    If you're arguing with a dude with teeth as big as floor tiles at drunk-thirty in the morning, then you're the moron, fool.

    I expect a writer to do better than 'Fuck you', frankly. I can scrawl that on a dinner roll and throw it down the street.

    McCaskill was the accidental senator. Winning in the 2006 wave, she survived in 2012 when Todd Akin stepped in poop.

    Missouri had moderate Republicans for a long time in Kit Bond and Jack Danforth. Rich guys with privilege. Then the John Ashcrofts took over and that’s led to the Hawleys and the deposed Eric Greitens. Missouri voters love their flag-waving military heroes who talk tough and run for office.

    Woj has done better, and on a deadline, too.

    Jordan's night to remember turns petty

    Az, I don't care if he's employed by the NBA or not. My feelings are this: here is this totally terrible politician -- the kind of leader who has done a poor job during this -- baiting a guy into a suspension. That is totally, totally wrong.

    Who's to say he won't do the same to his constituents? Bully them into silence. How many people in his districts are now afraid of him because he'll get them punished, too? That's my issue.

    He apologized. The suspension was not necessary. ESPN has given this guy power he did not earn or deserve. Come on.

    Why did Woj have to go full Jemele Hill on this?

    Is anything really of substance going to come out of it?

    Tons of folks thought it.

    But as a professional, a representative of your international company and also "the guy" specifically linked to the company (NBA) in the tweet-comment-whatever, you don't do it. You just don't.

    If his constiuents disagree with him in a manner that doesn’t include profanity they won’t be punished.

    None of that matters.

    Woj is a journalist working for ESPN, not a publicist in the marketing department of the NBA.
