Harrumph. The title is misleading. I see no evidence that this judge has done any of the following: 1. A jump to the left 2. A step to the right 3. Hands on hips 4. Knees in tight 5. Pelvic thrusts Therefore, whatever may befuddle this judge, The Time Warp ain’t it. ---

Sorry to be sweet-natured in a Pit thread, but that child is so entirely healthiest and best looking that I think the sun shined on me when I looked at her picture although it’s 10:22 at night. ETA - to be nasty-minded, I bet **Starving Artist** agrees but is too much of a wimp to say so. Isn’t that what judges used to say back in those halcyon days of our youth? Back when you could leave your doors unlocked and not fear the incursion of mulatto burglar rapist murderers? ---

What do you people want? He said that he’s not a racist. That automatically makes anything that follows perfectly acceptable. I shall demonstrate with a quote from someone who escapes me right now. “I’m not a racist, but I think all Puerto Ricans should be kept in cages. What? I said I’m not a racist.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-louisiana-judge-who-is-apparently-stuck-in-a-time-warp/513960.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-louisiana-judge-who-is-apparently-stuck-in-a-time-warp/513960.md?page=3)
