Republican State Senator Dick Black of Virginia is an idiot extraordinaire… Like
the kind of idiot who’s actually a danger to others and therefore has no
business being in politics.
Yet he’s considering running for a U.S. House of
Representatives seat.
I
won’t go so far as to say that’s the worst idea ever. In fact, it probably
doesn’t even make the top million list considering how many awful, atrocious
ideas there have been throughout history. But it’s still a notable mention when he’s prone to making
comments like the following:
“I
do not know how on earth you can validly get a conviction of a husband-wife
rape where they’re living together, sleeping in the same bed, she’s in a nighty
and so forth, there’s no injury, there’s no separation or anything.”
Now
I’m not going to read into his statement and say he’s a rapist himself. I doubt
he is. Nor will I speculate on whether he abuses his wife in any way, shape or
form. For all I know, they’ve been happily married these last 42 years and he’s
a model husband.
In
fact, he might be so exceptionally, inexcusably egocentric in that happy
marriage that he can’t understand anybody having something different. I have no
clue, so I won’t bother guessing.
What
I am going to do is freak out on him for those indefensible words that came out
of his mouth. I mean, what the heck!
No,
really. Who spouts that kind of idiocy?
Apparently,
Republican State Senator Dick Black of Virginia does.
Just
like I don’t have a clue about his general character, I have no idea what the
context of that deplorable little speech was. But unless he was quoting
somebody else to illustrate how insensitive, backwards and idiotic some people
can be, there’s no excuse.
No
is no, Mr. Black. And rape is rape. Those lines don’t blur after the wedding
vows.
Idiot.
