11. In no way shape or form am I defending him

Thu Jan 22, 2015, 07:51 AM

Jan 2015

and those who've read my posts about him over the years know that I have fair contempt for him on every axis.

This man is deeply troubled by his personal existence, his history, his upbringing, and his self-loathing. I have no doubt that he has significant skeletons in his closet and that is why he had to resign from Congress. His case reminds me of Bill Gray, the Congressman from here in Philly who was moving up up up and then BOOM! out with no real explanation. We heard things about it years later and after he passed away.

My basic Comcast service at my office does not include CNN or Fox believe it or not, but does have MSNBC of course since they OWN THE NETWORK. I can't stand the insipid network shows so I'm stuck with Joe and Mika if I have TV on at work. So please don't instruct me to change the channel: I have few alternatives. Thank you for your consideration.
