I would remind them that nothing is more bipartisan than sexual indiscretion.

Oh, please! I'm so sick of all this false equivalence crap. Hiring prostitutes is a crime, not an indiscretion.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Re: Connect these dots (4.00 / 3)

btw, nanne, just to be clear -- my irritation is directed at Kurz, not you! Paranoia, meet crabby as hell -- we should get together! We could clear this thread in no time.

We'll have to wait and see whether the equivalence is really false (in terms of Dems - Reps).

Re: Connect these dots (4.00 / 2)

Well, yeah, I agree. If Dems are hiring prostitutes, they're guilty as well, but I really sense that Clinton's blowjob is going to be dragged into this and that that's what he's getting at with his talk of "indiscretion." Of course, maybe he knows something we don't, but if that's the case, why the pointed reference now?

I don't know if Kurtz wanted to say that (but hey, I don't know).

Kaus is an even bigger ass of course, as he thinks the Clenis is a problem for Hillary and doesn't see any problem with that.
