Here’s the simplest way to describe Ken Starr. When it fit his interests to talk about “morality,” he did so. When it fit his interests to defend the greatest moral reprobates in this country, he did so.

That it was always Democrats whom Starr found morally deficient and Republicans he defended maybe isn’t so surprising.

But given his witch hunt against Bill Clinton in the 1990s that he followed by being the greatest possible supporter of admitted sexual assaulter Donald Trump just sums up so much about today’s right.

Moreover, Starr himself oversaw one of the worst sexual violence scandals in contemporary college sports, when as president of Baylor, a conservative Baptist institution, he routinely overlooked serial rape committed by players because they won football games.

He defended Jeffrey Epstein.

He defended Donald Trump.

In short, Starr’s feelings about sexual crime depended entirely on whether he liked the person who committed it.

3. If you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all

Ken Starr is roasting on a spit in hell. Good.

4. Baylor

They’d been a doormat in football for decades. Basketball too I think. Suddenly they are winning everything. I’m not saying that rape and sexual assault go hand in hand with good football but anytime a program just suddenly is good experience has told me that they recruit with “Listen, you can do anything you want as long as we win”. I’ve seen it too many times.

6. Beat Me To It!

That's as bad a stain on his memory as any other.
He swept rape under the rug.
That's pretty horrible.

8. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

9. Yup.

There's a huge difference between persecuting someone for a consentual blowjob and defending someone creditably accused of raping kids.

The world is a better place without the corrupt, partisan hypocrite in it.
