Who Was The Last Repug That Used Alcoholism As An Excuse....

I thinking that just a couple of weeks ago some other scandal broke involving a Repug and he used the same excuse - alcoholism. Am I dreaming this or didn't this just happen. Who was it?

3. Let's add it up:

Perverts, drunks, criminals, liars...I could go on.

Nice bunch. Just the sort you would want to run your country.

But remember: Somewhere in the mists of history, a Democrat did something vaguely like this. So it's all OK. Or so they would have you believe.

4. Wingnuts have great compassion for alcoholics.

In fact, it seems to be one of the few areas in which they do have compassion.

DUI's don't faze them. Being a drunk is just another opportunity for finding Jesus, after all.

An old professor of mine defined the Superego as "that substance of the psyche that is soluble in alcohol."

Given the amount of repressed, twisted sexual stuff the average Puggy must carry around, you can see how their ids must come boiling out when they're plastered--and how great the urge must be to get plastered. Think of Swaggart, Cheney with his gun, etc. They're always drunk when they do their shit, and they're always drunk.

The Demon Rum made me do it!

8. "Being a drunk is just another opportunity for finding Jesus" Killer line.

I've mentioned this elsewhere on the board, but having grown up in a dysfunctional, alcoholic family, I've known what I'm looking at for over 5 years. The constant fuck-ups, the constant finger-pointing and distraction, the wounded self-righteousness, the constant braying that "others do it, why are you picking on me?" Good Christ, I hate these people.
