The Coming Malestrom of Sex, and Thoughts

Just putting this out there.

The upcoming wave of hysteria that will sweep the nation over the DC Madame story will be unlike anything seen in America since the Salem witch trials. It will be 24-7-365 when it really gets going. Just get ready for it.

Personally, I think this is a step in the right direction. I don't care what party solicits prostitution - its illegal and therefore especially intolerable coming from public officials. This event will be an effective bloodletting that will no doubt put Washington on notice. Unethical behavior like this is what the right decried in Clintoon, so nobody should be defending it in GOPers just because there is an (R) in front of the name. I'm personally watching with popcorn - its like pouring alcohol on an open wound. Good pain.

Of course, the same people that will be howling for scalps now are the same defenders of Bill Clinton's numerous trysts and subsequent public lies, as well as the same people that gave Gerry Studds a standing ovation and re-elected him for another 14 years after he fled the US to have sex with a 17 year-old male page. They're also the same people who cheer every time former DC Gay Escort Service madame Barney Frank bangs his sippy-cup on the House floor. This we all know. It frankly is irrelevant to the current controversy, but it will help you to slap moonbats down with historical bi-partisan context.

I'm also predicting that we will see ABC name Republican after Republican in this scandal- one at a time for a nice drip-drip-drip going into 2008. They will systematically omit and ignore the legions of high-profile Democrats no doubt populating this massive list of phone numbers. ABC will expose itself as a willing PR/Media activist wing of the Democrat Party. This nonsense about ABC "struggling" to release more names and details is a load. They're trying to do preemptive damage control on the Democrats involved, as well as contacting lawyers, friends in government, etc. The ABC news division knows that they can't just exclusively bludgeon the GOP with this while still retaining their "objective" credentials any more than FOX News could to Democrats if it were doing the same thing in ABC's position .

Unless, of course, you're expecting the nation to believe that the GOP are the sole solicitors of prostitution in DC, and the Party of Clenis, Barney Frank, etc. are the high priests of morality. I know you're not that stupid.

Oh, and this. I've been suffering from a bout of Bush Admin fatigue of late. I like the guy and think that he's really trying, but his lame-duck status has rendered his already-tepid Administration effectively powerless. The only thing I really still support W. on is the war, and that's not because I'm in love with W. I'm in love with the military, so I want to see their sacrifices honored by winning decisively. President Bush may be standing pat with the Troops and that's fine, but the prospects of a Democrat takeover triggering a national and world-wide disgrace not seen in 35 years loom large. Bush is the ONLY thing between complete oblivion for the Military and what we have now. As some once put it, I want to defend him but he makes it really hard sometimes.

Everything else he has done (save tax cuts and SCOTUS justices) has basically amounted to what would've been passed under a Democrat White House. Open borders, pork out the wazoo, indecisive policy positions, general bumbling and incompetence, corruption (both parties), bad articulation of the policies and underlying philosophies, etc. have all left me with the same Bush Admin.-fatigue that I'm sure many of you feel. Its probably more big-and-dumb-government-fatigue than it is specifically Bush Admin. fatigue, but there it is.

Fweh. Whatever. The great wheel keeps on turnin'.

Thanks for the soapbox.
