IF IT WEREN’T ABOUT A REPUBLICAN, IT WOULD COST HIM HIS JOB: Frank Rich tweets prison rape joke about former Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell. But it’s nice when these people show their true selves.

UPDATE: What is it about liberals and prison rape? Remember Bill Lockyer (Cal. Dem. AG)?

Yes, I do remember Bill Lockyer. My guess — liberals like for people to submit to the state, and for their opponents to be humiliated. So prison rape for Republicans is a twofer. The relationship of this to their political philosophies and personal behavior I leave as an exercise for the reader.
