Getting ugly: Why the Trump spousal ‘rape’ story was unfit to print
foxnews.com ^ | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 07/29/2015 3:57:46 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

“On one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”

What a scoop, huh?

Now it would be one thing if Ivana was making this allegation today. Instead, the first Mrs. Trump issued this statement to CNN yesterday:

“The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.”

That’s the “victim” presented by the story.

I’m sorry, but the piece in the Beast, where I once worked, reads like a hit job calculated to harm Trump. It encapsulates everything that people hate about the media. And I knew even before The Donald went on Greta Van Susteren’s show that he would use it to attack the media, and that his words would resonate.

...or become the worldwide joke they deserve to be.

Journalists, used car salesmen and ambulance-chasing lawyers, all in the same basket.

Don't insult used car salesmen and ambu-lawyers.

The media are the lowest of the low.

Crocodiles and snakes then. But that is not fair to the reptiles either. They do not have a choice.

Worms, maybe? Maggots!

Maggots are getting a good rep lately...eating away the dead tissue and leaving the good.

And I have a little lizard in the yard that I am quite fond of. Tried to sell me some insurance, but other than that, he's OK.

One of my cats had thyroid surgery before the holidays. He's on treatment now and has gained all his weight back.

Got stuck trying to crawl through the lattice work on the front porch. Has learned to walk around.

Love that little guy.

Check out my "about" page. After London, I am rowing for Australia.

BTW, I am rowing up the Thames to the Tower of London...every single meter.

OK, I give up. Everything in the animal kingdom is useful, unlike the propaganda-spewing talking head behind the microphone or in print.
But that is democracy. Every crazy loon gets his/her moment.

GO TRUMP!

And keep them out of the White House.

Every time I look at that little guy I want to give him a big kiss.

He makes my day everyday.
