Is There a Batterer in the US Senate?
2014-07-29
There is a batterer in the United States Senate.

This abuser's spouse has suffered repeated violent attacks, yet there has been no condemnation of this Senator's violence. Ironically, this Senator, who is one of the most controversial people in American public life today, has somehow escaped reproach for the one thing that both detractors and admirers should agree is genuinely inexcusable--domestic violence.

Those two are straight out of Primary Colors -- which let her off lightly. Both of them have made their beds (in separate rooms), and, frankly, deserve each other. Theirs is a demented, co-dependent domestic partnership.

#6  A) It's from 2002.

B) It's the wrong gender; the PC crowd would ignore it, even if it wasn't a 'name'.

They have several of everything else. I'm sure they have a few of those, too.

#3  Then there's that Nevada Senator who has often been mentioned as a pedophile, and who has never denied it, nor proven it wrong.

#2  Batterers, butterers, bum buggerers; it's a strange, strange lot. Don't forget to lock the shower room door down at the gym.
