I was following a link on the Great and Powerful Wonkette, to an old post way back on August 30, 2012. Lindsay Graham was lamenting the demographic problems of the Republican party (right after their successful "you didn't build that" convention).

“The demographics race we’re losing badly,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.). “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”

Apparently Lindylou predicted how Donald Trump could get the nomination in 2016. He generated a bunch of angry white guys to come out of their basements, by being openly proud of racism and stupidity.

Maybe he didn't even mean "hanged"? Maybe it was rhetorical, "Well, I should think he'd be hung..." . I mean, Obama is a man, after all.

The Donald did say that he would hire the best people if he was elected; his butler and his hair dresser clearly prove Trump knows talent.

It's just a coincidence that Trump's butler is racist. And you can't blame Trump for that. Just like it's a coincidence that many of his followers are likewise. And it's also a coincidence that David Duke and the KKK also endorse him. Life is full of coincidences.

A variant on Dickens' Miss Havisham, jilted and moldering away in the attic, still wearing the never used wedding dress.

Random Butler Fact From My Brain:

Patrick Dennis, who was best known for his novel Auntie Mame, became a butler after his work went out of print. At one point, he worked for Ray Croc (of the McDonald's crock). His friends reported that he enjoyed his work, though his employers never knew that their butler was once a world-famous author.

Not So Random Fact From This Post:

Racist asshole's ex-butler is a current racist asshole.

This guy is like Carlson on Downton Abbey, a show I utterly despised. Because despite its fine acting, sumptuous costumes and settings and meticulous historical research, it managed to remain loathsome to the core. It's like doing a state of the art digital restoration of Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will, or making a solid gold, jewel encrusted replica of a Guinea worm.

Anyway, like Carlson on DA, this guy would be an absolute nobody if not for his accidental encounter with someone rich, and behaves as if he had become somebody important as a result.
