That’s a good one.

Oy. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/ne...past/874905001/ quote:Democratic Ohio Supreme Court Justice, who is running for governor, shared details of his sexual exploits with "approximately 50 very attractive females" in an attempt to defend Sen. Al Franken against allegations of sexual harassment. His campaign manager has already quit and Dems and Repubs are both calling for his resignation from the court. Oddly enough, sitting on the bench while running for public office appears to be prohibited by Ohio's code of judicial conduct, so I don't know what the hell is going on there.

To take a very charitable reading of what he said, I think it's not so much that they showed him a proof or anything, just that he marked it "OK to publish" when he mailed it in, per many news companies' policies. He's twisting that to give the impression you came away with. He's still a whiny pissbaby with an overfull nappy though

As someone who once did a bit of time in the field, a lot of newspapers and publications will have usage rules on courtesy titles like that. For example I believe the New York Times will always refer to a person as "Mr. Smith said..." after the first usage of their name in a story, instead of just as "Smith said..." or "Bob said..." So they most likely edited his letter to conform with existing style rules. The fact that it made a mad pissbaby even madder is just a side benefit.

I assume “Danica” is an inherently female name isn’t it? Ms. Roem conformed to their style guide, and also affirmed her gender as a bonus. There can only be one Danica in the public eye at any given time. It used to be the race car driver, now it's this lady.

Ok then, but it’d be a lot funnier if he had intentionally misgendered her in his letter and then they corrected it for him. That would justify the reactions I’m seeing This is more like "Haha owned by Strunk & White" Data Graham has a new favorite as of 13:51 on Nov 19, 2017 |

Dude's the author of a bill that dictates where people piss, and puts an already at-risk group of people at an even higher risk of being assaulted, because gently caress those people, they're weird and make him uncomfortable. Childish is pretty much his M.O. from start to finish. As penance for risking a political derail, have some content. Skate bails. Bike bails. Dash cams from Russia. Dash cams from the United States.
