collins is an idiot.
