How low can you sink, really? He needs to be removed, permanently.

Let's not change the subject. They're trying to ban books. This waste of skin is being provocative on purpose. Don't take the bait. Talk about the attempted book banning.

How not to apologize: "want to apologize, was just kidding, didn't know you were such sensitive twats"
RetrogradeLlama
Worse yet "Obscenity Bill". Another matter of long settled SCOTUS law... that they are trying to force back to the Right Wing Extremist court to get overturned.

Republican? That stopwatch broke a long time ago.

Repubs love bringing porn into the chambers. Did he hold up a Hunter Biden dic pic and ask if she recognized it?

Is this about the shit head Senator Steve Halloran of Nebraska that can't control his emotions?

holy fuck......

That's not an apology to the Democratic senators. That's an apology to his Republican colleagues for doing something they objected to.
dingo8yrbaby
I didn't see the actual apology - but I'm sure it was worded like a non-apology: "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my comment" rather than "I'm sorry for saying something offensive."
Matdredalia
You have to love the fact that they want to screech about "obsenity," but they are more than willing to engage in it on the *daily.*
TheWombatStrikesAgain
They could fire back and read passages from 'Mein Kampf', while substituting 'national socialism' with 'christian conservatism', but there's a significant chance they won't get the insult, and instead invite them to join the GOP.
huey9k
Nationalist Christians (yes, Nat-Cs) wouldn't get the insult...

I feel like the lead might be buried here. Sure, inserting your female (or male) political rival’s name into a rape scene is terrible and crazy. But is this guy trying to put forth a Hayes Code for books? Even for adults? If so, that’s terrifying and outrageous. And typically Republican.
MantisTobagganMD
What in the absolute fuck?
Qualtagh
that is quite literally sexual harassment

They are looking at punishing him, even the conservatives. Nebraska, by the way, is unicameral. Yes, everyone knows which viewpoint the candidates have but their political party isn't listed on ballots.
noReallyIamPrincessBob
So Nebraska is dromedary?
makesense
Lol....like that description.

Does anyone have a link that isn't behind a paywall?

It is the Washington Post. Not paywalled for me for some reason. Sorry. :/

Lucky by Alice Sebold. The story behind the story is even more fucked up than the story.
JackingMeHoff
Halloran is an old Republican. Like McConnell he's losing his mind. Time to retire, pops.
BigRobbo
Hang on... why the fuck is he reading a rape scene in congress at all?
Hammertulski
Because he’s trying to ban books to a degree that it needs terrible and distracting tactics to slip through.
EatinButtsAndBustinNuts
As a Nebraskan, these guys never got past high-school mentally and there are quite a few of them in our legislature. I'm so fucking tired of these pissant sacks of fetid dicks. The governor is a fuckboi too.
EatinButtsAndBustinNuts
Oh and this was to highlight the "things children are forced to read." The usual book ban shit.

Average male lifespan in Nebraska is 77.3 years. He’ll be removed soon.
derekjohn
50% live longer than the average. You can bet he's got good insurance. You're entirely too optimistic.

A pleasant thought, until you remember these evil cunts are all liches who have imbued their vile souls into a phylactery.

if only. this fucker sure as shit ain't getting "the poors"tm health insurance.

The average in Kentucky is 73.1 - Mitch McConnell is 82.
sometimesidontevenknowwhyibother
This example is true and I hate it.

I'm with you, buddy.
