For all his faults, I kinda like “Horndog Bill”. They’re both to blame, best I can figure, for the whole disgusting Clintonista Republican Lite movement. But I like him and don’t like her. Live isn’t fair, and neither am I. But life isn’t trying. ---

Did you even read them? That’s not entirely true. 3 of the OPs cites state categorically it didn’t happen. The 4th says “there is nothing to out-and-out confirm Zeifman’s rendition. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be true, but it makes it difficult to arrive at the truth.” Which means that SA now bases their political views on the same level of evidence that the Simpsons uses for comedic value: Bart: That’s no fair, Nelson. They didn’t have the Kill-matic 3000 back then. Nelson: Hey! Records from that era are spotty at best. ---

And we’re still in the pre-convention phase with the Koch Brothers not even on-board yet. Wait till September. The only silver lining is the electoral college system. Residents of most states will be allowed to keep a semblance of their sanity while the Billion-dollar Bullshit Machine focuses on just ten tipping states. ---
