What is the toughest thing for Rodney Glassman to do?

Rodney Glassman and Karin Uhlich on Arizona Illustrated
The year is 2007 and Rodney Glassman is running for a seat on the Tucson Council for Ward 2, the ward that neighbors the upper-class Catalina Foothills.
Glassman was at a fundraiser at the Westin La Paloma and was asked “What will be the toughest thing for you to do as a Tucson city councilmember?”
Glassman responded “The toughest thing for me to do will be to sit next to an openly gay councilmember.”
Karin Uhlich is a current Tucson councilmember who was just re-elected for her second term and is the openly gay person that sat next to Rodney Glassman until he resigned to run for US Senate.
Uhlich is aware of these statements and said that she had a “heart-to-heart with Rodney.”
“He knows how strongly I feel about these issues,” Uhlich said. When asked how she felt about the comment Glassman made, Uhlich responded that while they resolved their conflict so that city business could be taken care of, she also added that perhaps there should be a “higher standard for candidates.”

Another press release from the Parraz Campaign HQ. Guess what, we already know how much of an idiot Glassman is. I was in a meeting with him a while ago and I can confirm this.
Maybe if you could be a little more objective it could be believable.
Hope we have poll watchers to make sure that the illegals dont slip in and vote.

With Democrats like Glassman, who needs Republicans?
