Mark Kirk, really? "A bro with no ho"

I know this is "late", but as angry as this made me, I thought it best if I waited to complete the post.
As many have heard, Senator Kirk made an oopsie. While near an open mike he was "joking" about Lindsey Graham, John McCain's girlfriend, Ooops, did I say that out loud????
Senator Mark Kirk's 'bro with no ho' remark caught on live microphone ...
Anyways, Senator Kirk, jokingly, stated that Graham is a "bro with no ho". Whilst best, right? But then this arrogant, entitled asshat apologizes and says, "well that's what they say on the south side"! REALLY Mr. Kirk? The "south side"? When the fuck have you been on the "south side"???? What, south of Winnetka??
Now, most media outlets have identified the statement as sexist and racist, but it seems to me that the media has pounced on the sexist claim much harder than pointing out the obvious racial slur that Senator Kirk thought was so funny. Not that he's not had other issues, but those were washed away by his republicon cronies dropped by the media very quickly:
While campaigning for Senator, Kirk said he had come under enemy fire in Iraq, that he ran the war room in the Pentagon and that he was the Navy Intelligence officer of the year. He lied. His unit won the award, not him.
He took credit for ending the Alaskan "Bridge to Nowhere"...another lie.
He called, publicly for the arrest of 18,000 "Gangster Disciples" but admitted that he lied about the number just to shock people.
He also said that he saw "a guy get popped" during a ride along with Chicago's Police Superintendent....Mr. McCarthy later explained that although someone did get shot and it was gang-related, the person didn't die. Another lie.

Now, there are many other stories about Kirk's inability to either tell the truth or calling people names(he called Democratic Senate committee staffers, "little zombies" when the CIA interrogations report was released in 2014), and, now, proof positive that he has no problem with sexist and racist slurs when he thinks no one is listening. His apology was silly and, again, arrogant. I believe that what you say when you think no one is listening is the truth...so Senator Kirk? You proved to me that you're the asshole I thought you were and you will race bait when you think it serves your purpose...and you are the one that someone should yell in the Senate, "YOU LIE!"

I also saw that he and the Governor Liar were in Arlington Heights for that parade today. Funny. Most governors always hit Chicago for holidays, not small suburbs...oh, but then the two of them could lie to those people much easier.

Go Tammy Duckworth!
