Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

The gays and gay-adjacents are in deep denial about most country queens we stan. We desperately want to believe that sequins and fringe are incompatible with racism. Thankfully Kacey will never let us down!

More than that, John Edwards is a pariah in his own party. Reagan is deified, McCain is considered an elder statesman in office, and Gingrich is perpetually seen as the elder statesman out of office.

To be fair though, we also have John Edwards in that ‘shitheel husband cheating in your sick dying wife’ bracket

When I was in elementary school my best friend was this spoiled rotten brat whose family always seemed a little off. Her mom hated any child that wasn’t hers and there was this weirdly Catholic undertone to everything.

You are giving her way too much credit.

Sorry, I got that wrong.

Wait - Newt replaced Callista? I’m so behind on my GOssiP.

Holy shit!.....Do all Republicans do this to their ex-spouses who are suddenly ill/struck by tragedy?

Gotta love those traditional family values that the GOP holds so dear.

John was already married to Carol when he met Cindy, a beer empire heiress who was 18 years younger, at a military party. Carol had a terrible car accident that almost killed her. She was in a wheelchair, gained weight, and had to use crutches later on. Even before Cindy, John already admitted to other extramarital…

I remember when Meghan had a section in one of her books that called out Bill Clinton for infidelity.

Some attempts to shame are so poorly thought out. It would be like telling me Donald Trump personally hates me, I would be downright glad. If she really wanted to hurt him she could say he made baby Jesus cry.

But what would Andrew Jackson think of this?

If anything, Hoover would be disappointed that Comey didn’t abuse his power hard enough.

J Edgar Hoover, the guy who tried to get Martin Luther King, Jr. to commit suicide? Yeah, I would hate for him to disapprove of me.

No. The hair fluffing incident happened on September 15, 2016. We knew then. We all knew.

Counterpoint: Trump had already proven himself to be a hateful idiot by this point in time.

Damn straight. Many nights I work the late shift, come home and Mr Mars will have dozed off watching the 11pm news on NBC. I get home at 11:35 and I hear Fallon’s music, I start yelling “No! No!
