You think a gay man had that many wives? I mean, I know fundamentalist muslims have a thing for beards, but that's ridiculous.

That women starring in it should be lashed or, if it involves non-family males, stoned.

Whether men viewing it constitutes an offense against Allah is, of course, unaddressed in the Koran, or Shariah.

Next question?

So is scotch. This has not, however, prevented the majority of the Saudi Royal Family, much of the Iranian governing elite, and just about every other powerful individual in the Islamic world, from regularly enjoying the product in private, or when visiting abroad (most notably, in the notorious Lebanese discos, which in their heyday resembled Studio 54). One Saudi King in the '70s (can't recall exactly which one, but I think it's the freak who had his own daughter executed for attempting to elope), was known to be a flaming alcoholic.

That's awfully kind of you. I can't give either such a pass. I like Bill Clinton and understand why he did what he did. Politics is a wretched business and, considering LBJ, JFK and Nixon killed tens of thousands of our soldiers needlessly in Vietnam, Clinton's sin is, numerically, minor. Still, however, he killed a man he knew should not have been executed purely for political gain. Huckabee did the same. Should they be jailed for it? No. Even punished? No. They were given the right to make the decisions they did. And in Clinton's case, his decisions may have helped to elect our last great president.

But that doesn't mean I want either of these slimy fucks sitting on my good furniture, or drinking from any of the better glasses. However useful they might be, they are scum - walking, breathing shit. And on a personal level, we should never forget that. It should, in fact, be included as an asterisk in the history books. (*Executed a man of capacity so diminished he asked a death row guard to hold a piece of pie from his last meal for him, so he could eat it post-lethal injection.) (*Evangelical who got to play Pontius Pilate in a real life passion play, and did a spot-on rendition.)

I'm sure you're right -- no one in California would have cared. That's why he waited until after he'd left office to tell anyone.

Is anyone in California surprised? I mean, this is the guy who made analingus a household word.

What's the relevance? He's a playah. Did you not know he's a playah. At least the Mom chose life and at least he supported the kid financially. Though I'm sure the kid would have preferred some emotional being there kind of stuff, so Ahnuld's can't be as rightous as Bristol about the whole thing.

If you're asking whether I care -- no. Or, only a little. He did the right thing by supporting the kid, on a personal level should have come clean with his wife earlier, and I have minimal need to judge politicians by their personal lives. I wouldn't have voted for him the first time, would have the second -- exactly what I actually did -- if I had known about this.

The aspect I do potentially care about, as with so many others, is the hypocrisy aspect. Now, Ahnold didn't posture himself as a morality or family-values candidate (cf., eg., Newt). Though he did make a big deal about how his playah days were all in the distant past. But his hypocrisy is no more than a 2 on the scale.

What interests me is how this would have affected the elections had it been known -- and how he managed not to have it widely known and reported before. You can't pretend that it would not have mattered to anyone in California, and especially in the R areas where he was most popular -- Orange County, the Inland Empire, etc. These are the conservative, so-called values voters who (for example) voted to amend our constitution to prohibit gay marriage.

Because, you know -- if gay people can marry, then straight people will start cheating on their spouses. Or something like that.


eta: Plus, of course, I'm talking about this because the PB is a little dull today. I assume you knew that.

Yeh, it's a lot more fun to pick on them when they're hypocRits. Did he really say the Playah days were past?

Well, he's free to play now. I'm expecting an uptick in STD in the greater LA area.

Someone (George Will?) apparently predicted on one of the Sunday shows that Huck not running means that the presidency will go to one of three people: Obama, Daniels or T-Paw.

Personally, I think only one of those has a realistic chance. But Newt certainly does not.

I also note the Romney raised a ridiculous amount of money in a day, and I've always believed that where the GOP money goes, the nomination follows.

I don't think Newt has a realistic chance. But, he is smart enough (he is, really) and popular enough to have an influence on the tenor of the party. He's suddenly sounding like the voice of moderation (though only on one issue), which is astounding. And, of course, he's getting slammed for being a party-traitor.

Well, let's not have any crazy talk. I think he's good at coming up with wacky-shit ideas, about a third of which sound interesting and the rest are unconnected to the way things happen on boring-ol' planet Earth. But I don't think that = "smart enough".

Only surprised it was a household staffer and not an office staffer.

Given the Kennedy family history, I'm surprised Maria didn't make sure all the female household staff was old, ugly, fat and/or lesbian to avoid just this scenario.
