Palin and rape kits

...and the smoking gun.

Yep, as Mayor of Wasilla she signed off on the legislation that would make rape victims pay for their own rape kits. Obviously I don't have to explain the implications of this, but we'll have no more "SHRIEEK! SEXISM!" talk from the Republicans, PLEASE and THANKYOU.

Another GOP gay sex scandal?

Oh, I know! They're getting so boring. But what the hell; one more for the road. This one's just at the rumour and innuendo stage, but if it's true, it's -- well, to me? A gift. To the GOP? HAHAHAHAHA!

Republican big cheese Senator Trent Lott recently announced that he's resigning in a kind of out-of-the-blue way. Lott's known more for racism, but homophobia also looms large in his voting record, which is the usual fucked-up mess of good Christian family values anti-gay bullshit. Now it's being *rumoured* that there may be more behind Lott's resignation than a desire to spend more time on the fairway -- it might be a pre-emptive strike against a scandal that's about to blow. Dan Savage ruminates on the possibility:
"The Internets are abuzz with the news that Trent Lott may have suddenly resigned from the Senate today because he was involved with Benjamin Nicholas, a gay escort and an occasional Stranger contributor. Nicholas wrote a terrific piece for us last year chastising Mike Jones for outing evangelical cocksucker Ted Haggard..."
Heh. It's just a rumour, but if it's true, it's... GOP business as usual!

And another one's gone and another one's gone...

...another one bites the dust!


Another political sex scandal rears its ugly head:
"A former state lawmaker was convicted of raping two former foster daughters during physical examinations that he claimed would help them sell their reproductive eggs." [...]
Niiiiiiice. Physical examinations? What kind of physical examinations?
"The two former foster daughters testified that Klaudt touched their breasts and genitals while conducting what he said were examinations to determine whether they were healthy enough to donate their eggs. The examinations occurred in Klaudt's motel suite in Pierre during the 2005 and 2006 sessions of the South Dakota Legislature, and one of the young women was a page during one of those sessions." [...]
Let's review: A fat gross old man talks his 16-years-old foster daughters into having sex (*gag*) with him (*heave*) by convincing them that their ovaries are little cash registers they can use to make big big dough in an "Eggs-for-Dollars" scheme. But he has to check first to see if their ova make the cut. Over and over, ova and ova.
"The first woman, now 19, testified last week that Klaudt performed as many as 10 tests on her, but only three occurred in Pierre in his motel suite. She said she went along with the exams because she believed the egg donation scheme was real and she hoped to make thousands of dollars.

The second woman, now 20, said she initially wanted Klaudt to examine her because she wanted to make money donating eggs and wanted to find out whether she was fertile. She said that when he examined her in the Pierre motel room in early 2006, she asked him to stop a genital examination three times but that he did not stop." [...]

Ewwww, what a scurvy slimy scumbag. And his party affiliation? (Drum roll, please):

"Klaudt, a Republican, served eight years in the state House from 1999 to 2006 and left because of term limits."

Gotta love them Family Values. On that note, I'm off to shower. Ten times.

Georgie slams "Hollywood values"

Obviously Saturday's Meeting of the (no-)Minds in Salt Lake City got Georgie's attention. During his tribute to the new chairman of the joint chiefs yesterday, Georgie made a desperate ploy to re-package the GOP as the "morals-and-values party", as he disparaged what he called "Hollywood Values":
"Many people are surprised when told about the admiral's show business roots. After all, he is humble, well-grounded and filled with common sense. Not exactly what one thinks about when they think of Hollywood values," said Bush."
Harrumph! Damn those Hollywood values! But it might prompt one to wonder: what does one think about when they think of "Hollywood values"? Clandestine and anonymous sexual encounters in public places? Illicit and adulterous trysts with sex trade workers? Meth-fueled gay sexcapades? Pedophilia??? Uh, "Hollywood values" might not be a road the GOP wants to go down at this point, they're probably well past their "best before" date on that one.

Law & Order guy is in

Fred Thompson, also known as Arthur Branch, the DA on "Law & Order", is officially in the race for Republican presidential nominee.

I can't see any reason why the bible bangers in the "heartland" wouldn't vote for him. Look at that sweet picture of him and his daughter, it just shrieks "Family Values".

What? That's not his daughter? Oh. Did he at least wait until he was divorced to hook up with her? Good enough! Family Values!
