The Gospel Of American Politics

Published March 31, 2008 in History, Humor and Politics.

According to the Right Honorable August J Pollak

There is not a single instance of political discourse in the history of this nation in which the participants did not want to simply kick their opponent in the balls.

Verily, he doth tell the truth.

I believe that particular debate style was first invented by the Viscount of Normandy, Frederique Rochambault.

How very sexist.

Many a vexing political opponent has been possessed of alternate equipment.

Sadly, Oliver, I think you and August are right.

Unfortunately that attitude is much more common among the kind of people who would support a George W. Bush than it historically has been among those who would support a Barack Obama. In other words, assholes skew Republican.

I don’t know about that, LB. FDR, Truman, JFK and RFK, and LBJ didn’t pull too many punches. And Quaker, would it be sexist to ask who has the biggest pair between the Clintons?

It’s not sexist to want to kick your opponent in the balls, even if her anatomy makes that sadly impossible.

Oops, “bigger pair,” lest Pedantic Man gets riled.
