Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was on Fox News on Tuesday night, defending himself against newly public allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, when he seemed to pull his interviewer into the matter.

“You and I went to dinner about two years ago, your wife was there, and I brought a friend of mine, you’ll remember her,” Gaetz told Tucker Carlson, connecting that friend to an ongoing Justice Department investigation of the lawmaker.

It was the deadly look in Gaetz's eyes that betrayed his intent. He's been getting away with criminality since way before his teens, just like the former guy. It's his MO and there's no more there there other than his complete guilt.

Maybe they just placed them where they looked pretty. (One of my high school English teachers actually did this on her first college paper; she said it looked like it had bled to death and she told the professor she basically used the commas in the same manner. She failed, of course)

ALL the guys at a certain teevee network have been engaging in the same "network" pedo ring for a long time, and it's international. I think by fall we could be seeing a lot of electeds in a very different legal situation.

There are more of her than we know about. I suspect that the former guy's daddy's gurl and his third concubine are two I could imagine with such proclivities.

Imagine him being swallowed up by it, his already awful reputation in tatters and his career shattered.

I can't tell you how terrible I'd feel, because I wouldn't feel that way at all. So I guess I just told you.

Think of the mindset behind the loudest conservative voices (like Tucker, Rush, Lindsey, Mitch, Sean, Ted, Matt, etc, etc) and you have someone who’s either duplicitous, entitled and repressed, or duplicitous, entitled and promiscuous. But however they lean, they’re also mean, petty, condescending and greedy. They’re not funny, either; all the best comedians are progressives, as conservatives are too busy thinking up ways to screw over other people.
