But of course. What reflects worse on you as part of the constituency? Electing a criminal, or electing an incompetent one?

Way I see it, if you're going to elect a crook, make damn sure well it's a crook that actually knows what they're doing. Shows you have a discerning, if immoral, eye.

Well, a really good crook can appear not a crook.

I think you're expecting a bit much from Mr. Grimm.


I also like how it's perfectly reasonable to some people. No wonder reporting on the news is a joke nowadays when you can be chastised by the public for trying to ask about a goddamn corruption indictment [and then getting physically threatened in a way that would get me locked up had I stated it to Mr. Grimm] but hey, welcome to the USA where rights are subjective.


Guy would've gotten a poke from me for what he said, that's for sure. I'm not even sure he lifts, bro.

So, what you're saying is: I need to get into journalism.

Holy fucknuts, the number of people crawling out of the woodwork to defend the guy is insane.

What is wrong with people? Like, I honestly don't understand, what the hell is wrong with these people that they feel the need to defend people like this?

Comments, everywhere, about how "the spineless liberal reporter deserved it" and "anyone would have done the same in his situation" and "he should be applauded for showing the liberal media what it means to be a real man" (without a trace of sarcasm) and whole lot of "If you think THIS is bad you should listen to obummers SOTU speech" (wtf?).

... I have no words to respond to that.

If a democrat had of said the exact same thing then those exact same people would be outraged... Just tribalistic behavior taking hold.

Okay, two things. First, an interesting article on how Atlanta has been paralyzed by snow, and the suburban sprawl that caused it.

And for the second, certainly more important: Feds to seek Death Penalty for Dzhokar Tsarnaev.
