Bill Bennett just said on fox nooz we should consider using exorcists to stop mass shootings

"You need police. You need parents for sure. You need parents for sure. ...

But you know, you may need an exorcist, too. Before your audience shakes its head on that, if you look at these boys, these men, these young men, they have deeply spiritual problems."

...is landing him interviews with the execrable Raymond Arroyo on EWTN, not to mention the sanctimonious talkers on (Ir)-Relevant Radio. In fact, that's probably already happened.

He'll fit in real well on Roosh V's web stream show as well. A while back, Roosh did too many 'shrooms and slipped over the edge into full Orthodox (ROCOR) radtrad psychosis. (No, I'm not joking).

and who lost something like $8 million while on out-of-control gambling binges?

That Bill Bennett?

I was surprised to see that he's still alive. Have not seen the man in decades. Have not missed him.

like, hey Bill. Isn't there a casino somewhere near so you can find something better to do than weigh in on something you know nothing about?

I remember thinking what a hypocrite he was writing that book when he was a gambling addict, trying to tell us how to live moral and ethical lives.

The GOP truly are a party of scumbags.
