He's a politician out of Chicago. Is corruption even illegal there? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 13:10 2
- So technically... it was a compliment. -- nm - Isaa Jan 6, 13:11
- Thought it was a prerequisite, personally... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:11
I'm not sure that's an improvement... - znufrii Jan 6, 13:03
Issa is the scummiest scum that ever did scum-stuff. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 13:02 2
- You are an asshole. - Isaa Jan 6, 13:04 1
  - I meant that you were the asshole of a flower." -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 13:07
Honestly, that's how I read it in the first place. Corrupt as in, "not the way it's supposed to be". Not corrupt as in "criminal." -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 13:02 10
- corrupt as in, "Hey big business, which of these pesky federal regulations can I get rid of for you to reward your political support"? - znufrii Jan 6, 13:05
- It's a pretty unusual way to use the word in the political arena. If I rant about "corrup Louisiana officials," you think I mean mistaken, and not - mara Jan 6, 13:04 8
  - Yeah, but he even said something about a corrupt floppy disc. - Jim Jan 6, 13:05 7
    - Wait, he thinks Obama is floppy? -- nm - decline Jan 6, 13:06
    - He said that originally? I thought that was part of his next-day explanation. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:05 5
      - Um...someone linked him this morning. Maybe that was his next day comment where he tried to explain himself. - Jim Jan 6, 13:06 4
        
        It was his lame explanation. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:07
        
        yes, that was the second comment. - Reagen Jan 6, 13:07 2
        
        To your IM. Surprise, surprise.... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:08
        
        In that case...never mind. I just looked up the original comment...yeah, the floppy disc thing...that's a bullshit backtrack. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 13:08
