Great Moments In Douchebaggery -

Look at them shuffle and sneer, hem and haw! Watch as they willingly eat their own souls with an ice pick and some turpentine, then step up to the media microphones and try to sound ennobled and magnanimous when in fact they only make everyone within earshot feel lost and fatalistic. So cute. …

Let’s go ahead and step right onto one of those large, rusty nails sticking up from the senate floor, so painful as to make your stomach turn, a bit of your lunch jump back into your throat.

It’s a story from the dark political underbelly that makes you question the entire setup, rethink humanity, and lean out your window and scream: what the hell is wrong with these people? Who are they, really? Why do we give them power? …

…try to figure out where to slot such wretched information, how to make even the slightest sense of it.

And then you discover a horrible truth: you can’t. Turns out, when faced with such vileness, all filters fail. All balance is thrown off. You thought you had some sort of way to process and attain perspective? You are proven wrong.

So perhaps all we can do is ponder how pathetic and sad these various senator’s lives must be, how these bitter old men will now go home at night and announce around the dinner table that, yes, today they worked very hard to help improve the welfare of the nation by essentially enabling rape and sexual abuse, tried their darndest to prevent women who’ve been viciously attacked from having much legal recourse. And lo, Satan will chuckle happily.

Then maybe these senators will try and hug their wives, or their daughters. And maybe, if there’s any justice in the universe, their wives and daughters will slap them as hard as humanly possible, lock them in a shipping container, and never let them touch them again.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Other than they are clearly the product of repeated matings of first cousins going back several generations, babies who were ceremonially dropped on their head as a form of blessing, and then programmed by their religio-political institutions to believe that Raping a woman who pursues a mans job is okay, because the bitch gets what she deserves.

Didn’t you all get that memo? Because this is the same penile song and dance we got during tailhook, after the fact, and when female vets complained about rape stats in the military for the last 40 years.

Its nothing new. Its just irrefutably out there now, thanks to the internet. 15 yrs ago, or more, and this case would have faded quickly, assuming that is, that anyone other than MS magazine would have covered it at all.
