bring a few Talibangelical ministers to lay hands on him and all will be fine. He certainly must have had a problem with women in his youth. Maybe he should visit Rushbo for some medication?

as an annoying, holier-than-thou nerd. I remember watching him on CNN's Crossfire and being amazed at his consistent conservative outrage. Turns out that under that privileged preppy look, he was just another sick, nasty republican male.

No need to create new labels for him.

Misogynist and racist republican is a good start.

Its pretty pathetic, here's a man who appears to have everything and he is still mean and hateful. I don't think I'll ever really understand these people.

People like that don't have any problem screwing other people's teenaged daughters. The mere fact that he joked in that area leads me to believe that he has done that.

Normal men in their 30s do not joke about having sex with under aged girls. Certainly not on the radio.

Not going to call him a pedophile. But evedince supports that he finds the idea enticing.

Just sick!

His birth mother apparently abandoned the family when he was six and has had little contact since. Weird

His real mother ditched the family to go live a bohemian lifestyle in France when he was six-years old and never looked back. I suspect that has a lot to do with his hatred of women. She probably left when she realized what a loser he would turn out to be.

I really feel sorry for his daughters. The poor girls don't have a chance with a father like that. He also has one son who will probably turn out to be as big an asshole as his father. Some people should never reproduce.

I just can’t accept that his mother knew what a little 6 year old Child would become. And perhaps her actions set his path.

Not making excuses for the asshole. We all have free will. But blaming a 6 year old is not something I will agree with.

They are "it" and "that" and "pieces of ass" and "wounded gazelles". He is such a vile piece of shit. His mother left the family when he was six years old and I don't blame her for a second.

Some was because she was clueless on racial issues, some was because she was from South Carolina and was a blonde. A few people realized that she was a 16 or 17 year old kid who likely had not thought much about worldly issues.
