A sitting U.S. senator's official postmortem on losing Congress is now about bathroom hygiene. On the Senate floor Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said, "A smart man washes his hands after he urinates. A wise man doesn't urinate on his hands. We need to stop urinating on our hands," HuffPost reports, then repeated the line that night on Fox News' Hannity.
"This was not a normal midterm election loss. If you think that, congratulations, you're stupid," Kennedy told Hannity, who had argued days earlier that the losses were normal, according to the Daily Beast and Mediaite. Kennedy wants Republicans to use their remaining 50-plus days to pass a reconciliation bill, ban congressional stock trading and more, and says he'd stay through Thanksgiving and Christmas to do it — but leadership hasn't given him permission yet.
