The Surreal Life was just a very mean-spirited show in retrospect. They cast people who clearly had problems, exploited them and basically played them for laughs.

I remember watching him on The Surreal Life and realizing that the guy had real problems.

He wasn’t so much an active asshole but his personality was very prickly and sometimes unpleasant. He seemed to actively loathe the attention that he received while being aware that the attention was also how he made money. I…

This is beautiful.

He’s pissing in the corner of God’s house now.

A little bit scattered throughout, but it’s easy to parse. The overall picture I got is of a man with a deep sense of duty who made every effort not to politicize his job. He admits his failures and apologizes to Clinton in the book, which is, admittedly, refreshing to see - a man of power apologizing to a woman in…

I think at least part of the appeal is that this is a guy who got fired for a bullshit reason, and is now out there very publicly telling his old boss to stuff it. Is that not something almost every person has wanted to do at some point?

If he is the affiant, then he remains for the whole trial. Further, sequestration doesn’t always happen automatically.

I had an ex who did forensic interviews with abused children, and he told me that if you ever have to deal with a beat cop over the age of 35, be extremely wary.

He isn’t there as a witness. He is there as a crime investigator. So, that rule doesn’t apply to him.

It’s the equivalent of making a kid who defiantly peed in his own bed sleep in it. And you know - he might not be wrong.

What he’s telling us is that if he didn’t think Hilary was going to win, then the case wouldn’t have been reopened, which indicates that pursuing justice wasn’t his motivation.

You do know that Mueller didn’t replace Comey right?

I can see how it was a genuinely horrible position for him to be in. There was a very real possibility from where he was standing that he could end up in a situation where he kept quiet about the fact that they were pursuing new leads, and then have those leads lead to real results (we know now, of course, that they…

Nah. If someone offers you a Devil’s bargain where you can receive help in exchange for making someone else’s life worse, you would be an asshole to accept it. I have no sympathy for someone claiming “I didn’t care about the racism or the pussy-grabbing, but he was supposed to help my white-trash ass with my payday…

a female scion of the jones clan?

I work on a college campus and I said something about John Wayne Bobbitt recently and none of the students knew who I was talking about. It made me realize we need to offer a class in Scandal History: 1980s to present. These kids need to learn about Gillooly, the Jenny Jones murder, Jon Benet, the Bobbitts, Linda…

To be fair, she did use 2 legends as a measuring stick during these negotiations. Once her team allowed this tidbit to be included in the interview, it was game-on. We were forced to compare her work and creative value to Rock’s and Chappelle’s. And if we’re comparing her work to theirs...let’s just say her work is…

she deserves whatever she can get, just like everyone else.
