“Hello everybody.” “Hi, Doctor Nick!”

Rethugliklans may as well skip seeing the whiplash doctor and just start wearing a neck brace.

“You just can’t equate the two. And I wasn’t meaning to equate the two,” Grassley said. “And I think I’ve said several times that I wouldn’t say what, uh, Trump said. I disagree with what he said.”


“I think that you don’t have any more trouble with what Trump said than when Sotomayor said that – when she was found saying in speeches that, quote, ‘a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male,’” Grassley said. “I don’t hear any criticism of that sort of comment by as justice of the Supreme Court.”


Overall, seven of 10 Americans (71 percent) — think judges should “only interpret the law” and not take into account their own personal views and experiences. A much smaller number (26 percent) think judges should take their own personal views and experiences into account when interpreting the law.

Even so, most people (67 percent) do not think the remarks should disqualify Sotomayor from serving on the court, including majorities of Democrats (83 percent), Republicans (51 percent) and independents (66 percent).

But its nice to know that all Hispanics are the same, right Chuck?

Shorter Grassman: “It was not my turn to say something really nonsensical and/or just plain fucking offensive. I should be up at the mic sometime next week. My bad.”

“I wasn’t meaning to equate the two,” Grassley said.

“It’s just that I can’t stop all these voices in my head that keep telling me to say crazy stuff.”

“And stalk people.”

“Or torture small animals.”

“What was your question, again?”

… accused of having a bias in cases he’s presiding over against Trump University

On what demonstrated basis? Trump is scared of possible judicial outcome … Trump calls judge a Mexican … and that somehow in "stand-on-your-head’ world adds up the judge being biased?

Didn’t another Republican candidate for President write that down somewhere?

“I didn’t just equate the two”"

I wish I had a GIF of Lewis Black shouting “You just did” from his tour de force takedown of Glenn Back on John Stewart.

He meant to say in this retraction that his remarks were misconstrued, Ă  la donny, and how unfortunate it was.
