Many have noted the inability of the MSM to note party affiliation when it's a Democrat being an ass. The latest example of this is Rep James Fagan, a (D) representative in the Massachusetts state legislature. Regarding "Jessica's Law", which would mandate a 20 year sentence for child rapists, he said he would
“rip apart” 6-year-old victims on the witness stand and “make sure the rest of their life is ruined.”
In a fiery soliloquy on the House floor, Fagan said he’d grill victims so that, “when they’re 8 years old they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”
So he's an ass, he's a Democrat, but I repeat myself... OK, that's unfair, I'm sure his comments appall some Democrats too. I would just like the news media to identify party affiliation consistently.

***Update: From Pat R, a list of Mr Fagen's affiliations:
ORGANIZATIONS: Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers; Taunton Boys & Girls Club (Board of Directors); Taunton Little League; Taunton Youth Basketball Coach; Massachusetts Bar Foundation; Massachusetts Waterfowlers, Inc.; Babe Ruth League; High School Umpire; Bristol Ducks Unlimited; Southeastern New England Area Boys' Clubs of America (past Chairman).
Lots of child centered orgs for a man who can speak that way about how he would treat child rape victims.
