Daily Gut: Did Obama Cause Spousal Abuse?

So I finally figured out what makes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid so intriguing.

He’s a big stupid-face.

Example: Monday, during a Senate debate over the job creation package, he suggested that unemployment causes men to beat their wives.

“I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand,” Reid said. “Why? Men don’t have jobs.”

He adds that “Women don’t have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time,” he said.

So what Reid seems to be saying is that the difference between a man who beats his wife, and a man who doesn’t – is simply a paycheck – a brutal indictment implying all men are capable of abuse – and only a “jobs bill” can stop them. This is a view of men that only Janeane Garofalo could love.

But Reid is from Nevada, and he maintains the state’s domestic crisis shelters are “jammed.” If he’s right, he has two people to blame: President Obama, and Reid himself for voting for President Obama. After all, it’s Obama who twice told people to stay out of Vegas, the equivalent of taking work out of the hands of those who live there. Because liberals always believe correlation is causation, President Obama’s attacks on Vegas have no doubt lead to an uptick in spousal abuse.

Of course, I don’t really believe that. I’m just showing you where a Harry Reid opinion inevitably ends up, if you happen to believe it yourself.

It’s a place called Idiotland. Population: You.

And if you disagree with me, you probably beat your spouse with a sharpened griffin rib.

Tonight we’ve got Remi Spencer, Jim Norton, Mediaite’s Steve Krakauer, and Admiral John Bolton.
