Today's Tiedrich rant: Democrats, wake the fuck up and learn how to fight [View all]

Robert Hur’s biased and unprofessional hit job on Joe Biden didn’t happen in a vacuum. this high-minded mania that Democrats have for allowing themselves to get played by right-wing Special Counsels goes back at least 30 years.

in 1994, the wingnut howler-monkey infrastructure was shrieking for an investgation into a land deal in which Bill and Hillary Clinton lost money. then-Attorney General Janet Reno, wanting to appear all fair-minded and non-partisan and shit, appointed a Republican Special Counsel, Robert Fiske, to head what became known as the Whitewater Investigation.

Fiske concluded that the Clintons had done nothing criminal, but the panel of three ultra-conservative judges who oversaw the Counsel were all fuck no, you useless dick, “innocent” not the answer we’re looking for and — because this is how the Special Counsel thing worked back then, thanks to a law signed by Bill Clinton, who also didn’t want to appear partisan — they fired Fiske and replaced him with pantysniffing prig Kenneth Starr.

Starr, of course, quite famously wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and turned the failed-land-deal investigation into a prosecution and impeachment over a blow job. (fun true fact: did you know that the Starr Report — which was pretty much low-grade pornographic filth from cover to cover — was partially authored by none other than Brett Kavanaugh, the future Supreme Court Justice who was so blackout drunk all the way through prep school and college that he literally has no idea how many women he assaulted? weird how the same shitweasels keep popping up every time there’s fuckery afoot.)

There's so much more to this rant, but I can't make it fit in 4 paragraphs. It's worth a click to read the rest on Jeff Tiedrich's daily blog "Everyone is Entitled to My Own Opinion."
