Sex and Politics and Sex and The Villagers and Sex and....
By John Amato Monday May 05, 2008 1:00pmWhat are these Villagers drinking? Digby's got it.
That's right. Politics is really all about an image we form in our minds of politicians having sex. According to Wolff, it's all anyone ever talks about in private.
Now, I don't know about you, but among my friends, this just doesn't come up. Even among my female friends, where after a few margaritas we often become a little bit salty and indiscreet, it's rarely brought up. We might mention a little recurring George Clooney fantasy we have or speculate about the waiter, but I don't think it would have ever occurred to us to even think about the presidential candidates and their spouses in bed. We do know, however, that at least one major Village chatterer can speak of nothing else...read on
I gotta tell you, I think about sex, heck, I played with a pretty major Rock band for a while, but the thought of what our political nominees are doing on that front is like sticking my hand over an open flame. It hurts! Please, Villagers, stop hurting us with this idiotic nonsense. More Digby:
Wolff obviously sees the world the same way Dowd does --- the way they all do. Even the Village elder of Village elders, David Broder, is obsessed with the sexual lives of politicians in a way that is more than a little bit odd. (But then, that's the way provincial villages operate, isn't it?)
But Wolff doesn't stop with just speculating about the politicans' sex lives. He makes the assumption that voters are as obsessed with politicians' sex lives and speculates that their own sexual "deficiencies" are dictating their presidential preference...
I speculate on how we can get out of Iraq and universal health care when I think about Hillary and Obama. My God, these bastards are really trying to tear this country down. You are not a f*&king psychologist. I'm sure we'll get a Kurtzing on this one too. (Here's a few more) Try to make it all legitimate and such between the rest of the village elders. I've had enough of this. Lance Manion is next up.
Listen, normal people do not speculate about the sex lives of politicians and not because we're all that virtuous or prudish or hypocritical or because most politicians are not very pretty and picturing them in the sack causes us to shudder.

OYE!
Those people live in another world and if what they say is inconsistent with our perception of reality, oh well.
The Military Industrial Mediatainment Big Pharma Congressional Big Oil Complex pays these people to spew out high velocity low
viscosity bullshit. The return on this investment is a population of high consumption IDIOTS governed by Plutocratic Sociopaths.
It has worked to a certain extent for 200+ years. Now we have an election which is framed by the aforementioned Plutocrats.
Only C&L and it's kind can help make this system work.
Who gives crap what anybody does behind closed doors! As long as a politician doesn't make MORALITY an issue, I could care less. So unless they physically assault someone or are caught with their pants down, who am I to judge. As for Vitter, Craig and that moron from Florida, they reaped what they sowed.
P.D. @ 3:
Morality...talking about sex keeps the subject of our Terrorism and Genocide off the table. If we discuss congressional blowjobs maybe we won't talk about congressional complicity in WAR CRIMES!!!
people who fantasize about sex and especially public figures
usually have NO SEX LIFE and at the least their hands go to
sleep on them when they think about it. lol
You are right Marko, feed us, the serfs, a story about someones sexual piccadillos and watch the braindead masses eat it up. The sad thing is, Americans are waking up. And the braindead masses are the media talking heads. They don't want to talk about the abuses, because they are complicit in the Adminstation's crimes. By not doing their jobs, they have failed the American people.
See? This is why George Clooney should run for POTUS. Then I'd be able to talk about the sex life of someone I'd actually want to fuck.
I do think of them screwing us quite a bit of the time and that ain't pretty either.
Wolff is one sick twist.
Jeez this is a strange topic. Someone else posted about it today and I'll say here what I said at that site. I have never ever thought about this stuff and politics. Probably because I am more concerned what they do at their job, not on their bed. As long as they are two adults who consent to what they are doing, it's none of my business and I just don't care.
These writers are adults but they seem to think like ten year olds who think it's funny to sneak around and talk about sex.
This is disturbing on several different levels.
I have never thought of McCain doing it.or Cheney doing it or any of these folks doing it.I once wondered if Rush does it,and I heard something about Bush in a casket at Yale,but I try not to think about any of this kind of stuff.It really doesn`t have much to do with the "issues."Although I suspect that Kurtz,Broder,Dowd,and several others have some "issues" about which they seldom talk.
Really,I think we should move forward.
Hence all the resentment by the right of Bill Clinton.
The man actually HAD sex...and lots of it.
The most important aspect that John said...
these bastards are really trying to tear this country down...
I wonder how the crooks will spin this...

Theres more to the picture than meets the eye.
