The last few years have demonstrated that among the most
stupid and most harmful remarks made by a celebrity Democrat in recent years
was Michelle Obama's "when they go low, we go high." And so on Friday night, a few minutes before
he made a ridiculous remark about Denmark and health care, Donnie Deutsch on

need to play a little dirty. "When they go low, we go
high." (Instead) when they go low, go to the side and give them a noogie
when they're not looking. I mean, that's the answer. You don't go to a gunfight
with a knife. If the other guy's got a gun, you gotta bring a gun. That's it.
It's simple.
(Noogie? Well, O.K.)

Freshman Rep. Katie Hill is resigning from Congress after
facing allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers in her
office and on her congressional campaign.
“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my
resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but
I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community and our
country,” Hill wrote in a letter announcing the news after it was first
reported by POLITICO.
“This is what needs to happen so that the good people who
supported me will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive
husband and the brutality of hateful political operatives who seem to happily
provide a platform to a monster who is driving a smear campaign built around
cyber exploitation,” Hill added.
Full evidence is not in but it appears that Hill, though
acting inappropriately, is more the victim than the perpetrator. Nevertheless
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has taken a hard line
in sexual harassment cases, said in a statement that Hill had made the right
decision in stepping down.
"[Hill] has acknowledged errors in judgment that made
her continued service as a member untenable," Pelosi said on Sunday night.
"We must ensure a climate of integrity and dignity in the Congress, and in
all workplaces.”
Hill was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee
for allegations of an improper sexual relationship with a male congressional
staffer, a claim she denied. Hill admitted to and apologized for an
“inappropriate” relationship with a female campaign staffer earlier this week.
Conservative news outlets, pandering to their "family
values" voters," responded as expected as
In a statement earlier this week, Hill blamed the ongoing
scandal — which included several nude photos of the lawmaker published in
conservative online news outlets — on an “abusive husband” whom she is in the
middle of divorcing.
Hill's resignation may not have been necessary if Speaker
Pelosi and other Democrats had not established a de facto zero-tolerance
policy, which is helpful when one wishes to ignore facts of a matter. However,
it appears the "climate of integrity and dignity in the Congress"
applies only to one party:
