Here's a (Fairly Vile) Campaign Update

It's not getting any better out there.

Please, baby Jeebus, you know I'm your amigo.

Make it stop.

Reason No. 1: Not This Again. (h/t The Daily Mail, which should be torn down and replaced with an actual high-end brothel.)

A DNA test reportedly conducted by Star magazine in 1999 said that Danney couldn't be Clinton's son but there remain questions about the test's precision.

The main "question about the test's precision" is that science didn't go along with the script for the ratfcking.

Reason No. 2: Not This Again, Part The Second: (h/t to AOL News, which should go to confession immediately.)

According to an upcoming bombshell book, former President Bill Clinton allegedly still maintains cozy relationships with his interns, often inviting them back "to his apartment for a glass of red wine and a massage." In 'Guilty as Sin' New York Times best selling author Edward Klein claims to reveal a host of scandalous details regarding Bill Clinton's 'private penthouse' at the presidential library in Little Rock, Ark.

Ed Klein is a clown, but this does give me a chance to repost these wonderful YouTube videos in which now-Senator Al Franken and Joe Conason remove Klein's viscera and feed it to the company cat. It's in three parts and every one of them is worth going on with.

Reason No. 3: Today's Non-Surprise h/t to the AP, which should undergo decontamination procedures immediately.)

German Abarca, another former camera operator, said most of the camera crew knew that Trump was attracted to their colleague. Abarca said the woman was the frequent subject of ribbing by others in the crew, almost all of whom were much younger than Trump.

"I think she mostly tried to ignore it." Arndt said that Trump would publicly discuss the woman's beauty and how her blue eyes and blonde hair compared to his daughter Ivanka's looks. "He would just mention it all the time. I remember him comparing Ivanka to her and saying that only Ivanka was prettier," she said.

I think my skin just crawled out the door and hailed a cab. As Aristotle put in in his Poetics, Ewwww, ick!

Reason No. 4: Please Give It A Rest. (h/t Yahoo News, for printing Hillary Rodham Clinton's remarks in full.)

"Some are new to politics completely. They're children of the Great Recession and they are living in their parents' basement. They feel they got their education, and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves, and they don't see much of a future," Clinton said. "I met with a group of young black millennials today, and, you know, one of the young women said, 'You know, none of us feel like we have the job that we should have gotten out of college, and we don't believe the job market is going to give us much of a chance.'

"So that is a mindset that is really affecting their politics, and so if you're feeling like you're consigned to, you know, being a barista or, you know, some other job that doesn't pay a lot and doesn't have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe — just maybe — you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing.

So I think we should all be really understanding of that and should try to do the best we can not to be, you know, a wet blanket on idealism — you want people to be idealistic; you want them to set big goals — but to take what we can achieve now and try to present them as bigger goals."

If you read this as anything but the obvious empathy that it is, it's time to lay off the patchouli-flavored ramen noodles for a while.

Bernie Sanders says he's largely OK with it.

On the brighter side, LeBron James has been one of our most fascinating athletes for quite some time. I've had two extended conversations with him in my other gig and you could see an interesting, expanding mind at work.

He continues to demonstrate all of this with his endorsement of HRC. From his hometown newspaper, The Akron Beacon-Journal:

"I support Hillary because she will build on the legacy of my good friend, President Barack Obama," James wrote. "I believe in what President Obama has done for our country and support her commitment to continuing that legacy. "Like my foundation, Hillary has always been a champion for children and their futures."

"My good friend, President Barack Obama" is a nice touch. Good thing John Kasich is term-limited, or he might be in real trouble.

Further updates, alas, as they become available.
