    Thought he got a pass?

    I’m just saying that’s not just “womanizing.”

    Probably not. @YankeeFan thinks that's getting a pass, though.

    Scenario A: Hypothetical Board Liberal is asked about Al Franken/Bill Clinton/Lena Dunham/Harvey Weinstein/Anthony Weiner, pivots to Roy Moore/Donald Trump.

    Scenario B: YankeeFan is asked about Roy Moore/Donald Trump, pivots to Al Franken/Bill Clinton/Harvey Weinstein/Anthony Weiner.

    Both happen dozens of times a week. Why is A acceptable but B infuriating?

    Anthony Weiner is in jail. Weinstein's on his way, and I haven't seen anyone defend him at all. Lena Dunham? You've got to be a serious right-wing crank to give a shit about her. Al Franken is on course to resign from the Senate before we open our presents. Bill Clinton hasn't been President in going on 17 years. So who cares about him besides the right and professional arguers like yourself? Trump's the fucking President. Moore's on the ballot in three weeks. Forget the merits/demerits of their various sins. Some are more timely than others.

    I’ll believe Franken resigns when I see it. The level of support for him has been disappointing

    You keep saying something along these lines like it’s some kind of insult. I’m not Skip Bayless. I believe in what I argue.

    Anyway, the point was: I have no clue why @YankeeFan gets under some of your skins so bad. Is it that horrible to have to debate a conservative? Grow a pair, for God’s sake. What a bunch of whiners.

    Today's accuser will cut into that support.

    I will say, as much as YF and I disagree about politics, I enjoy the sparring. He a slippery arguer (as one has to be when defending this dumpster fire of an administration) but the arguments are fun. He rarely gets under my skin. There is some room for agreement.
