OK, funnier still, missed it first time : he wrote that on MLK day.
If he did it while wearing a Klan hood, wouldn’t that just be the capper on a trinity of stupid? 
Mohagan had the same idea.
David Vitter is running for governor of Louisiana.
If you’re not clear on why that is a “stupid Republican idea,” let me refresh your memory. You’re deader than Anthony Weiner, Mr. Vitter.
Ah, but has God forgiven Weiner, as He seems to do with every Republican caught with a sticky wicket?
You mean Vitter. He was re-elected by the GOP and suffers no consequence for his actions, unlike the Democratic Mr. Weiner. While both actions were stupid, only one was illegal.
A politician in KS? Most likely for real, alas.
I doubt that. Look at Mark Sanford. Those Republicans are complete hypocrites.
Perhaps he meant to say “obstetric” rather than “gynecological.”
Republican Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson open his mouth and stands by his statement.

What we’re gonna do is turn Detroit into an Indian reservation, where we herd all the Indians into the city, build a fence around it, and then throw in the blankets and the corn.

Ah, but it is OK that he said because the New Yorker had an ‘agenda’…which makes the rampant racist comment all better, right?
Yes, the spousal rape thing is absurd, and evidence that he’s a loon when he talks about rape, I agree.
He’s simply using a literary technique where he substitutes himself or the listener (in this case, the latter) as a hypothetical person, a person with flaws.
Kind of like if I said “Wouldn’t you be tempted to take a million dollars if you saw it lying on the street?” Doesn’t mean he’s saying it’s the right thing to do.
Me too, but the evidence shows otherwise. We have a big rape problem in the military (and elsewhere).
Yes.
Because that’s what is actually happening.
(Not “every” 25-year-old man, of course - but he didn’t say that, you did).
I completely disagree. Simply stating the nature of the problem doesn’t mean you think it can’t be solved or should be tolerated.
If you said there are lots of drunk young people out on a Saturday night, so there will be lots of drunk drivers, does that mean you’re saying we shouldn’t try to stop drunk driving, or can’t? Of course not. It’s just stating the nature of the problem.
I think a combination of political bias on your part and incomplete, badly expressed words on his part is making you conclude this. It’s possible that’s what he means, yes, but it’s also possible that he was simply explaining the problem like I described.
Sorry to harsh the buzz in this otherwise highly entertaining thread about how crazy and stupid Republicans can be.
I haven’t checked, but Vitter probably did the religious contrition thing, which made him even better than before he was caught doing it with whores. Now he’s a fallen sinner who learned his lesson, etc.
“Everyone always assumes that young drug addicted single mothers and petty criminals are black, and that’s soooo unfair to my kids.”
Yeah, how convenient for the GOP :rolleyes:
