'If I’m walking around in my underwear and I’m drunk, who else’s fault can (rape) be?'

    Was it Obama that said after Jackie that you are "as likely to be raped in your dorm room" sober as you are "drunk at a fraternity party," or something along those lines? I'm foggy on the exact comparison, or whether that's the correct public figure.

    Dick, sometimes you say things and I'm just not sure what the fuck you're talking about. And this is one of those times. What the fuck are you talking about? Obama ...Jackie ...what??

    He needs to do a touchdown dance every couple of days, and he missed on the Chris Sale strikeout prediction the last time out.

    I'll find it later. I may be off on the details. Some prominent public figure said that you are "as likely to be raped in your dorm room on a Tuesday afternoon" as you are at a fraternity party when drunk. It was something like that. Slate or Salon or one of those sites wrote a, "Woah, slown down" column in response.

    I believe the Jackie he is referring to is from the Rolling Stone campus rape story.

    That was true of her own rape. But she then added more commentary that is less defensible IMO:

    Or I'm stoney just a couple nights ago. But I'm doing it while sitting on my couch watching a late night sportscenter rerun, not in the middle of a party full of ravenous biker gang dudes. Context makes all the difference.

    Can we just skip the passive-aggressive preliminaries and get to the point you're trying to make, Dick?
