I remember thinking circa '07-'08: "I respect John McCain, and while I dislike his recent tack towards the party line, he's definitely a good man and a valid candidate. His running mate seems to be some kind of babbling moran, though."And in less than a decade, the Repubs have gone from candidates like that to a ravenous mob of angry, petulant monsters. How???

We haven't made them pay for their stupidity.

W and his entire administration were incompetent from his inauguration to Obama's, and Republicans still get away with that "Miss me yet?" horseshit.

And by "pay for it," I do mean fines and jail time for transgressions past. For the current bunch of miscreants running for president, we literally need to make them pay for it WITH VOTES!

The prequels don't exist.There are three shitty B-movies that by pure coincidence happen to share the first two words in their titles as The Trilogy, but there were no prequels, and The Force Awakens has been the first Actual Star Wars film since 1983.I suspect these "prequels" you speak of were actually Sandy Frank specials.

I spent eighteen months in one of his dental reeducation centers.We were up at 0400 every morning like clockwork: brushing, flossing, rinsing. Then inspection. Breakfast at 0500, then more supervised brushing. At 0600, we began back-breaking labor in the pony mines until 1200, when we broke for more supervised brushing before a meager lunch of sorghum, then more brushing. At 1330 we resumed labor, this time at the biogas digester, shoveling pony manure until 1800.Then more brushing before dinner, and finally 90 minutes of free time to brush before lights out at 2300.

I still can't stand the taste of Aquafresh. Or sorghum.

That reminds me, has Hannity let himself be tortured, er, waterboarded yet?

OBTW, torture comes in many forms, but it's foolish to ask the torturer if it's torture. Try asking the victims instead. McCain knows what he's talking about. Hannity, the huge pussy that he is, not so much.

The thing that put me through the roof was learning that Iraq had been on the table since before Dubya had been sworn in. We need to make them all pay for that, and pay with votes.

The correct term for someone who opposes inhuman war crimes is 'pussy', as of last night. Thanks Trump!

But hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. At least back in the day, before we bagged the Geneva Convention, everyone pretended we didn't torture because practically everyone agreed that torture was a bad, corrupt, evil thing to do. A decade and a half of 24 and Fox News and we don't even have that.
