1. I am glad that this GOP stooge was removed

[Scurrilous]

2. Good news!

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. Damn! That didn't take long. Go Simone!

[Wellstone ruled]

4. How about appointing a retired

Gymnastics Athlete. One that really gives a shit about the Athletes and will protect them from Predators.

[SunSeeker]

8. Sorry, that makes waaay too much sense. Can't have that in Trump's America! nt

[cyndensco]

5. catbyte called it a couple of days ago.

Taking bets: Will Mary Bono last until Monday as the new interim president

S/he was only off by one day. Great news!

[joshcryer]

11. Wow, nice call!

[Cha]

12. Thank You.. I hadn't even read about what started

this.

[DinahMoeHum]

23. Heh heh.

[Bfd]

6. Yes! That was fast. Good! I saw the article this morning & how well they spoke Against Bono

These young women hold a lot of respect, & they spoke some powerful words of truth as to the disgrace of selecting Bono in the 1st place.

They're not finished making this country proud.

[Solly Mack]

7. Good

[Cha]

9. Mary Bono a Fucking trumper..

Wah.. Stupid

[SunSeeker]

10. We had a local elementary school Principal call Kaepernick an "anti-American thug."

Unfortunately, she still has her job.

[Cha]

14. That's too bad, SunSeeker. Colin K is an

American kneeling for a real reason. The principle and others like her and Mary Bono are brainwashed trump doormats.

It's disgusting.

[SunSeeker]

16. Yep. Utter cluelessness. And she's an educator!

[Cha]

18. Pathetic! She should get suspended or something.

I take it she was called out on it publicly?

[SunSeeker]

20. Oh yes. Parents were all over the School Superintendent about it.

The School Board disavowed what she said and the Principal apologized. But no suspension, let alone firing.

21. Mahalo for this!.. she got in a little hot water. maybe she'll at least keep her

damn brainwashed thoughts to herself now.

Just saw this tweet on Bono..

[WeekiWater]

13. Should have tweeted some of her thoughts here.

Instead of making it about a Sharpie and a pair of Nike's.

[MaryMagdaline]

15. She's blaming victims for "acquiescing" in the abuse in order to get ahead?

She's unfit for the office

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Yet another Republican whiner

Yes, Mary, you had a right to mark your own shoes. And USA Gymnastics had a right to fire your Republican ass.

People like Mary don't ever realize that other people also have rights, not just them.

[Cha]

19. Yeah! ".. right to fire her trump cult doormat ass.."

Riff

[Hekate]

22. Her second paragraph: Mary Bono actually could have contributed something to gymnastics. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

24. Tee hee! Simone Biles and Aly Raisman get Bono's SCALP!

Immense Respect, Ladies.

[Blue_true]

25. Both. That dagger from Aly finished her.

Bono was part of a law firm that knew about the doctor and what he was doing for like 2 years.

[whistler162]

26. Guess they picked the wrong one

should have picked the first instead of the second.

[Mr.Bill]

27. My recollection of her as a Congressional representative

is that she was an idiot.

[Snake Plissken]

28. Even before I clicked on this I knew Bono would instantly go into right wing victim mode

They are never willing to take responsibly for the own stupid actions, it's always someone else's fault

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

29. I believe Ms. Bono graduated. ..

From the Sarah Palin school of resignation letters...several paragraphs of absolute bullshit...

30. Mary Bono on impeachment of Clinton

"Abuse of power and obstruction of justice," she confided to a hometown newspaper reporter galloping beside her on the way to lunch. "I'm extremely concerned about the way this White House operates, the way this White House will destroy someone, which came out in [Clinton adviser] Dick Morris's testimony."

"Absolutely, lying under oath," she ventured during an interview, when asked to give her bottom-line reasoning. "That's where I begin."

She really began as a 22-year-old cocktail waitress, the daughter of a Pasadena surgeon and a homemaker, when she met and fell for the '60s pop singer and senior partner of Sonny & Cher. She became Sonny's fourth wife and the mother of two of his kids, to say nothing of the boss of his restaurant business -- all of which she says deferred her dream of obtaining a law degree.

[displacedtexan]

32. She's the one who asked, "What will we tell the children?"

Curiously, she's said nothing about Trump's affairs and/or crimes.

[Blue_Tires]

31. I don't know how her ass got hired in the first place...

I'm still on the fence personally about fully trusting 'woke' Marcy Wheeler given how hard she whored for Trump in 2016 only to pull a 180 in recent months... Kind of strikes me as being "available"...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Buh bye

[lunasun]

34. Adios now move along
