Bill Pruitt, a former producer for The Apprentice whose NDA just expired after 20 years, writes in Slate that Donald Trump used the n-word during the production of the show — and there are tapes of him doing it.

I think in a sane world, after the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out we'd have never heard from him again.

I've posted this story many times.

After the 'pussy grabber' tape came out, a conservative woman went on the TV show The View to defend Donald.

One of the other panelists kept repeating the word 'pussy' over and over. The Trump defender asked her to stop using that offensive word.

A reminder that there was a candidate who got too excited and yelled in a weird way then got erased because of it. Now we have Robert "brainworm" Kennedy still on people's radar sounding like he's gargled gravel everyday since he was 12.

Poor Howard Dean, we could use that enthusiasm now.

Not to mention someone misspelled potato once, and his political career got torched from it.

Iirc he didn't even get 'too excited' he just had the mic too close to his mouth.

That was after losing Iowa, it likely wasn't the deciding factor on its own.

In a sane world, yes.

In the real world, the people who support him are the ones who identify with him, and the ones who identify with him think that sexual assault is the pinnacle of masculinity.

Why is everyone talking about a hypothetical sane world? It's not. Maybe it never was. It's a mad mad mad mad world.

(No conscious reference to the movie, it's just a title that seems apt.)

I didn't get the reference. All I could think of was mad mad mad mad mad Madam Mim from Sword in the Stone.

One scene from a great movie

Now I have another movie on my list. That pilot is a man after my own heart.

The actor or the stuntman, or both?

FYI, it's a 1960s movie and runs long. You might want to break it into chunks.
