38. What "smear" -- pray tell? Did he not use a lame, sexist reference to try and "smear" Obama?

You're saying he didn't say those stupid, blowhardy, sounds-like-Putin-wrote-it, words?

Seems like the one missing the trick, here, is YOU.

The man is trapped in an embassy because he refuses to answer charges of rape.

He cost his erstwhile "friends" (that he screwed, too--funny how much screwing this guy does!) tens of thousands of pounds in lost bail money because he did a bunk. You think they're still pleased with him?

He sits in a small room in Knightsbridge desperate for the spotlight--and his desperation comes through when he makes boneheaded, stupid comments that only point out that he does NOT have respect for women.

His comments strengthen the Swedes' case against him frankly.

But hey--defend the idiot at all costs, do go on...don't let the facts get in your way!

The point is pretty obvious. I'm not surprised that you don't want to address it. /nt Marr Mar 2014 #42
