9. Who’s worse, Denny or Don the Con? Great Read

<snip>
Surprisingly, the GOP hasn’t condemned Hastert. Even worse, prominent friends of Hastert wrote Judge Durkin asking for leniency. Among them is Tom DeLay. (Nicknamed “Bugman” because he owned a pest control company.) Also a former House Speaker, DeLay wrote, “Denny Hastert doesn’t deserve what he’s going through.” What Hastert really “deserves” probably shouldn’t be printed in a family newspaper.

Shockingly, DeLay also wrote, “We all have our flaws, but Dennis Hastert has very few. He is a man of strong faith and great integrity.” One rarely sees “integrity” and “child molester” in the same sentence. (Maybe DeLay inhaled too many of those pesticides.)

Hastert’s former GOP colleagues, Reps. Thomas Ewing, David Dreier, Porter Goss and John Doolittle, also submitted letters of support. You’d think, given the horrendous facts, they’d be embarrassed but evidently not.

Apparently, the Wrestling Hall of Fame has more “integrity” with regard to Hastert than the GOP. The WHOF has stripped Hastert of all honors given to him, while all Speaker Paul Ryan has done is remove a portrait of Hastert from the House chamber.

Clearly, the “family values” GOP has a rather spotty track record. For example, Newt Gingrich was cheating on his wife, divorced her, married his mistress and then cheated on her. Senator, Tom Vitter of Louisiana, frequented two brothels, one in his home state and one in Washington, D.C. He was known as “Diaper Boy” the details of which I will spare you. And yet, amazingly he was re-elected! (In November, 2015, he lost in an election for Governor and, thankfully, it appears Diaper Boy’s political career kaput.)

Continuing in this Family Values Hall of Shame is former Congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla) who was Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. He did so at the very same time he was “exploiting” underage pages. Former Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was convicted of soliciting a male prostitute in a Minnesota airport bathroom. Craig’s unique defense was that, while using the bathroom, he just had a “wide stance.”

Yet, the all-time GOP hypocrite has to be the presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. For example, he vehemently proclaims “China is raping the U.S.!” But where are Don the Con’s ties, suits and clothing manufactured? China! Trump’s signature issue is undocumented workers and yet he was fined $1,000,000 for employing … undocumented workers!

5. And you know

The part that pisses me off the most is that sorry mo'fo's picture is hanging in the hallway of the VA center I have to go too for my healthcare.

He's not even the Speaker anymore so why is his photo still on that wall?

I'd bring it up to someones attention but I've made way too fucking many waves down there already. I'm one of those patience who won't just take a medicine just because a doctor writes a prescription for it. for instance I have anxiety, panic attacks and have my whole life but yet they try to push off on me anti-depression meds (which really sets me in a panic btw) for my neuropathy. No one save for the doctor, the pharmacist, my wife and myself and now you all even know I take pain meds. I don't ever take two at once or more often than the once every six hours prescribed but yet its a hassle when I need a refill. But yet they can see fit to hang Hasturds picture on the wall where everyone who comes in sees it. And think nothing off it
Fuck a bunch of self righteous mother fuckers.

My apologies for using that word but mo'fo just doesn't work there in that instance

14. You got it Mal! You nailed the comprehensive Roll Call of Republican Shame

It is astonishingly long and sordid. Longer than I'd recalled. When the shit is that deep, sometimes you want to blot it out.

The mass media should be all over this vast roll call of corrupt and morally twisted Republican leadership. But they fail the people over and over and over. Sigh.
