Yeah that's what I want - a guy for president who's name onomatopoeia-cally reminds me of a cat horking up a hairball.

In a case where both her children have been injured by someone else it's emotionally difficult to think that the Mother is actually at fault. In this case I blame her fully.

What are the facts as they have been reported? They are: a) Her 18 year old son from a previous marriage sodomized his 8 year old half sister. b) Her current husband picks up his step-son when he's bailed out of jail and beats and sodomizes him with a tool.

So why is she at fault?

It's pretty lame to say "well she IS the binding thread between the two children." However, of anyone in her son's life, clearly she had the most time to influence him. How did she raise him to think that sexually abusing a little girl, much less his own sister was ok?

Next, when the father came home to discover his step-son in the act, he called the police. The police then carted the boy off. When bail was determined, the man told his wife not to bail the boy out. She did so anyway, but didn't go to pick him up. Instead when the boy called home it was her husband that got the call and went to retrieve him. Clearly, if she hadn't posted bail her step-son would have been safer in jail - since apparently the dad couldn't trust himself around the boy.

The mom is an idiot, and clearly to blame for at least part of the consequences. Frankly, I'd just blame her for it all.
