I can think of a few reasons for such a comment, regardless of any truth of any fact or piece of your statement Rep. Eastman: 1) ingestion of an intoxicating and/or state of mind altering substance within a period of time that left you incapacitated at the moment, 2) a lack of sufficient sleep within a similar period of time, again leaving you incapacitated at the moment, or 3) placing the mouth "in gear" without having "the hands of your mind" properly positioned on the steering mechanism, your tongue. Your position as a public figure, elected representative and adult find you in a position that necessitates you should: 1) re-examine the divisive tone of your statement regardless of any truth, 2) just stand and up "eat a little crow" and apologize for arguing the specific in regards to public legislation, and 3) "be" a leader and demonstrate the leadership skills of humility and repentance by explaining how you will in the future reduce the conflict that is adversely affecting Alaska.
