And certainly, if you conducted a poll, more Republicans would be willing to forgive 35 year old transgressions than Dems would be.
But it is fun to watch, for a few reasons:
1) That douche gov accused his opponent of racism when he posted a picture of himself wearing a fucking KKK outfit on his own yearbook page.
2) That douche gov, a fucking doctor, advocates for allowing newborns to be strangled.
3) That douche AG called on said Gov to resign when he knew that he, himself, had done the same exact thing.
So it’s fun to watch everyone twist in the breeze and occasionally give them a poke with a stick. And it is also fun to hear Dems pontificate about how they forced a popular senator to resign when faced with accusations of sexual harassment. The truth is that the only reason Franken was pushed out was that it was guaranteed he’d be replaced by another Dem. If a Republican could have been appointed, there is no fucking way they’d all have turned on Franken like Brutus did on Julius Caesar. Dems shoot the wounded like Nazi Stormtroopers.
So, anyway, all that sanctimony creates a wonderful feeling of schadenfreude.
