Thanks. I like royalty.

Charles and Diana’s pairing came about for much the same reason people have disaster sex - the need for human closeness and comfort during a tough time.

Patricia Mountbatten is more than a family friend. She’s Prince Philip’s first cousin, and the daughter of Philip’s beloved uncle Louis, Earl Mountbatten of Burma.

From your lips to their ears.

Got a beef with Iowa, huh?

Agreed, but obviously that’s the bulk of the population.

He’s not my representative, nor do I live in the state.

We must have grown up in very different circles. I grew up in Clinton, then later lived in Ames, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines and encountered my share of assholes, but few that supported King. YMMV.

I get what you’re saying. But other than in his district - a sparsely populated, very homogenous area of NW Iowa - King and his ideas are far from popular or common in the state. It’s not as though the majority of Iowans would welcome him with open arms.

^ Exactly. I didn’t even think there were 600,000 people in that district - other than Sioux City, it’s pretty sparsely populated.

99.999999% of Iowans do *not* want them - or King - in the state.

Most of Iowa voter have long been appalled and embarrassed by Steve King and wonder who in their right mind votes for this ass clown.

And sharing her name makes you noble?Hope you feel good about yourself there.     

WTF? How does it make me an asshole to be pissed about announcements like this that so easily point the way toward a victim of sexual assault? Fuck you.

Yeah, I see a Twitter post from a few months back thanking Leah for helping her get out.

That is incredibly shitty.

That’s not my concern.

I won’t name her, but if you Google who Masterson was dating in 2001 it’s very easy to figure it out. I think she may still be involved in Scientology herself, which probably makes what she’s going through even more difficult.

If I were the first accuser, I’d be pretty pissed about this. It’s pretty clear who she is, even if she isn’t named.

Agreed. It all seems so sad and exploitative.
