10. A mature adult with self-awarness would not spit back

they would receive the critical rebuke and make some personal changes.

I guess we won't be seeing that in this case.

UPDATE: The resolution passed 424-1, with only Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) against, on the grounds that it failed to censure King. The fact that it did not is the hook upon which King hung the above spin.

You did, congressman. You did

17. He's spinning himself into the ground. He thinks he's defending himself. Its more like burying.
