Best Ever Denial
I don’t care what you’ve heard this election year, this is the best denial ever —
The Denial Champion
Louisiana State Treasurer John N. Kennedy (R), considered the front-runner, issued a statement that began: “I want to be very clear that my campaign played absolutely no role in creating this story alleging Congressman Boustany’s sexual relationships with prostitutes that were later murdered, his staff’s alleged involvement in running the bar and hotel where this illicit behavior took place, or publishing the book.”
I also know nothing about him killing kittens, mooning busses of school children, or trying to marry sheep, although admittedly, it was an attractive sheep. I also have no reason to believe that he only bathes once a month and wears a garter belt under his loose-fitting pants.
Yeah, there’s a backstory.
They are both Republicans so it’s enjoyable.
It has been said that conjugal relations with sheep are a right of passage among the snacilbupeR and a sign of party loyalty. Riiiiiiight, Donnie?
1The Republicans need more sheeple.
2Class real Class, the Gross Old Pervert party would have nothing if it wasn’t for class.
3More than one sheep makes him a bigamist
4There is nothing wrong with having conjugal relations with a sheep.
Unless, or course, it’s a same-gender sheep. That would be disgusting. Repubs have standards to maintain.
5Copy. Paste. Edit. becomes…
News Release from the Clinton-Kaine 2016 campaign
“I want to be very clear that my campaign played absolutely no role in creating this story alleging Donald Drumpf’s sexual relationships with prostitutes that were later murdered, his staff’s alleged involvement in running the bar and hotel where this illicit behavior took place, or publishing the book.”
Yeah I know it’s a lie. I just want to see him deny it.
6Yikes.
But still better candidates than David Duke.
Such a low bar to clear. About the only what not to is to tunnel under it.
7Makes me shake my head and wonder if they’ve gotten into the Hurricanes. But they would have denied that, too.
8Weird story. Thanks, JJ, for clearing it up at the end: “They are both Republicans…”. That said it all.
9OK. Just had a flashback of Gene Wilder drowning his sorrows in Woolite…
Thanks for that.
10Can someone remind me what that’s called– the rhetorical device whereby you mention something while saying you’re not going to mention it?
11Rhea, it’s called snacilbupeR honest dialogue.

It may be a lie, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
13“Apophasis–alluding to something by denying it will be mentioned”–@ http://www.afreedictionary.com
I love Google!
14Rhea: We can call it apophasis. My new term is Donniespeak. Repugnantcans? They call it talking.
