"...put a Bayer aspirin between their knees..."

We are asymptotically approaching some nadir in the American "discourse". This is not quite the most ridiculous statement utterred in recent years, but we are getting to the point where there is no visible bottom.

This is just outrageous to the nth degree and for Andrea Mitchell Greenspan to not express extreme anger and snotty disgust in the manner which she does when folks like Alan Grayson, Dennis Kucinich, or other "extreme liberals" (sic) make what the RW called incendiary remarks is almost as revoltin' a development as the original comment made by this Zero.

Since I'm from Philly, I know the REAL story about Ms. Mitchell. It is quite something, you know...

I remember thinking that if someone was determined enough to force a woman to have sex, he could bend her over and force himself on her. I was only 17 years old.
