The Politics of Violence against Animals
Anthony Weiner on not running for mayor of New York City (The Daily Show 2/4/2010):
I would have beaten Bloomberg like a rented mule.
Bill Clinton on the legacy of his impeachment (in The Death of American Virtue):
He stood up to them and beat them. And he beat them like a yard dog.
The Clinton quote is truly disturbing. And I don’t even like pets. But who is beating their own dog? Not good people. At least Weiner is half-joking, or at least winking with bluster.
