Each time I hear Juan Williams or some other liberal sycophant excuse the Obama Administration’s actions on Benghazi-gate or IRS-gate or NSA-gate, a spew of billingsgate emerges from my mouth.

Seems the only way left to describe that Despot-in-Chief is using the billingsgate vernacular that my folks forbade in their household.

Four-letter words, hyphenated words, billingsgate. No other way to describe these tyrants.

My wife’s credit card was stolen. I didn’t report it to the police because the crook spends less than she does.