Remember the Karl Rove tactic....
Crooks and Liars will use every trick in the book to lie and deceive
to attack their opponent on their own weaknesses.
Thinking about some fat toad politician having sex is what we live for! One fleeting thought of that and you would have to use popcicle sticks and duct tape to keep it up. Sex for the neo-nutless is watching real people do it while they pound their little puds and think of their mommy naked. Big market for sheep herder gloves with velcro finger tips...........ceo
Can I assume I am not of this village if I have never imagined or fantasized a politician's sex life, especially the ones whose sex lives have been on display? OK, I might imagine what it would be like to be with Obama if he wasn't married, didn't have kids, and lived the life of a bohemian do-gooder, always at the frontlines of one protest of another. But c'mon, the man's gorgeous, so that's normal.
Um, what does it say about a person if they are obsessed with the sex lives of politicians? To me it says they need a little help because this just strikes me as abnormal. Either that or they are shallow people who don't have much of a life of their own.
Liberal AND Proud @ 12:
And that's why they hate us liberals! We get LOTS of sex. Good, healthy, sweaty, breakin' furniture, smoke a cig, break some more furniture, animals grunting in the night, break out the candle wax, the hell with the bed the dining room table is good enuf, let's go missionary position until this crap works it's way out SEX.
The villagers are fixated cause of their repression and frustration.
I wonder, did the British media go round and around on this topic with Margaret Thatcher?
(Bleach for the eyes is in the broom closet...)
I guess there is an infinite variety of topics for the press to cover, that has nothing to do with the war, economics or whether the US Constitution can ever be resurrected.
.
Speaking of SEX & Politics...
Can we...
IMPEACH BUSH for
BLOWING the JOB!
.
What else have they got? They are so drugged out on tranqs that they haven't had a woodie since clinton got caught with one that stimulated sex all over this land. Who the politico goofballs got their woody over at that time is going to be a crappy subject too. You know these guys went with Abramoff on a child hooker tour, Rush does and everyone ignores it. They know that since they aren't getting any, no one else should either. Poor Debbie, railroaded for sex crimes she didn't even commit, but got prison time for what the people that make the laws did commit.
no fair.
The Smiths @ 13:
Fuck you troll!! This site isn't about spin, it's about people like you...fools who think the right is lawful and just and honest, when they are none of those! They spew propagand like "the war on terror", "fight them over there instead of over here" and other crap that YOU support.
I can't think of ONE attractive politician.
Now I'll be shuddering all day from the images that crossed my mind.
to liberal and proud@17 Animals grunting in the night? Thats too funny, anyone got a smoke?...ceo
As much as I'd like to be on board with this 100%, the thing is... too many politicians stand up there and wax philosophical about family values and morals at the same time they are boning their babysitter/aide/local hooker/son's best friend's brother. When news like that comes up all the time, I'm guessing it's fairly easy to keep wondering who's gonna get caught doing what next.
YourMom @ 22:
I know what you mean. I had a mental flash of the McCains and well, I'm now going to have to sue C&L for what they did to me. I'll never be the same.
If that story about Maureen Dowd is true I think even less of her than I did, and who knew that was possible?
I think you're confused @ 21
When I say Crooks and Liars I am referring to
Bush, Cheney, Rove, Limbaugh etc.
"Sex and Politics and Sex and The Villagers and Sex and…."

Nope. I've got better things to do than think about politicians having sex. Yuck. Ewwwww. Shudder.
She's definitely f*cking Obama. (sorry, I had to do it)
Yes, there is - as I surmised in October of 2007:
a href="http://gonelikethewind.blogspot.com/2007/10/dixie-mafia-cronies-killers-drug.html">The Dixie Mafia - Cronies, Killers, Dealers, & Traitors
It goes on to mention the arson of Jill Simpsons home, her automobile "accident", and several other specious suicides involving various GOP cover-ups.
OK - I fubar'd the link...
The Dixie Mafia - Cronies, Killers, Dealers, & Traitors
marko @ 21:
You know Marko, the Smiths may not be trolls. I would first want to know if the "Crook and Liars" reference was a quote from Rove or did they mean "crooks and liars" ie a Demorcrtic politician?
The US Attorney's Office or the Northern District of Florida is where John D.R. Atchison, worked. He was arrested in Detroit in September last year on child sex charges and hung himself in jail. There just might be a big story behind the referenced one in the Smiths' post.

I really wish our pundit class would stick to f**king each other and stop f**king up the election process. Really, what a gaggle of insecure, shallow high school gossips.
