Poor Persecuted Patrick Fucking McCrory is back in the news again, whinging about how no one wants to work with him after engineering one of the most scientifically illiterate, unenforceable pieces of hot garbage that has ever hit a law book:
Former Gov. Pat McCrory says the backlash against House Bill 2 is making some employers reluctant to hire him but he’s currently doing consulting and advisory board work.
Yes, well, if I babysit for a neighbour and burn their house down, I don’t bloody well expect a glowing fucking review from them, do I.
McCrory has been appearing frequently in interviews with national media outlets to defend the controversial LGBT law, but he hasn’t announced what’s next for his career. In a podcast interview recently with WORLD, an Asheville-based evangelical Christian news website, McCrory talked about his challenges on the job market.
The former Republican governor says HB2 “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, ‘oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ – which is the last thing I am.”
People are reluctant to hire you? I wonder what that feels like.
McCrory explained more about his current situation in an interview Monday evening with The News & Observer.
“I’ve currently accepted several opportunities in business to do work that I’d done prior to becoming governor in consulting and advisory board positions, and I’ve also been exploring other opportunities in academia, nonprofits and government,” he said. “And I’ll hopefully be making some of those decisions in the near future.”
McCrory declined to name the companies he’s working for. But the former governor said that he’s been considered for part-time university teaching positions – he wouldn’t say where – but that academic leaders “have shown reluctance because of student protests.”
“That’s not the way our American system should operate – having people purged due to political thought,” he told The N&O.
Ah–I see. When it happens to trans people, it’s “business freedom” and “common sense.” But when it happens to you, you’re being “purged.”
McCrory said he’s also “had ongoing discussions with the Trump administration, but at this point in time nothing has come to fruition.”
In the earlier podcast interview with WORLD, McCrory said the liberal groups opposing HB2 have harmed his reputation. “If you disagree with the politically correct thought police on this new definition of gender, you’re a bigot, you’re the worst of evil,” he said. “It’s almost as if I broke a law.”
You probably did, judging by the prevailing legal opinions on Title XI. But I digress.
McCrory made the case that the core of the HB2 debate is an attempt to redefine gender. “You ask the doctor if it’s a boy or a girl; you don’t ask the baby,” he said.
HB2 struck down local nondiscrimination ordinances and requires transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender on their birth certificate while they are in schools and other government facilities.
You ask the right doctor if it’s a boy or a girl, because the wrong doctor is going to point out you’re full of shit.
Feel free to continue presenting your foot for shooting. I’d be happy to oblige.

The mildly deranged penguin is considering offering a course on arsehole purging. She’s still inventing it, and the rationale behind it, but has decided one of the early steps is a through cleaning with an anally-inserted rusty porcupine. She thinks extracting the client’s head before inserting the porcupine may be a preceding step, but is currently doing tests…
Other steps in what she has decided will be a ninety-plus step program are still to be invented, as is the rationale. Suggestions?
When it happens to trans people, it’s “business freedom” and “common sense.” But when it happens to you, you’re being “purged.”
Clearly McCrory hasn’t realized the “people” part of “trans people” – probably because to McCrory there is only one “person” in the world that matters.
