Less Of This

I guess high school was the first time I ever heard the word "puke" used as a verb.  A certain male with a mean-girl attitude told a girl, "You puke me."  I thought it was a silly misuse of words, but I have reconsidered the last few days.

Lt. Robert Cattani, who along with three other cops took a knee in a May 30 protest in Foley Square, NY,

unfortunately repented his action (needled/threatened by some of the other good ol' boys in blue?) in this incredible document, written a scant four days later:

What a lightweight!  Frank Meyers, this weenie isn't fit to shine your shoes!

While doing research for this post, I stumbled upon this equally incredible tweet from Juanita Broaddrick:

The name Juanita Broaddrick may ring a bit of a hazy bell with you, as it did me.

 From Wikipedia:

"Juanita Broaddrick is an American former nursing home administrator. In 1999, she alleged that U.S. President Bill Clinton raped her in April 1978 when he was the Attorney General of Arkansas. Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, denied the allegations on his client's behalf, and Clinton declined to comment further on the issue.

Juanita Broaddrick
Born:
Juanita Smith

Nationality:
American

Occupation:
Nursing home administrator

Known for:
Allegedly, being raped by Bill Clinton in 1978

Home town:
Van Buren, Arkansas, U.S.

Rumors had circulated about Broaddrick's allegation for years and it had been recorded in a letter prepared by a Republican rival of Clinton's around 1991, but she refused to speak to news media until 1999. In a sworn statement in 1997 with the placeholder name "Jane Doe #5",[1] Broaddrick filed an affidavit with Paula Jones' lawyers stating there were unfounded rumors and stories circulating "that Mr. Clinton had made unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies. ... These allegations are untrue".[2] She then recanted that statement to investigators of potential misconduct by Clinton led by Kenneth Starr, while insisting at the time that Clinton had not pressured or bribed her in any way. Starr declined to further investigate the issue, and mentioned it only in a footnote of his final report..."

I can't decide whether this woman is confused, an opportunist, or just someone who decided if she couldn't beat the Good Ol' Boys Club, she'd join 'em.  Either way, the stomach rolled as I scrolled her Twitter feed, and read her put-downs of half the country.   You folks who spend copious amounts of time on social media are clearly tougher than I am.  Sigh.
