It just continues to astound me how hypocritical the Left can be, how bloodless, how vicious, how purely ideological. Very legimate claims of rape/abuse against Bill Clinton are dismissed — or rather, ignored — as is his folderal with Monica, while the same actions from Republicans would bring down the wrath of Zeus. Imagine, for an instant, if Chelsea Clinton had gotten pregnant and the Republicans said “boo.” Keith Olberman would explode. All the rest would foam at the mouth. How DARE you, they would cry!

But conservatives — men, women, children — are fair game. It’s just disgusting. I don’t even care anymore about the fate of the country. It’s more visceral than that. I want Obama to lose just so I can watch these wretched people squirm in mystified agony.
