Remember when they’d be all “one man, one woman, one lifetime” is the Bible rule? Believe it or not, back in the day I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh. He was actually kind of funny (30 years ago …). He used to love quoting our great NY Sen Moynihan about society “defining deviancy down.” In the good old days divorce itself was scandalous. An extramarital affair would destroy a politician. Or an out of wedlock child. The old joke: “he’ll get re-elected unless he’s caught with a dead girl or a live boy.” Liberal icon Barney Frank was the latter case, and Rush had a field day with it. (Never mind that Rush himself had divorced and remarried and was childless and, umm, a cat lover.). Talk about defining deviancy down. Now the blasphemous (“second only to Jesus” as he just retweeted), porn actress/hooker client Trump is a hero to the so-called Christian Right. MGT, nut case middle aged woman obsessed with fitness and the anatomy of her fitness trainer, is a heroine. Matt Gaetz, overgrown frat boy who likes undergrown women, is one of theirs. It’s not just politicians. On almost every traditional “morality” factor the déclassé right wing wins over the comfortable bourgeois left: more teen pregnancies? Check. More divorce and out of wedlock kids? Check. Less commitment to educational success? Double check. More drug and alcohol abuse? Triple check. MGT: poster child for what the former party of the country club set has become. Why would anyone be surprised you listened to Rush Limbaugh 30 years ago? I listened to Howard Stern faithfully back then, his show was a staple when I was driving in/around metro NY/Hudson Valley back then. Heck, I listen to him now, though only when he’s interviewing someone I want to hear. Ironically, the sorta judgey judgementalism you displayed here is often reserved for people like MTG. Or, on then other side, AOC.

As you said, Limbaugh and Stern were both entertaining in their primes, in oddly similar fashion. Am I being judgmental? Yes, I suppose I am. I’m actually old fashioned like that. I believe our leaders should be generally (here’s an old word) virtuous. That doesn’t mean no divorcees or people with kids born out of wedlock. But it does mean trying to live up to a higher moral standard, particularly once you are seeking or in public office, and not cavorting with hookers and way-too-young women (or way-too-young men for that matter if you recall NJ’s former governor)

I try not to assume too many things, though I’m guilty of that from time to time. You never know who people “were” when they were younger. It’s been suggested I have liberal tendencies or certain issues, and I do. I enjoyed listening to Rush Limbaugh and didn’t really do so until later in life, past 10-12 years. I found his commentary interesting, though I tend to view people in that vein as more Dave Chappel than not. I may at one time have thought the way you did on virtuous leadership, but that day is long, long past. People upset with Trump and his comments about women had no issue voting for Biden and his actions with women. The same applied the other way. I stopped looking for moral guidance from people in elected office a long, long time ago.
LDD Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Holy F Margie...he's free to speak them and he did. The effect of his words did damage and a court decided that it did. That's also MURICA! He's not going to jail...you're only "Free without repercussion" if you speak the "TRUTH" as established in the Zenger trial many moons ago. All this decision did is establish that there is indeed a reality. It's the same one Alex Jones and the families of the dead kids live in. At least we have that...still.
Tiberius Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 The new face of the GQP. You think these people will try and put together a functioning governing party in the House? Right, just like the Nazis in 1932 they will say government sucks and is a mess, just look at us! Will they just refuse to fund the government? My guess is yes. They are going to Washington to wreck our country to prove we need to destroy it to "fix it"
