If you read their boards they are always talking about our peccadilloes. They need to look at the most hideous acts committed in their own backyard.

I find it kinda sad. They cover up their own shit like cats in a litter box and giggle over our like kids on a playground. I always hope their shit is not as bad as I hope it's not. It always is, though. Worse, actually.

That would be a nice third. Or even Limbaugh getting arrested again. I'd like to see him get a perp walk. It will happen.

That would also mean more victims...

It would be nice to find out he's just a garden variety crook.

I miss regular criminals. These type like Hastert make me queasy. I always wonder how many victims.

crooked behavior.

I'm sure if you look into Hastert's history, you will find many who went out of their way to help him hide his abuses. There's almost a pattern to these things.

They live in this bubble that tells them they have better values. When things like this happen they take to lessons away from it. They will be pretending it never happened by midnight.

It explains most of their behavior, and the strange words that come out of their mouth holes.
