Face it, Rep. Ellmers. He’s just not that into you.
Blowback is a female pooch.
For those tut-tutting about this the GOP has done it to the Dems now they do it to themselves, it’s their internal business. Beyond that this sort of thing is fair game. Michael Dukakis had dirt on Bush Sr schtuping an aid and didn’t use it , how did that work out? The stakes are too high to fall back on morality when your opponent does not have the same qualms. We are talking here about the fate of millions of our citizens, I want a street fighter not the Marquis of Queensbury.

Per Johnnie Taylor:
Reason why I ask this question
I used to be the same old way
When I decided to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late
Oh, that’s when it all happened
Something I never, never dreamed of
Somebody was-a lovin’ my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was-a lovin’ my old lady
While I was out making love
Now who’s making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
Poppy Bush and his longtime “aide”, J____ F____, accordingly just about everyone in Washington. After the election, the Washington Post ran a short item buried in the Style section that went something like this: “J_____ F_____, who has served the new president in numerous positions over the years will be working for the new Secretary of State, James A Baker.” Buried or not, it was the talk of the town.
In the 1952 presidential race, J Edgar Hoover (of all people) started a false rumor that Adlai Stevenson was homosexual. In October (with the Nixon scandals searing Ike’s campaign) it actually looked like Stevenson might win, and the Rs were desperate for a way to ice the election, so they were about to put the Stevenson rumor into play. But Stevenson’s people discovered the plot and (possibly in an underground garage confrontation) informed Ike’s guys that they had the goods on Ike’s London affair with Kay Summersby and were perfectly prepared share that information with the American people. Both sides decided that it would be better to let the two citizen candidates fight it out on the issues, and Ike won big.

I’m bettin’ farm animals dressed up in women’s clothing were involved…
Damn, they brought in the dentist? Sigh, it must be true then.
Yup. And you can believe that there is gnashing of teeth going on in the Clinton campaign HQ over this ominous development.
