    What still gets to me is Gingrich leading with the goddamned trumpet against this… unconscionable marital betrayer from the Democratic Party… then gets his multiple affairs and betrayals exposed. So he quits. The trumpet is proudly picked up by Livingstone… who promptly gets his Washington extramarital affair exposed.

    It’s incredible how republicans turned all of our politics into a toilet, arrogantly huffing and puffing as some sort of self-appointed moral and christian “keepers of the flame”, and they cannot handle a lesson as simple and crucial as that story in the Gospels - “He who is without sin, cast the first stone”.

    And look at them now. Today republicans are worse in every respect, including mental/emotional health or balance, by an order of magnitude. They don’t care about optics anymore, have gone up their own assholes several times over, like some sort of fleshy klein bottle.

    republicans are warped beyond reality and decency, by a hypocrisy from a self-imposed ignorance, that is as corrosive as greed.

    EDIT: it was during a late-90s afternoon, driving on the highway from Bakersfield to Los Angeles while listening to the Clinton impeachment charade live on NPR Radio, that something clicked inside my head and I clearly realized that republicans are an enemy of the true common good. That’s when I started hating that group of political cancer cells on society. Then we got cheney and baby bush.
