140. Meh! The Mittster is a lying sack of shit, but this IS his kid talking.

Thu Oct 18, 2012, 10:35 AM

Oct 2012

TELL me, that you'd not feel the same way if it was your dad or some member of your family. Seriously.

Yes, the Mittster is a horrible awful walking sack of shit, but I'm sure that if I was siting in an audience and I heard somebody messing with my kid or my husband I'd feel pissed. (In fact I HAVE been there on both sides of it and it is not easy...) The deal is that you do not get to that level of politics without having seen it happen before, and you also learn really quick that people say shit you don't like or agree with and you just have to roll with it as part of the process while you fight your fight.

What I find more appalling in this whole discussion is that the kid fails to realize that his father IS, in fact, lying. If he sincerely thinks his dad is above being called out he really has some serious issues of his own to confront.
