Sen. Kelly Ayotte Feels The Burn

New Hampshire freshman Rethuglican Sen. Kelly "Deer in the Headlights" Ayotte -- the junior third leg of the Grampypants McCain and Huckleberry Closetcase Graham stool (yes, in both senses of the word) -- had a town hall meeting in Warren, NH, the other day and got first hand evidence of her tanking popularity, thanks to her cowardly vote against the gun background check legislation.  And in the process, a new Hackwhackers hero was born:
At the town hall in Warren on Tuesday, the format of pre-selected question topics angered Eric Knuffke, 74, who stood up and asked to be heard after raising his hand failed to get him recognized.

The senator resisted. “I do every town hall meeting this way and have a process,” [Sen. Kelly] Ayotte told him.

“You like to regulate [the questions you take], but you don’t want to regulate guns?” he shouted. The room burst into applause.
 If we're ever in Warren, we'd like to buy Mr. Knuffke a drink.
