the problem is that you don't see the double standards from your own side.As a 30something, I went to a costume party as a flasher (wearing walking shorts under my rain coat and black wingtips).This morning I mentioned to my wife that what wierd's me out isn't so much he flipped and now says "I'm not in the pic, but I did dress like Michael Jackson back in the 80s."Everything you see in those pictures of me back then were the result of a drinking game, period.
I said, "did that somehow seem like a good idea at the time."
Wife says, "Lot's of guys dressed as Diana Ross and the Supremes"
I'm thinking OOOOKAY.
Hmmm as a child I was rewarded with sugary treats for dressing up like Mexican Bandits on Halloween too! But that might have been the 60's.
Guess I'll never be able to run for office.
Wait, no pictures so ...... nevermind.
Seriously, what I don't get is why a simple apology in Franken's case, and even if this guy was to offer one, is not enough to save a career. When we see Trump, Steve King, Kemp .....
I understand Trumpofiles have double standards. And I know there are republicans here in Mississippi who are embarrassed Cindy Hyde Smith's pattern of social media wasn't uncovered long before she went national, but WE'RE STUCK WITH HER. But why do the Dems eat their own, even when their sins are more of stupidity and they have no evil intent for sexism or racism
when you can do that, we'll get somewhere. but when you rope everyone who doesn't agree with you into 1 stereotype so you can call them all that way - well that's you being lazy.
