In case you'd forgotten, Curt Schilling is still one of the planet's biggest assholes

I hope you enjoyed the Super Tuesday results. And by “enjoyed” I mean “survived without succumbing to the urge to tear out your insides” and/or “spent four hours researching emigration laws in-depth.” I have no idea who is going to win this bad boy come November but I do know that, whoever it is, time travelers coming here from 20-30 years ago are gonna step out of their machine, take one good look around and then immediately go back to the time before they were born and make sure their parents never meet. And we will all envy them.

I guess what I’m saying is that, for a guy who knows a little bit about politics, I’m pretty darn confused by the 2016 election. Thank goodness, then, that we have astute political commentators offering their insights on the airwaves. Including the sports airwaves, like 610 AM in Kansas City, which hosted ESPN analyst and should-be Hall of Famer Curt Schilling yesterday. As usual, Schilling set us all straight on how the presidential race should turn out:

The host asked if Schilling thinks Hillary Clinton will go to prison. “I hope she does,” said Schilling. “If I’m gonna believe, and I don’t have any reason not to believe, that she gave classified information on hundreds if not thousands of emails on a public server after what happened to General Petraeus, she should buried under a jail somewhere.”

If one were less respectful of Schilling one might note that he and Hillary Clinton (a) have both done things for which many have called for their prosecution; (b) have both been investigated by the government in an extensive manner; and (c) have both been determined to not have broken any laws and/or have been worth prosecuting and thus should probably be free to go about their daily lives, but I would never point that out because, hey, Schilling was an amazing pitcher and I have too much respect for him.

2. Such an a-hole

Why is anyone asking for his opinion on anything political?? Unless he wants to tell people how to swindle money, he should just shut his pie-hole!

3. Nothing Happened To General Petraeus

Even though General Petraeus broke the rules of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) by having an affair with a subordinate he was not court martialed. Many officers have had their careers ended due to having an affair with a subordinate. Along with the affair, General Petraeus gave classified information to his mistress. According to USA Today, General Petraeus gave his mistress, Paula Broadwell, "the names of covert operatives and war strategy". General Petraeus was actually convicted of a crime. However, not only was General Petraeus not given any jail time, he was allowed to retired at the four star general rank. Being allowed to retire as a four star general allowed Petraeus to keep a pension of $208,000 per year. Other military leaders have lost ranks for far less than the actions taken by General Petraeus.
