Joe Hundley, Idaho Man Who Slapped Toddler on Plane Sentenced to 8 Months in Prison

Snake on a Plane …

Joe Hundley, the Idaho man who plead guilty to slapping a crying toddler aboard a Delta flight last February, has been sentenced to 8 months in federal prison. Hundley also used a racial slur toward the mother of the 19 month old boy when he began to cry saying, “shut that ni**er baby up.” Hundley’s lawyer claimed that Hundley was under distress while heading to Atlanta to decide whether or not to take his son, who was in a coma due to an insulin overdose, off of life support. Hundley’s son died the day after the flight. However, even though Hundley took a plea deal and prosecutors recommended six months in prison, the judge imposed a higher sentence in part because of Hundley’s criminal history, which includes a prior assault.

Joe Hundley, an Idaho man who pleaded guilty to slapping a crying toddler on an Atlanta-bound flight, was sentenced to eight months in federal prison Monday.

Hundley pleaded guilty in October after reaching a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Hundley also used a racial slur to refer to the 19-month-old boy, who’s black, and hit him under the eye as the flight from Minneapolis descended to the Atlanta airport last February.

Senator Rand Paul (KY-R) Has His Own Obamacare Debacle … Exchange Enrolled His Son Automatically in Medicaid

WHAT A JOKE … EVEN US SENATORS CANNOT PROPERLY ENROLL ONTO OBAMACARE …

Senator Rand Paul discussed this past Sunday on ABC’s ‘This Week’ that even he had trouble signing up his family for Obamacare on the Kentucky state health exchange. So what happened when Paul attempted to sign his family up for Obamacare … why his son was immediately enrolled into Medicaid. Hmm, as Weasel Zippers opinies, “I’m pretty sure his son doesn’t qualify for Medicaid”. I think they would be correct. Can you imagine how many people have been incorrectly enrolled in a Medicaid plan? ,Or individuals that had a private healthcare plan and now have a Medicaid one?

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he’s had trouble signing up his own family through the Kentucky state health exchange.

“I tried to get my son signed up through the Kentucky exchange, you know, the one Democrats have said is so good, and I have here my son’s Medicaid card. We didn’t try to get him Medicaid,” Paul said.

Kentucky is the only state that voted for Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2012 election that created its own health exchange, and Democrats have repeatedly touted its effectiveness.

“I’m trying to pay for his insurance, but they automatically enrolled him in Medicaid. For a month they wouldn’t talk to us because they weren’t sure he existed. He had to go down to the welfare office, prove his existence, then the next thing we know we get a Medicaid card,” Paul said.

NBC’s Chuck Todd Says the Obama White House Would Rather Talk About Anything Other Than Obamacare

Barack Obama wants 2014 to be a year of action but in all the things referenced on the agenda, there was never any mention about Obamacare. On NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ over the weekend, Chuck Todd said that the Obama administration would rather talk about anything other than healthcare. Ya think? As RCP average polling shows, public approval for Obamacare is 37.8% for and 53% against or a -15.2%. Some polls like the CNN poll show only 35% approve and an astounding 62% are against the presidents signature piece of legislation.

If Todd thinks the White House does not want to talk about Obamacare, you could imagine how little the Democrat politicians up for reelection in 2014 who supported and voted for it want to discuss it.

Liz Cheney Dropping Out of GOP Senate Bid in Wyoming Against Enzi Citing Family Health Issues

Liz Cheney, the daughter of former vice-president Dick Cheney, is dropping out of her Republican Senate bid for Wyoming. Cheny cited family health issues as to the reason why she was discontinuing her run for Senate and her GOP primary challenge to current US Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY).  According to a statement released by Liz Cheney via Politico, “Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign.”

With Liz Cheney halting her primary challenge, this will all but ensure that 69 year old Mike Enzi will win a fourth term in 2014. Wyoming has been a safe GOP state for years, there is no reason to turn a safe state into a civil war and provide Democrats any ammunition to use it as a proxy vote for gay marriage.

Liz Cheney, whose upstart bid to unseat Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi sparked a round of warfare in the Republican Party and even within her own family, is dropping out of the Senate primary, she said in a prepared statement Monday morning.

“Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign,” she said.

Phil and I want to thank the thousands of people in Wyoming and all across the country who have supported my campaign. As a mother and a patriot, I know that the work of defending freedom and protecting liberty must continue for each generation. Though this campaign stops today, my commitment to keep fighting with you and your families for the fundamental values that have made this nation and Wyoming great will never stop.”

More analysis at Hot Air where they discuss that maybe her dropping out is best but ponder what the medial issue could be.

Perhaps it’s just as well. This campaign always seemed a bit ill-considered. Enzi didn’t have a particularly RINO-ish reputation until Cheney decided to go after him; the American Conservative Union (which hosts CPAC in March) rated Enzi at 92.73% for 2012, 89% in 2011, and 96% in 2010. On top of that, questions immediately arose as to Cheney’s connection to Wyoming, where she had lived sparingly at best for the last several years.  The sudden exit makes the decision to challenge Enzi even more questionable.
