Okay, now, I've tried hard not to simply post every gross thing some politicians say

[conuly]

Likewise for every inane, stupid, awful, wtf, bad, lying thing some of them say. It's tiring enough to just read their garbage without amplifying all their shit, and I think we know that if I did nothing in my life but tell you which pol from which party* said which "never vote for me, I'm not fit to participate in human society" today I would never finish.

But I think this one might actually take the cake. I nearly vomited there. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew! AND illogical, AND utterly lacking in compassion AND super gross. EW.



* Let's just pretend that one party isn't knocking it out of the park right now with the grossness.

I in my turn, question why Steve King still has a job. What does it take for Congress to finally admit that he's a revolting waste of human skin who is unfit to be seated?

What the victims of today’s American “education” don’t realize is that this is nothing new.  “Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself,” Mark Twain wrote.

What’s new is the “soundbite” and the technology behind it, which bypasses the sensibilities of newspaper editors who prevented such remarks from reaching the public verbatim.  Now, every microphone is live, and the results are cast broadly indeed.
