Ken Starr: Sex Pervert
Back when Ken Starr was trying to impeach Bill Clinton for getting a blow job, my Aunt Bessie was flabbergasted. “Of course he lied about sex,” Aunt Bessie proclaimed, “that’s what a southern gentleman does.”
Ken Starr and Friend
The next time I heard about Ken Starr, he had been named chancellor of Baylor University. During his tenure, a scandal broke out. Baylor went deeply into debt for a fancy new football stadium and drafted hot shot players right out of high school. Sounds like a plan, right?, because the hot shot players started winning and filling the expensive new stadium.
One small problem. Some of the best players began raping Baylor coeds. In a 2017 lawsuit, victims suing the university alleged that from 2011 to 2014 at least 31 football players committed at least 52 rapes. All the adults at Baylor refused to do anything about it. They allowed it to continue.
The buck stops at Ken Starr’s desk. I guess if Clinton had just been a football player instead of president.
So, today when I heard that Trump named Ken Starr to his defense team, I knew for a dead certain guaranteed fact that there is a pee-tape.
Mark my word – it’s real. However, at this point, it may be the least disgusting thing that Trump has done.
Starr and Goodhair: poster boys for graft and incompetence.

And don’t forget Dershowitz and his ties to Epstein. I guess it’s true that birds of a feather flock together!
3Ken Porno Starr and Alan Dershowitz both give a real BJ to irony.
4Let’s just hope Parnas (or someone else) plays the role of Tripp this time…
5As usual, Charlie Pierce has got it covered:

6THAT’s the president’s defense team? He hired the Keystone Kops? Not that the trial is likely to be anything but a sham resulting in an acquittal, if not a dismissal, but that bunch of has-beens and never-gonna-make-its is kind of sad. It’s like nobody sane and competent is willing to defend Trump. Good.
7If anyone could convince Senate Republicans to convict Trump, it’s Trump’s defense team.

Trump’s legal team is a wretched hive of scum and villainy
Edit: From time immemorial, port cities have been “wretched hives of scum and villainy,” so why should spaceports be any different? That was the theory behind Mos Eisley, home of the famous bar scene in the original Star Wars. And why should Trump’s International Hotel in Washington, D.C. be any different? It’s a gathering place for every kind of crook and scoundrel. As Lev Parnas told Rachel Maddow, “It was like a breeding ground at the Trump hotel.”
And why should Trump’s legal defense team not follow suit?
President Donald Trump’s defense team for his Senate impeachment trial will include former independent counsel Ken Starr, who investigated President Bill Clinton, and famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, sources familiar with the president’s legal strategy told NBC News Friday.
Also joining the team is Robert Ray, who succeeded Starr as Clinton special counsel, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general who joined the White House in November to help manage the messaging around impeachment, the sources said.
Dershowitz has been credibly accused of taking advantage of the services of Jeffrey Epstein’s underage sex slavery empire.
“I kept my underwear on during the massage… I don’t like massages particularly.”
— Alan Dershowitz, via Skype, trying to explain why he was in an alleged sex trafficker’s house but was only massaged by an “old, old Russian woman” and had no clue what was going on in the rest of the house. Dershowitz also said: “Were there young women in another part of the house giving massages when I wasn’t around? I have no idea of that.”
Bondi is a poster girl for public corruption. Further, the worst of the accusations against her actually involves the person she’s supposed to defend in the impeachment trial.
Bondi was serving as Florida’s attorney general when allegations began to arise that Trump University was a fraud. On the one hand, she publicly said she’d look into it. On the other, she privately asked Trump to fund her reelection campaign. Trump obliged, illegally using his charitable organization to do it. Bondi promptly dropped the investigation into Trump University, and both parties defended the whole arrangement. Then they denied it had been an arrangement at all, with Trump claiming that he had actually donated the money to another organization with a similar name. But that organization never received any money, and Trump was fined by the IRS and his charitable organization was shut down.
More recently, Bondi has used her access to the president to rake in money from Qatar as a lobbyist. She also appears to disturbingly tight with the Scientologists.
Then there is Robert Ray. He’s another piece of work.
The former federal prosecutor who succeeded Kenneth W. Starr as independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation has been charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend, police said.
Robert W. Ray surrendered to police Thursday. He was ordered to appear in court at a later date and released, police said.
A complaint filed by Ray’s ex-girlfriend says he e-mailed, called and visited her against her wishes after their relationship ended.
There are many possible ways to respond to Trump’s choice of defenders. As far as I know, Bondi has never been closely associated with sexual misconduct or assault, but I think she’d fit in at the Star Wars cantina just fine. As it is, her lobbying firm regularly sends its clients to Trump’s D.C. hotel.
Maybe these are the only people who are morally compromised enough to see some advantage in arguing for the president’s innocence, but I hope the House Managers remember to bring their lightsabers to the proceedings.
Speaking of which, maybe Ponda Baba was an innocent victim and Obi-Wan Kenobi was wrong to cut off his hand. I’m sure Alan Dershowitz would be willing to make that argument.

