| 88. No. I'm merely a "cretin / shitdog / fuckwit" apologist. |
 |
I'm 99% sure Leopold is full of shit, but if he isn't, I'll rejoice that Karl got indicted. But until that highly unlikely event happens, those making the positive claim still have the burden of proof. Also, it doesn't undo the damage by labeling dissenting voices "cretins, shitdogs and fuckwits"...or was that "fuckshits"? Perhaps the proper fuckwit or fuckshit can refresh my memory.
