"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Unfortunately, characters like this one have been around for a long, long time, and I'm related to (though estranged from) one. It's a mental condition (I refuse to call it an actual disease), but the effects are that the affectee blames his or her lifelong failures on everyone except themselves, but they certainly are capable of knowing right from wrong - they just decide not to acknowledge the difference.
Politics, in cases like this, are irrelevant. This is one of those inexplicable human conditions. I don't excuse anything, because such creatures are perfectly capable of behaving according to accepted norms. They just choose not to.

However, there is a bonus in the link you provided: A clicky of the cheerleaders of this season. I must say, that's a sight for the sore eyes of this particular dirty old gentleman!
Not trying to be sexist here, that will probably be a felony soon, if it isn't already, but beautiful women are, well, beautiful! :-)

Hmm. Sounds an awful lot like a certain American president. And Senate majority leader. Etc., etc., ad infinitum.
