I went to an all-boys Catholic school. In a discussion on abortion, I gave the opinion that no matter any of our personal beliefs on the issue, the decision ultimately rested on the woman’s whose body it was, and that I was pro-choice because there are a lot of different circumstances that give rise to the need for…

That’s the kind of shit my girlfriend’s fundamentalist mother says to her own daughter and then expects to be treated as a loving, longsuffering good person...

I love the logic of this. A married woman conceives by accident with her husband. Somehow this woman is a whore. I can only imagine this means that all women who have had penetrative sex are whores, including Ted’s wife.

“I usually wake up at 6:30am,”

Did she confuse a cook book with a spell book? None of these things sound like real things.

That’s not hard for me to believe at all. That’s the subtext of all debates about abortions.

From The New Yorker. :)

Oh, but Ted thinks he has the only direct line to God Himself. Just ask his dad.

I was raised by religious fundies and can believe it. Still a dick move, though.

I feel like he didn’t pay so much attention to the major themes of the story though?

I thought Dubya was the worst president of my lifetime, and right now, staring down the barrel of President Trump or President Cruz, I'm actually starting to miss him a little....

What I really find beautiful about statements like that is the unbridled arrogance of them. You don’t get to decide who goes to hell. God does. Show some goddamn humility to the Big Guy you choose to believe in.

I think it’s obviously implied to be sucking his own dick.

Hard for me to believe in his debating prowess when he goes to the ad hominem of “Your mom’s a whore.” I know it wasn’t an official debate, but a decent debater ought to have an argument about abortion without resorting to whore. Sure, many don’t. But, seriously, a decent debater should be able to.

He does have a shit-eating grin

Every single “nice” thing someone said about him, as quoted in this article, is pretty much textbook damning with faint praise. It’s pretty beautiful to witness.

Not to be a huge downer (which means I’m about to be a downer) but I’m glad they don’t mention what the rumor was.

I have no words. Which is unusual for me...

Panton told Jezebel in an emailed statement. “Ted and I had many mutual friends who would usually stop by to watch movies, play video games, or even engage in long, fun discussions about politics, philosophy, and life.”

I’m guessing the disgusting rumor is that he’s into scat, right? He’s a powerful dude and they all like being degraded and dominated in the bedroom (or in his case the bathroom.) Like that Senator from Lousiana and his diaper fetish.
