the donkey punch

B the Opponent has some odd friends. Or, maybe he just has friends and those friends — like good friends often do — are willing to overlook some embarrassing foibles.

But you see, friendship is also about setting your friends straight. So it is that I find amusement in the odd defense B the Opponent’s friends keep trumping up. Like, this one, for example, from those douchebags that won’t go away:

Quote Of The Day

I loved this gem from former Lt. Governor Steve Beshear (D) in today’s Middlesboro Daily News:

“I’m running against an incumbent so desperate to keep his job, he’s willing to say anything to keep it,” Beshear said. “Well, for every lie they tell about us, we’ll tell the truth about them. And the truth about them is much worse than any lies they can tell about us.”

Amen.

I mean, really? What’s the point here? This is the sort of shit people want to read on a blog? An inane quote from a fucking Dittohead?

And really, B, what’s the fucking lie? That your economic plan for the state you wish to govern is based exclusively on gambling? Or that you and all your friends have promised the moon, a brighter tomorrow and health insurance on that phantom concept?

That’s not how you build an economy. And to point it out isn’t a lie.

So really, what’s the gem here? And what do you do when the lie they told about you turns out to be the truth? What will you do then?

And that is today’s Donkey Punch.
