Is this ratfucking week? Is this connected to Stone? A parting gift?
I don’t think the guy was ratfucked - he drank too much and that has a tendency to get people into trouble.
Of course, if a McConnell aide was caught doing that, he would be promoted to Trump’s national security team.
And women aren’t putting up with it any more.
Exactly.
Things that were common in the past and that slid by everybody all the time aren’t going to anymore.
Agreed. Time to clean house. If you agree with racism or misogyny, go join the other team.
Yes please.
Please.
x millions.
I’m not sure either team is going to be able to get away with older guys getting drunk and coming on to their younger co-workers or hanging around them during the day being all smooth and so forth. Just seems like the culture has decided that won’t fly any more. Ask Blake Farenthold if you don’t believe me.
Yeah cause nothing says “smoooth” like Blake Farenthold. 
(I know that’s not what you meant but they are within sentences of each other - how could I resist?)
Some days I’m too lazy to demonstrate a touch of sarcasm typographically. Coming on to women who aren’t interested in you and could not be interested in you is by definition not smooth. 
No but I knew what you meant. I can even picture what you were talking about, having worked in offices a time or two.
Geez. I got a flashback to all the drunken come-ons I’ve witnessed in my life. (I think that maybe what the kids these days call being “triggered”.) Any guy who did that in my presence, either drunk or sober, got written off immediately. So many men are/were such jerks. Thankfully, our culture is finally doing something about it. No more excuses.
Matt House said: “I have always respected all of my colleagues and I was horrified to learn that I made anyone feel uncomfortable."
Actually, you haven’t respected all of your colleagues and your so-called horror is insincere. Bogus explanation!
I hope he becomes a better person. I wish he didn’t just blame the alcohol and say that wasn’t him, because it still was.
I wish him good luck in his sobriety.
As the IOKIYAR exceptions to the new societal rules we have President Donald Trump as Exhibit A, Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, for life, Clarence Thomas as Exhibit B, and Brett Kavanaugh as Exhibit C. It’s good to have, that IOKIYAR card.
OK class, your homework for the weekend is to list the societal groups you can think of that had zero standards whatsoever and outraged whatever standards they found in their path and achieved ultimate long-lasting success.
Yes, teacher. I would posit that for over half my lifetime the Republican Party has had such success. Since about the 1970s.
Haha I guess we’ll see how long it lasts.
