Democrat congressman resigns after making “thoughtless remarks” about Palin’s death

WASHINGTON - Timothy Horrigan, a New Hampshire Democrat who joked on Fecebook on Wednesday about the death of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin saying “a dead Palin would be even more dangerous than a live one,” resigned from the state’s House of Representatives and ended his campaign for re-election.

He also apologized for his “thoughtless remarks” and bringing “this House into disrepute.”

According to Politico, in a letter to Speaker Terie Norelli, Horrigan wrote, “I apologize for thoughtless remarks I made which have brought this House into disrepute.”

Earlier, he scribbled on his Facebook page speculating Palin’s death.

“I don’t wish Sarah Palin dead … but not merely for compassionate reasons. I also want her to live because a living Sarah Palin is less dangerous than a dead one. A dead Palin is more dangerous than a live one,” he wrote.

Horrigan wrote before resigning that he considers Palin a good person and she certainly deserves to live a long and happy life. (ANI)
