[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Is this an argument of a matriarchy in the 21st century?
Rick Rosner: It could mean that as we move forward there’s an argument for government that contains fewer assholes, if fewer assholes are women, then there’s an argument for that.
Jacobsen: What defines an asshole to you?
Rosner: Somebody who wants to burn it all down to make a point, out of fanaticism. Ted Cruz seems to be an asshole. He shut down the government with crazy filibustering BS.
He’s super-staunch conservative, and he and a bunch of the Tea Party guys are willing to do a lot of damage to what has been a political process that functioned better before there was a Tea Party in order to have everything crashing down and tom have everything reformed in a new better way. Though good luck with the Tea Party form of government being better.
An asshole can be a fanatic. An asshole can be dogmatic. Somebody who ignores human welfare in favor of points of dogma who goes to war over points of philosophy.
