why are you specifically seeking out new threads in which to defend naked, shameless buckraking

because we ask people to serve a term of years, and if they do it honorably they ought to be free to pursue their own interests again

I don't think there's anything wonderful about Obama's decision here, but I also don't think he deserves a bunch of barnwolves up his ass

because the way norms like "don't cash in on your public service" are maintained is by being dicks to people who violate them

It is totally legal to stand on the left side of the escalator and block everybody who wants to walk. 100% legal! Also legal to call it out

If no one called it out until lady/black guy did it? Still wrong...but you get the pushback, yes?

I wrote about Bill Clinton's buckraking during the Bush years, so, while I "get it" I also think it's bullshit

The crescendo of voices is in response to a woman and a black guy ... white dudes aren't addressing that even if the standard is legit.
