You Know, Here's The Funny Thing

I hate massages. Just as is the case with watching basketball, I would pay not to have one, if I had to. I love s3x, though.

Another reason I'm not a Republican.

Um, I think "massage" is a euphemism in this context. Just saying. And I think your political persuasion has little to do with it.

You miss my point, Jane. I know that "massage" is a euphemism (though there are people who really do pay for massages--Patricia is one of them, and is perennially upset with me that I don't appreciate them, because it means that I can't give a proper one, not having the slightest notion of why they're desirable).

My point is that it's obvious that it's a euphemism, and that Republicans are particularly vulnerable to charges of hypocrisy on this issue, given that they're supposed to preach morality and fidelity to one's spouse. The notion that they don't like sex, though, is a little unfair, and in fact nonsensical. A Democrat can get away with this much more easily (the most notable example being Bill Clinton--Senator Packwood was forced by the feminists to resign for much less).

On the subject of political scandals, has anyone seen this?

Mike Griffin is being accused of destroying tapes. I thought this whole IG thing was a tempest in a teapot, but it looks like Griffin's getting some serious heat.

I mean EFFING PLEASE!

How retarded are our political officials?

If I've used prostitutes, I've owned up to it, and I've given it context. But if I am so pathetic that I can't live without a woman you know what I would do? I would find one and GET EFFING MARRIED!

I wouldn't become a prominant government official and then bang whores. Thats all I'm saying.

You've got it wrong Rand. Like the Democrats, Republican politicians love sex. Just with little boys, and not on television.

What's amazing is that this "little black book" only contains Republican names worthy of mention. Seems the Dems are smart enough to not use their real names and numbers. (Or, more likely, the Dems are being protected by their friends in the press.)

Think of the madam's client list as a private-sector version of the Clintons' FBI files.

Wicked: "I wouldn't become a prominant government official and then bang whores."

Is there any other reason to seek public office?

Posted by Brian Swiderski at April 28, 2007 08:33 PM

WickedPinto;

According to the article, he is married.
