This is how a Moore supporter backs away from Moore....sorta

[dixiegrrrrl]

He's not quite ready to give up, is he?

“Word was he was gonna run for governor.
Well, he can do a whole lot less damage in the Senate here than if he were elected governor.
I’d rather give him one vote in the Senate than being in control of the state of Alabama.”

1. There is something in Alabama that there is no dictionary mention of and we need to have one.

Alabama logic: A colloquial rationalization that acquits any Republican of ever having done anything wrong, unethical or fucked up.

[Me.]

2. I Thought This Was Borowitz

[Ilsa]

3. The fact that moore no longer has any local power was

one reason why women told the truth when asked. There is nothing he can do to them now, compared to when he was district attorney, a judge, etc.

4. There was an Alabama law professor on Rachel last night

who said that the only things that could derail an AL politician are a dead girl or a live boy.

5. I dont think thats true anymore

At least not among the hardcore, and Alabama is certainly a center for hardcore “conservatism.”

Within 24 hours of the accusations Moore was fundraising off them and comparing himself to Jesus (his supporters also compared him to Joseph. I guess in for a penny, in for a pound).

This sanctimonious fake-Christian creep could literally be caught performing a human sacrifice during a Satanic ritual, and damn near half the population would still believe that Moore was the only “true Christian” in the race.

8. Or shoot someone dead on Broadway, remember?

Update: one of his fundraising programs just pulled out.

[gratuitous]

6. They're rick-rolling us

They're never going to give up Roy, never gonna let him down . . . and so forth.

7. "Send Roy to the Senate to keep him away from our daughters!"
