Former Ohio Republican, Bob Ney, was sentenced to 30 months in jail by a ball-busting federal judge. Ney continues to blame his alcoholism for 'selling' his office to Abramoff. Ah, the blame game. It's something else or someone else's fault for a lack of moral fiber, integrity, civic duty and responsible citizenship. It's a great time to be an American, isn't it?
Fired for not doing your work? It's a battle with demons and alcoholism. Flashing your hoo-ha to the paparazzi? It's exhaustion and pills. Asking young boys to measure their penis for you? It's your past abuse and battle with alcohol that made you do it. Violated the trust of your congregation by preaching one thing and using meth and hiring male hookers? It's a personal battle with demons you weren't strong enough to overcome.
Why can't it just be that you're a creep or a pervert? Or...it could be that people are human. They are, by nature, weak to temptation and reckless. We all have things we're ashamed of, things we have done that we regret. My father used to tell us as kids to not doing anything under the cover of darkness that we wouldn't want to do in the town square at noon. It was because we were from a very visible family and he knew that everyone was watching us. I still do things I don't want y'all to know about, but I am discreet. It's called slumming, and I've been guilty of it. I try to let the good I do outweigh the unseemly. I also know better than to run for office or present myself as morally superior to the rest of you dolts because that would just end up embarrassing for all of us.
The real tragedy is that they keep blaming the booze. Folks, alcohol is your friend. Sometimes your only friend. Oh, what unworthy companions thou hath made!
And PD, you may have taken that town square advice a little too far. Please, put some clothes on and go home.
I love when PD puts these kind of personal posts up. So come clean PD what's up?
You fucking chickens?
Smearing yourself with shit?
Teabagging McTool and TGOSH?
You're leaving a lot to the imagination.
