Shit happens. Own it. Move on. Clean, neat, and tidy, of course not, but no one put a gun to their heads that we are aware, so accept the ugly, and do your best to not make the children wish they, or you, were dead.

Ewww gold. State rep Courser telling himself he's a gutter politics maestro of the write-your-own-sham scam burn, "I'm potentially running for Congress, I'm not gay...that's probably part of the problem...".

11 eternal minutes of ewww. Even after his lowly aide says it won't work, that Courser can just quit, and it might go away, and even after Courser agrees it won't work, Courser immediately bounces back with, "no...they will believe some of it...Benjamin, work with me...I need to, if possible, innoculate the herd, from the gutter politics that are coming...I've been thinking about this since I first ran for office, 2 years ago, or 3 years ago, since the last time...".

Ha-ha, he is really smarter than all of you Liberal sinners, because you fell for his Jesus inspired plan to cover up being caught giving a blowjob to a gay prostitute behind Wendys with this rediculous story about him humping a vagina he doesn't own, which none of his constituents really care about since he isn't a Democrat and wasn't caught blowing another dude behind Wendys. Ha-ha.

This is the third story I've read about this and it still makes absolutely no sense to me.

"How much more awful could you get?"

... more awful than a consensual extramarital affair? I could think of some things.

It's Michigan state politics. It's not supposed to make sense.
