I have spent all day trying to figure out what that statement [View all]

"I'll break you in half. Like a boy." truly means. Please allow me to say that if this guy lived in meighborhood, former FBI agent or not, my children would be allowed nowhere near him or his home given that he even made that statement. But is he implying "just" violence or violence/perversity? Use your imagination...right?

Years ago, I chaired a committee and we had this nutjob lady who was quite possibly the most argumentative person with whom I have ever had to deal personally. She was getting out of hand - quite unruly - and I politely (no, REALLY!) asked her if she could restrain herself. Her response unhesitatingly was, "Suck my dick!"

I stood there in stunned silence for what must have seemed like an eternity in front of a now-hushed room. And then I asked her, "What does that even MEAN?" Everyone else burst out laughing and she of course, started really haranguing me. But the peals of laughter just drowned her out.

I felt the same way as I had that night when I heard the Congressman's epithet directed at that reporter. Weird, eh?

YUCK! all the way around...
