"it's fairly easy for opposition researchers to find someone who will say that's a lie"

No need to "find" someone who will say it ... that's the entire McConnell camp. What can't be found is anyone who can prove it.

Conservatives don't seem all that particular about the "consensual" part.

Lessee, what are the earliest uses quoted in the OED:

1841 in Times & Seasons (Nauvoo, Illinois) (1842) 15 Jan. 665/2, I am determine [sic] by the help of the Lord God of Israel to be one..to rim rack and centre shake the kingdom of the devil. 1847 Knickerbocker July 15 The wicked shall be rim-racked and hub-broken, and shall wheel by kingdoms into hell! 1862 in Dict. Amer. Regional Eng. (2002) IV. 584/1 The hens, turkeys, geese, ducks and pigs get rimracked badly.

Keep rimracking that turkey, Mitch.

He can't help it if his programmers forgot the ethical and moral subroutines. He's just photons and forcefields.

Maybe they should have been required to debate in white seersucker suits. At least then it would have been somewhat entertaining.

You should have seen Santorum when he was rimracked. What a drip.

Am I the only one who wondered what the "Merchandise" link under "rimrack" was all about? Can someone ask Mitch?

Easy - if she says yes, she loses the racists and the Faux viewers,which is a huge percentage of our population, unfortunately. If she says no, it's fairly easy for opposition researchers to find someone who will say that's a lie, which they can then blow up into some huge "Grimes is a liar, if she lies about this, what else will she lie about?" meme that completely ignores McTurtle's 30 years of lying straight thru his ass. I think she should say My vote is private, as is yours, until I am a senator, at which time i will be completely candid with the people of KY about my vote on public matters, unlike my opponent who says he votes in favor of women but . . . and then give all the examples of his votes against women.

Heroically serious newsnerd Chris Hayes has been taking apart the coal industry this week in devastating fashion. All the working-class miners who once earned a living in the business are sick or dead or both. Now it's all "mountaintop removal" and big machines operated by very few people. It's also owned by only a few people who, guess what, like getting rich from extraction and don't want to clean up the mess it leaves behind. But the myth hangs on, like rich Saudis going out in the desert to live in tents on weekends and imagining they're still Bedouins, or rich Americans cutting doughnuts out in the desert with their 4x4s and imagining they're still cowboys

I mention all this because according to the <i>NYT</i>, I'm one of only a <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/10\/13\/business\/media\/leaning-forward-msnbc-loses-ground-to-rival-cnn-.html\?ref=media" target="_blank">very few people </a>who watch Chris Hayes. The <i>Times</i> saw fit to grant anonymity to "one senior executive" so he could drop this bombshell:

<blockquote>‘Morning Joe’ has been hurt because no one is tuning in to watch the channel now.</blockquote> Wowza! That is some insightful and useful analysis!