P.D. @ 6:
Is just me or would sexual piccadillos be a great name for a breakfast cereal?
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 34:
It's just you. ;)
What the hell does Wolff "Pee Wee" Blitzer do in that "voting" booth anyway?
Shame on you Blitz!
Not a troll... just reading criminal reports and connecting the dots...
the word on the street is ...
United States District Attorney for NW Florida, Gregory Miller, resigned
because of the House Judiciary Committee is probing Miller's role in
suppressing a criminal probe of a firm closely connected to George W. and Jeb Bush
I'm too busy having sex to worry about the villagers' fixation on sex.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 34:
Don't they have a street in London called Piccadillo's Circus?
The Smiths @ 37:
LOOOK! A black man running for PRESIDENT!! Nooooo...Hide the women...get your guns!!
Remember.... the media will report the story
... And will be pressured to not report the whole real story.
On Monday, March 10, 2008 While Our Nation was distracted with meaningless
cable news propaganda, smearing Spitzer.....
5 US soldiers were killed in a Baghdad blast
CIA torture will continue, per Bush
the House Judiciary Committee has filed suit to force two White House officials to provide information about the firing of U.S. attorneys
more trouble for Carlyle group has surfaced
oil has soared to $108 per barrel
gas prices have reached a new record
a lawsuit has been filed claiming that the Fish and Wildlife Service is now in breach of its own mandate
an AP investigation has revealed that a vast array of pharmaceuticals are in the US water supply
a former Pentagon official has written a book criticizing the Bush CIA and other US officials over the US-led Iraq war
The Iraq war will top 3 trillion dollars
AND the Bush controlled media failed to mention what Spitzer wrote in the Washington Post on Feb 14
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/13/AR200802...
Again, for those interested, I posted a link at >b>30-31 that covers much more detail, and has links to a variety of credible conjecture. Remember that BushCo and Rove have held Alabama/Panhandle politics in a stranglehold for some time. And as was pointed out earlier, I have been waiting for the shoe to fall with regards to Miller. Question is, will he now turn state's witness or will he be found dead in a bathtub beside a suicide note that doesn't match his handwriting. In Valdosta.
Yuck!
repugs are beyond weird.
And these asshole worry about Rev. Wright. oh wait...could it be?
Um, Liberal AND Proud at 17, got any plans for the evening ?
Can you say "projection?" Say it with me: pro-JEK-shun! Yes, very good!
Dr. Know @ 42:
DR.,
The link to Dixie Mafia... didn`t work.Is there another way?
Its at post 30.
Take care everyone.
Including all the patriots in the Justice Department, CIA and FBI.
I have a feeling they will be speaking soon.
The Bush Crime Family cant smear and silence everyone.
Thanks.I found it.Very interesting reading.Keep up the good work you`re doing
In the article about Miller, it is mentioned that he was going to work for a new branch of Beggs and Lane, currently in Pensacola but opening a new branch in Tallahassee. How interesting. I'm a Pensacola native. Mr. Beggs introduced me to cocaine in the 1980s. They have been up to their neck in backdoor issues forever. Also, a certain Mr. Ciano. They run the panhandle. So glad I moved. Hope these guys are going to have some Florida Sunshine in their business.
Anybody see that recent PR picture of Chimpy pressed up against the wet t-shirted interns at the WH !?
That's f***ed up! The closest I've ever come to wondering about politicians sex lives was in 1976 when I wondered if former First Lady Jackie O would like to hook up with a horny 16 year old boy.
The Smiths @ 47:
working link
ferrofluid, I am not sure I want to see that picture of Bush. But, please do tell where one may view the newest atrocity.
ferrofluid @ 50:
For real?I`d love to see it and shoot it to the emails of all the majorMSMlouts as well as Ken Starr
My fantasy has always been with Barbara Bush (pearls on), in leather, with a squeeze bottle of chocolate sauce and a whip, as pappy chases her around the mansion with his wee noodle flopping around-- getting hot hot hot. ;)
As much as you may not agree with this theory, it doesn't mean it's complete bull. I know many people who have voted based on non-policy issues, and who/what/when/where/how the candidate fucked has played a role in a few of their choices. Sex gets people's attention, Iraq figures do not, lack of cash flow gets people's attention, C-SPAN does not. Sometimes you've got to go to the lowest common denominator. I think Obama could benefit from a surrogate exploring this theory.
Or not. Whatever, just a thought. I'm only for the Democratic candidate, whomever that will be.
