Betty Bowers on Republican's Coy Euphemisms...

[Pluvious]

Republicans' Coy Euphemisms:

Sex trafficking = “Naughty favors”

Violent Capitol riot = “Tourists strolling on tour”

Admitting to sexual assault = “Locker room talk”

Conspiring with Russian spies = “Talking about adoptions”

Cruising for dick at the airport = “Wide stance”

2. Ah, good old Slade Gorton and his "wide stance". Good memories.

[HariSeldon]

3. Gorton was from Washington State

I think you might be remembering Larry Craig from Idaho.

4. I remember the Larry Craig's "Wide stance" fiasco

Did Slade Gorton have one, too?

[gratuitous]

5. No, Gorton didn't caught in a wide stance situation

But after he lost that lawsuit to Skeletor, his political career was finished.

7. Yeah, it was Larry Craig.

6. Republican Coy Euphemisms!

And they’re all perfect!

8. The folks who corrected me when I confused Slade Gorton and Larry Craig....

.....were absolutely right. In my defense, those two fuckwads were peas in pod politically and even looked very similar. But as a resident of Washington and an ex-resident of Idaho, I should have remembered better. When Spokane's newspaper (a real conservative rag if there ever was one) endorsed Gorton for his second term, the editorial board went so far as to publish a disclaimer that they would not have done so but for his support from the owners of the paper, the Cowles family.
