Now it's Stephen King. Has everything devolved into politics?

Stephen King just had to get involved on social media to take a shot at Republicans after the train they were in on, heading to a West Virginia retreat struck a sanitation truck, killing the driver and seriously injuring a passenger. He tweeted:

"A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck," he tweeted on Thursday. "My friend Russ calls that karma."

Many people thought King was being a leftist ass as many responded to his insensitive tweet.

Piers Morgan was among the first to respond by simply tweeting: "A man died in that crash, you despicable man."

Realizing that he was exposed for the ass that he is, King posted a follow-up:

"Of COURSE sorry the truck driver died."

Note, King didn't refer to the driver as a garbage truck driver as he did when he was attacking Republicans for being of a different political persuasion than his.

The anti-Stephen King attacks continued and he soon apologized tweeting:

"A rather thoughtless tweet from me concerning the train-truck crash, for which I apologize (if one is necessary). It should be pointed out, too, that those Republican politicians, who can be heartless when they vote, immediately got out to help."

So Republicans are heartless when they vote against abortion up to 20 weeks, at a time the unborn baby is able to feel pain. Republicans are heartless when they want to impose "Kate's Law" to protect Americans from illegal immigrants with prison records from waltzing into the country and get protection in so-called 'sanctuary cities' whose liberal leaders refuse to cooperate with law enforcement. And Republicans are heartless because they tend to give significantly more in charity than Democrats.

My favorite response to King came from @mmmblake1 who tweeted:

"Was it karma when that van hit you?"

She was referring to the 1999 incident when a distracted driver struck King from behind with a van. King's injuries were quite serious and he required surgeries and physical therapy.

One would think that such a gifted writer would have the capacity to see beyond politics and his leftist prejudices against people who think differently. He is apparently only good at one thing and that doesn't make him right.

Shadenfreude is never an attractive quality.

Schadenfreude and Sigmund too

An angry white man

I'm going to miss this period in time. I haven't had this much schadenfreude since Saddam Hussein was caught in a hole and brought to justice.

The Hillary Clinton/Bill Clinton bus has blown all of its tires and it ran out of gas along the Highway of Despair (figuratively speaking, of course).

Now we have Bill Clinton making excuses for his wife's well-earned loss to Donald Trump. It's delicious--a word I really cannot stand to use when it has nothing to do with food--but it seems perfect to describe the utter disbelief that "Crooked Hillary" could possibly lose to a person like Trump, a guy whose normal discourse consists of words with so few syllables, the word "syllable" isn't even in there. The guy who thought 'unpresidented' meant 'unprecedented.' 

Bill mocked Donald's intelligence and said that "angry, white men" helped secure his victory and blamed FBI Director James Comey for Hillary's crushing defeat.

Yes, Bill's partly correct. 

Angry white men did help secure Trump's victory. So did angry white women, angry Hispanics who came to this country legally, angry people who are tired of the "business as usual" nothing-ever-changes politics and politicians, and intelligent young people who see their tuition rising and the quality of their education plummeting along with job growth. 

Being called a "basket full of deplorables" didn't warm us angry white men toward Hillary either, Bill.

James Comey? Really Bill, you could do better than that. I thought it was only Hillary with the deep-seated narcissistic personality disorder. 

If your 'lovely' wife wasn't so arrogant and actually followed the law, there would be no James Comey to kick around over the results of the election. She actually was lucky he didn't recommend indictment, which would have been the appropriate call.

Maybe Comey's timing was ripe for Hillary's defeat, but so was the rise in the cost of ObamaCare. You forgot to mention that, Bill . . . and let's not forget the Russians.

Now your wife's inner circle are trying to put the blame on Huma Abedin for Hillary's loss, not the fact that your 'lovely' wife has the public personality of a shrew.

Anyway Bill, I've heard rumors about you and Hillary and I will not spread them here. I will suggest, however, that people stay tuned to the Bill and Hillary Show.
