Dumbf* can’t even come up with an original insult. As someone who had a bumper sticker that said “I’m from the shithouse side of Maryland,” I’ve seen it before from the late William Schaefer, once gov of Maryland. Our system is probably better at coping with lunatic governors than lunatics in the White House.
The remark came in 1991 — this later piece goes over the man’s obvious mental problems.
WaPo, 1993:
"Schaefer goes into a trough," says Blair Lee. "He'll go days and weeks when he doesn't function. He mopes around and he yells and screams and his staff covers up for him. This is the werewolf side of Don Schaefer. It's just below the surface."
And it was in that mood -- deep depression over the results of the 1990 election -- that Schaefer began his second term.
Walking up the center aisle of the House of Delegates, on his way to a swearing-in ceremony in early 1991, William Donald Schaefer leaned toward the Eastern Shore delegation and said, "How's that shithouse of an Eastern Shore?"
He was only kidding around. He really was. It was just a joke. But it was a joke born of his pain and frustration and anger about how the Eastern Shore had voted against him. And it did not go over well.
The Baltimore Sun noticed, too.
