I also called it even more unprintable and even less flattering things. If that offended or continues to offend anyone, I offer my heartfelt and sincerest wishes that they untwist their panties, pull up their big boy pants, and get over it.<br />If anything, I understated the depth of the pusillanimous perfidy undertaken in that Federalist essay by orders of magnitude, mainly out of consideration for bandwidth and people's digestion.<br /><br />But I just wanted to make sure it was well understood, that of all the truly offensive and horrible things I said about the Witless Wizard who burped that misbegotten screed out, I would have it known beyond any doubt and with absolute crystal clarity, <i>that I meant every last one</i>.<br /><br />Yours sincerely for less treason in public discourse,<br />-AesopAesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-87510539259643174392018-04-13T06:02:18.432-07:002018-04-13T06:02:18.432-07:00Roger that!Roger that!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-18957872644340856672018-04-12T22:21:06.887-07:002018-04-12T22:21:06.887-07:00This is one Badger that would not tolerate that pr...This is one Badger that would not tolerate that proposition.
