What’s up, Weiner?
Jul. 26th, 2013 12:45 pmSo the big buzz this week seems to be former Representative Weiner caught in yet another scandal involving sexting or, as Mr. Colbert so eloquently put it, sending “dicktures”. And American, once again, gasps in a collective sense of feigned shock, awe, and judgment.
If I could wave a magic dildo over my head and make one simple wish it would be simply for America to get the stick out of its ass and to focus on the things that really DO matter.
The fact is – people have sex. I know that shocks some people. But it’s true. Know what else is true? Different people have different kinks. (GASP!) And for my part, I couldn’t care less. If a Senator is on the D/L and seeking a bathroom BJ from a male intern, I don’t care. I also don’t care if a Representative who looks so keen and sharp in his custom-tailored suit sports women’s silk lace panties underneath. The question is – let’s focus less on the blow jobs and more on their 9-5 jobs. Are they effective in executing the responsibilities of office?
I am reminded all-too-well of the “Blue Dress” scandal under the Clinton administration. Did I care that he was accused of cheating on his wife? No. I didn’t vote for him because of his religion or marital status. Did I care that he was accused of having kinky sex on the desk at the White House? No. Heck, if I could, I would! What DID I care about? The fact that he said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Mz. Lewinski.” THAT bothered me. He lied. And that pissed me off. Had he just said, “My sexual life is none of your damned business!” or even, “Ya. I did. And it was hot! So what???” I would have been fine. But he didn’t. Why didn’t he? Simple – because so many of the American public rush to judge a person’s abilities based upon their own perception of morality. And I find that nothing short of hypocrisy at its worst. Why? Usually because the loudest of the morality police are so very often the people with the most skeletons in their own closet.
For cryin’ out loud – let’s stop caring about the scandals (if indeed they really are scandals) and instead focus on the abilities and results of our elected officials. Heck, I’d rather elect an effective politician who likes to be flogged by a prostitute dressed in a nun’s habit than a bible-carrying, T-totalling lame-ass who can’t get the job done.
That’s how I cast my vote. How about you?