Our Juneau experience of Ken Starr. A high school kid unfurled a banner that said “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” at an Olympic Torch Relay parade across the street from the high school during classroom hours and got suspended from school. It went all the way to the Supreme Court as a First Amendment case. The kid lost. Ken Starr was the prosecutor. Not necessarily saying the boy should have done it (It was essentially a teenage prank), but this is what came of it.
11IMHO everybody’s missing the point, which is to keep trump’s base fired up. What they worship about him the most is the very thing that imperils our country the most on the world stage. “I do whatever the F**K I want, and I dare you to challenge me because I’ll destroy you and take everything you’ve got left.” Using that template he pulled us out of the Paris climate agreement. And the Iranian nuclear agreement.
12So now the world knows that although history and precedent has shown for a century that America can be trusted to abide by treaties and agreements made with us in good faith, from here on out, every 4 years it’s a crapshoot. And MAGA’s eat that shit up
13Ken Starr worked his ass off to corrupt the law for political benefits. To terrible effect..
And now the donald f**king trump administration has brought him back. To shove in our faces in it.
14Cause that’s what they do
Isn’t this a big chunck of the Epstein defense team?
15AK Lynne@11 that certainly demonstrates what a duplicitous sob Ken Starr is. Heck of a way to teach kids to respect rules and the law from the school principal’s over reaction to nitwit Ken prosecuting the case. Talk about frivolous …
16Back when Trump had a one-on-one dinner with Comey, (according to Comey), Trump said how embarrassing it would be for his family if there was a pee tape. That pretty much convinced me that the tape existed. If someone told me they had a pee tape of me and whoever, I’d laugh my Cajun butt off and ask to see it, ’cause I know there ain’t one. (But maybe I’m just not as liberal as I link to think? )
17If there is a hell, and a small bit of justice; surely, Trump and his voters are destined to arrive there!
18Shoving it in our faces is the point. And not just because The Cruelty is the Point.(although it really is). maga’s don’t think the Ken Starr move is cruel. They think it’s strong. Rubbing our noses in sh*t demonstrates his willingness to be strong and protect his patriotic, god-fearing American base from libtards. And Iranians.
19Same difference.
See where that puts us in their eyes?
In an election year. What a coincidink
Almost forgot.
20Calling ken starr a sex pervert is a mortal insult to sex perverts.
Even if there is a “pee-tape” or other graphic evidence of any of RAT45’s abnormalities, his rabid base will never lose their unbreakable faith in their ‘savior’.
Besides, the mere existence of “deepfake” technology provides ‘plausible deniability’ to almost anything today.
.
P.P. @18,
Mentioning “Shoving it in our faces is the point.” is what these beyond-petty muthafuckers do.
Hadn’t seen it mentioned here, but a prime example of Rethug/Trumpian chickenshit was an executive move this week:
On First Lady Michelle Obama’s birthday, these SOBs made it a point to negate and rescind part of Mrs. Obama’s legacy, namely the beneficial school nutrition improvements she advocated for, and that were then implemented legislatively.
Doubtless that some wormy R bastard thought this up, presented it to Comrade Bonespurs, and they then activated the policy change on that particular date.
It’s incredible that such petty losers even exist, but we all have known some such, and now they’re [temporarily fergawdsakes] in charge and running amok.
We need to destroy these vermin for good in November.
21There are still those out there that think Nixon was railroaded. My father always said the only thing Nixon did wrong was get caught. he was very serious in that belief. Some will never agree that frump did anything wrong. We must get over that and focus on saving the country. GO VOTE. Encourage others to do the same. And keep speaking truth to those that need to hear it.
22I had the same flabbergasted reaction when this team was announced. Bunch of losers! Maybe is an omen.
23Nixon, you say? Nixon was about to be impeached for a burglary and obstruction of justice. Nixon SHOULD have been impeached for, while a candidate for office, privately negotiating with the Viet Cong to prolong the war in Vietnam, undermining the official Paris peace talks, so Nixon could present himself as the candidate with a secret plan to end the war. This was treason, and hundreds of young Americans plus thousands of Vietnamese died as a result of Nixon’s election strategy. Nixon should have been impeached, convicted, blindfolded, and shot by a firing squad.
Remarkable parallels to the allegations against Trump, but THIS IS WORSE. Trump WHILE PRESIDENT privately (through Giuliani and other goons) negotiated with a foreign government to influence the 2020 election, using the power of the presidency and of the government of the United States for his own purposes, and — just like Nixon — undermining the official state policy of the USA. And in interfering with aid to Ukraine’s defense against Russia, Trump helped Russia. Again, treason.
24Brian, your comment made me laugh. At least once a week I get an email citing a password I used in the 90s and threatening to reveal to all my contacts just what I vile videos I watch. As I delete the email I chuckle every time thinking of colleagues reactions to my watching Pete the Cat and Blippi with grandkids.
25Two things: I think he could not find ethical people to work for him and none should. and
26I wish I knew your Aunt Bessie…what a wonderful quote!!!
Related to slipstream@24. For anyone who wants to get outraged at Nixon again, or learn why us old folks still loath him, here’s a link about his treason:
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21768668
But there’s more connections between Nixon and Trump!
1. In December 1972, “Dean met for lunch with the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerome Zeifman. What did Zeifman think, Dean inquired, of Nixon’s chances of persuading Congress to repeal the two-term limit on the presidency? ‘Sometimes,’ Zeifman responded, ‘I wonder if your bosss is demented’. ” Nixon spent that Christmas bombing Hanoi, and talking about how he might wage a campaign to rescind the 22nd Amendment. [Has any other president ever seriously considered trying to overturn the 22-nd?]
2. In 1958 when Nixon was still vice-president, Margaret Halsey wrote about the possibility of Nixon becoming President. “Many people will develop a sort of selective morality. They will have one set of ethics – the one they were taught as children and have been used to for all their lives – for judging themselves and their friends. They will have another, and a much lower one, for the President of the United States.” [Now we have one where the bar is so low you need a backhoe to dig deep enough to find it.]
3. Hugh Sidey covered presidents for 20 years for Time magazine. “Covering the White House by talking to its staff, Sidey decided, was pointless. ‘It’s a non-news operation, a laborious waste of time…. This crowd came in like an occupying army. They took over the White House like a stockade…. They have no sense that the government doesn’t belong to them, that it’s something they’re holding in trust for the people’. ”
Many of us blotted Nixon from memory, thinking that surely that was the worst it could get. But then 2016 happened.
