...he was no longer allowed to call the j/v wrestlers and freshman nerds "f____ts".

(and no...the word I "bleeped" there was not "fascists"-which is not a word that guy would see as an insult anyway).

Very realistic.

That's how they were (homophobic) in my days in High School.

If he'd had to think of something to say, he'd have been lost. Probably would have lost bladder control on camera.

He seems like he's the sort they'd only nominate if they knew a roadkill possum would win 65% as a 'Thug.

Jim Jordan's whole approach to debate is to never let anyone else get a word in edgewise.

Stanford did a study on why men interrupt others 50x times more frequently than women do, and the men studied thought the others had an opinion that was of lesser value than theirs.

Obviously, Jordan falls into this camp. No One Else Knows Anything.
