In an earlier blog, I
hypothesized Roy Moore sitting in the United States Senate, or worse, joining up with the Supremes.
Well, I guess we no longer need
to worry about a U.S. Supreme Court Justice Moore now. Even if appointed, he
likely would not clear the Senate despite the fact that his criminal behavior
was not much worse than Trump's, who, so far as we know, limited his assaults to
adults.
I admit it's kinda fun
watching the result of the Moore molestation story: doncha love seeing our national Republican
leaders frantically scurrying about looking for a hole in the baseboard? Most are following the lead of the courageous
moralist Mitch McConnell, and using the mushmouth approach "Well, if Moore
did it, then he should quit." Sad. But think about it, in a way it's an
improvement. Did you hear McConnell &
Company say, "Well if Trump did it, he should quit?"
So is this an improvement, at
least on the national level?
Nah, on second thought, of
course they couldn't say that because while Moore denies his crime, Trump
admitted his!
On the state level,
fuhgeddiboudit. That's a whole different game. The good ol' boys don't even
bother with "if." They know
in their gut the story is true, and they cut right to core of the report. One
Alabama state office holder said, "No problem, Joseph dated a teenager
named Mary, and look how well that turned out!" Another said "Big
deal, Moore was in his thirties, and he liked 14-yr-old girls. What's wrong
with that? This is Alabama, baby!"
Moore, however, didn't listen
to the advice credited to the hated Great Emancipator who counseled that a man
who defends himself has a fool for a client. Moore insisted he i) he didn't know the dyed-in-the-wool
Republican woman who has given a detailed account about how, when she was 14 yrs.
old, Moore took her to his cabin in the woods and stripped her naked, but he ii) admitted that in his thirties, he did indeed, have a thing for 14 yr. old
girls, but always checked in with the mommas before he took their daughters to
his lair and undressed them. Or something like that.
Two points, and then I gotta
go because we're in St. Barths and Cleo arrives in ten minutes for my massage. And
yes, Cleo is over 14.
Point I. Does this revelation mean Alabamans will now
dismiss Judge Roy Moore's assurances that 9/11 and Sandy Hook were the result
of our lack of belief in Jesus?
Point II. Hypothetically, if,
as part of the 1865 surrender terms, we had coerced Alabama to ban slavery
forever, should we not have then insisted that Alabama remain outside the Union?
Who are these people?
A bientot.
