actually, a recent book ("In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts?" or possibly the other one that came out about the same time, the name of which I forget) presents very good evidence that McCarthy was also a heroin addict (not that there's anything wrong with that AS SUCH, but it demonstrates really bad faith, doesn't it?). but for sure it was the booze that killed him. it took more time than it should have (his death would have served the world better if it had occurred in, say, 1951), but it happened.

I hope you're right about Ms. Goon already being a spent force after her display of....(think of this as a blank to fill in a la "Mad Libs"), but I'm not completely sure her "Party" has hit bottom quite yet. in Boobert's case, the best-case scenario would be a gun-cleaning accident (a la Eric Rhodes, which is actually my niece's ex-husband's FB handle). except, of course, hers needs to be fatal.

yeah, I know that sounds terrible, tasteless, etc. but so the fuck what?

and Newt weighing in reminds me of those huge flying cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs?) that occasionally show up in my kitchen at night. except they're a lot faster than The Walking Bloat that Newt's become.

Newt is a walking cockroach.

I read in a book that McCarthy would put away a bottle a day of hard liquor, sometimes two. As for being on heroin…wouldn’t surprise me any since with Republicans, it’s always projection. Joe McCarthy had the money to afford his habit as he used the money the marks sent him for his “crusade” against so-called Commies in the government to line his pockets and dabble in farm futures and stocks.
