We could avoid some of the constant embarrassment.
Every day in every way, I am sorry that the Founders didn't include Being A Colossal Dick to the list of impeachable offenses in the Constitution. Bribery, Treason, Other High Crimes And Misdemeanors, Including Ye Being A Colossal Dicke. See, it wouldn't have been that hard and at least we would be rid of embarrassing scenes like the one that played out on the White House grounds on Monday. From Josh's joint:
This is a guy who's just bone-deep dishonorable. He knows how readily falsifiable a claim it is. (Politico already has an account of Obama aides climbing the walls.) He backpedaled a little when asked a follow-up question about how much he really knows about what other presidents did in those situations. (Evergreen Pro Tip: Next to nothing.)
But why make the assertion at all? Because he knows that tens of millions of Americans are right now emailing and texting each other about how Obummer never called the families of soldiers who were KIA. A third of the country will believe it by Thursday no matter how much we mock it, or how often it is exposed for the sickening fabrication that it is. I'm sure Benghazi, Benghazi!, Benghazi! is in there somewhere, too.

(43,049 posts)"High Crimes and Misdemeanors" was deliberately left vague so it would mean whatever the House wanted it to mean at the time.

I can't blame them. Even I can't believe what's happening to us now.

(33,345 posts)As usual, we're discussing his lies, not his actions. Getting pissed, refuting the lies, citing commonly known facts, basically running about fighting yet another Gish Gallop.
Meanwhile, he just blithely moves to the next lie. No one will ask him about our War Dead again.
I still think the only follow up question he should get is "was that supposed to be a joke?"
