Take the money and run, Johnny

Yesterday, John McCain cancelled his attendance at a fundraiser with Clayton Williams, who gave the following advice to rape victims: “As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

I read this and said to myself, “Gosh, didn’t that happen a long, long time ago?” Not that it’s not news, and it’s okay, but still, the time frame should be mentioned. There is an addendum here, but still no date is given. We’re bloggers, not exactly reporters, but still. It’s a fact, and thanks to the modern miracle that is google, we can look it up. I did.

It looks like he probably said it in 1990.

And though John McCain canceled his presence, he’s keeping the $300K that the guy raised. What a charmer!
