snicker
It’s only Wednesday and we’ve had one weird news week already:
* Eighty-one year old paratrooper takes down 15 year old mugger and kicks him in the teeth.
* Darth Vader wallops the daylights out of Jedi master, camera crew, hairdresser in England.
* F1 Racing president Max Mosley caught in Nazi sex orgy.
* US Senator’s husband caught getting his jiffy lubed.
Okay – what’s next; bring it on world, I can take it.
This calls for a deployment of the Clinton Warroom Talking Points, v 2.0.
– The cops are a little bit nutty, a little bit slutty.
– It’s strictly a personal matter.
– Everybody lies about se… er, I mean hires prostitutes for oral sex.
– It wasn’t actually sex.
– Unlike the current occupant of the White House, nobody died when this honorable man visited prostitutes.
– He couldn’t help it… it’s this damn Bush war, making it so he can’t think straight.
– This is nothing more than a Republican perjury… er, I mean prostitution trap.
– Ken Starr is an odious, partisan hack.
In all seriousness, isn’t there some way we could use this to make Elliot Spitzer resign again?
I’m surprised no one commented on this yet.
I knew it could be done much cheaper then Spitzer’ exuberant and pricey orgasms
Rob: As a Michigander I’ve heard that street name so much that it just doesn’t click over that way anymore.
Wonder if she’s gonna have HIM standing beside her at the presser ?
Apparently Troy needs more Hooters.
Looks like the ‘dillo narrowly escaped yet again.
Big Beaver?
*snork*
She’s probably out of town a lot. Either that or she’s not out of town a lot. Either way, I think he should get a pass.
You know, please remind me every so often to just stay out of the Hot Air comment section.
Maybee,
I read the comments over there, and I could see you were uncomfortable with the mocking of the cow/senator.
I kept thinking, “how could anyone be surprised at that?”. This was simple honesty, and people having a little fun at anothers’ expense. No big deal in my book.
Wait till this hits some of the really fun blogs.
Absolutely! There’s only so much a man can endure.
Speaking of which, how about poor ol’ Spitz? Sure he’s a knob and should have known better, but this is like using goldfish for bait. Plumb unsporting. Far better men have fallen for less.
I think he should get a pass too, and Spitzer should never have been targeted and crucified the way he was. These inane sex scandals are starting to make Americans look like a bunch of hysterical, trussed-up bunch of hypocrites. Like Quakers on Viagra.
It’s so bad we look like two bunches.
The Spitzer deal is really a money-laundering scandal. It’s just that the press can’t resist the sex angle. So there’s your cast of trussed-up hypocrites…
If my bunches were trussed up that tight, I’d be hysterical too.
Spitzer was crucified? I thought we were just laughing at him. And IIRC, he was planning to fold before we had any idea he had a problem.
rickinstl– I don’t care if Stabenow is mocked. I don’t like the idea that somehow her looks were responsible for his failings.
He married her just 5 years ago, when she already looked like she does now. He’s married. He’s ugly, he’s fat, he’s 46, and he wanted something he couldn’t get on the open market. What he can get is someone that looks like Debbie Stabenow. What he wanted was a 19 year old hot chick. That’s his problem, not Sen Stabenow’s (toward whom I have no good will, I’ll add).

Make Americans look….to whom?
Every country has sex scandals, btw. Why would we worry if some other country doesn’t find ours titillating enough?
He’s ugly, he’s fat, he’s 46,
Why are you avoiding talking about his winning personality MayBee. It’s always been all surface for you, hasn’t it?

Reminds me of a pair of pants I have somewhere in the closet. The pants that is.
a possible prostitution ring in a room at the Residence Inn near Big Beaver and Interstate 75.
Rob, it gets BETTER. Big Beaver is exit 69 off of 75. Swear to God.
69 Dude.
Again, there’s that “it’s not a crime when a Democrat does it” attitude.
This is really getting scary. Are you that worshipful of power? Do you have any comprehension how letting some people off destroys the rule of law?
If you don’t think people should be prosecuted for soliciting, then petition the legislature to change the law. But until that happens, everyone must be held to the law equally.
HEY!
Oh, you’re talking about Stabenow’s husband.
Carry on, then.
It’s always been all surface for you, hasn’t it?
OK, I’ll admit this…he was with Air America, so perhaps he and “Kasey” were intellectual equals.
From her MySpace Page:
Stabenow’s name is different than her husband’s. That’s so hot.
I couldn’t quite tell from the story…what party is the good Senator Stabenow in?
“I think he should get a pass too, and Spitzer should never have been targeted and crucified the way he was. These inane sex scandals are starting to make Americans look like a bunch of hysterical, trussed-up bunch of hypocrites. Like Quakers on Viagra.”
Cynn –
Spitzer was a total and complete fuckhead. EVERYBODY hated him, and was praying for his downfall. If he hadn’t set himself up as a fascist dictator, he probably could have weathered the storm.
Spitzer is/was an absolutely out of control, egotistical piece of offal.
Did you notice who came forward to defend him?
NOBODY. That about says it all.
Yep, ugly, fat, old, opposite. These triggers that set off the response, and they work as well on you as they do on me. But these qualities are only germaine to any kind of electabilty. We’re playing the same old games.
Could it be time to actually consider issues and the course of the country? At this point, here’s what I see: Obama’s lash-fluttering and Hillary’s breastplate politics and McCain’s wizened soldier routine.
This will be a critical election, for reasons I cannot even explain to my child. I need to know I am doing my best for the future.
Is life so dire, cynn, that we can’t take a few moments to discuss a few sex scandals?

Only the scandals that make Americans look more European. You know, the ones where the dude is wearing a vinyl jumper with a bowler hat and big teardrop painted on his face. And the the chick has the big Gabe Kaplan arm pits.
Be as funny as you like, al.p. It’a the beginning of the end.
The End
Sorry to be such a downer; I feel like a Goth in a room full of Asberger types,
Be as funny as you like, al.p. It’a the beginning of the end.
Disparaging Italians now cynn? That’s beneath you.
At least you always know where their hands are.
