Sen. Cory Booker Explains His Training Regimen to Avoid Bathroom Breaks – Twitchy

As everyone knows by now, Sen. Corey Booker held a floor speech for a record 24 hours and 19 minutes. It wasn’t technically a filibuster because there was no legislation he was trying to stall. Most people ignored it; nobody stayed for the full 24 hours to hear Spartacus rant.

One reporter thought to ask Booker how he managed to go 24 hours without any bathroom breaks. Booker gave up his training regimen:

Sen. Booker, when asked if he had to use the bathroom at all during his 25-hour speech: “I really spent time dehydrating myself beforehand so I did not have to go to the bathroom… I think I stopped eating on Friday, and then to stop drinking the night before I started on… pic.twitter.com/vmdizd7Bv9

What a hero. “I really spent time dehydrating myself.”

What did he filibuster?

No one knows.

Liar. Dude wore a diaper. Get real.

Not to be clinical, but those Americans who were impressed with anything more than Booker’s urinary continence, have woven that impression out of whole cloth. On the other hand, Cory has indeed perfected the art of word salad.

For what? I fail to see the point of this whole thing…

For a pat on the back from the Democrats.

So remind me what he accomplished again?

How much adderal should be the real question

Not remotely possible. Depends or a catheter are the only options.

He’s a real dehydrated hero…

Is this really news ? Does anyone really care?

It’s telling that journalists are more interested in how he managed to go without peeing than they are with anything he said.
