Snark of the Day

OH NO! Larry Summers and Bill Clinton might be hurt by the Epstein files? Threaten me with a good time already.
Pharyngula

The inestimable PZ Meyers reflects my feelings on this matter, though I would like Tony Blair to be a part of this as well.

The Democrats have been releasing damning emails from the Epstein files, which is a good start. There’s nothing too surprising in them, though. We already knew Trump and Epstein were pals, we’ve always known that Trump was a nasty little sleazebag with a thing for underaged girls, and the right-wing side of the electorate has been able to ignore that all along, so I expect nothing to change. Also, the Republicans are playing the victim card and howling about it was all innocent banter and Trump didn’t do nothin’, anyhow.

Except that conservatives are hypocritically complaining about emails that expose the president for what he is, and simultaneously fishing through the emails that make Democrats look bad. I’m all for it! Expose all the dirtbags, no matter what side of the aisle they sit on.

I would actually argue that folks like Larry Summers, who are looking the other way in pursuit of money and power, are actually more corrosive to society than the pedophile collaborators with Epstein.

People like the former Harvard president are why people like Epstein could thrive.
