But What Has It Got To Do With Politics?

S.M. (what a great set of initials) McCain is blogging about a blogger busted for incest. Since it is a political hit piece you know how it runs. The miscreant is a left wing blogger who was a big Obama supporter.

It is just a matter of time (human nature being what it is) until some prominent R gets found with a 15 year old and the Ds will claim moral superiority because "at least an 18 year old can consent." Yeah. The cad waited until his daughter was of age.

Of course the incest loving blogger could go all biblical on us and say that he liked her a Lot.

I don't think these kinds of stories say anything one way or another that is useful about politics. I'm reminded of one of Reagan's best friends and big money boys dying in the arms of his mistress while RR was President. Bloomberg I think - something like that.... (some one remind me if you know)

Gossip is no doubt interesting (Larry Craig?) but what does it have to do with politics? Well it does draw eyeballs. And since it is Christmas time I'm going to get in the spirit and sell something.

Song (comedy bit?) #11 (Green Chri$Tma$) on this compilation is particularly relevant.

H/T Instapundit who seems to have quite in interest in sex which allows me to indulge while claiming a smidgen of moral superiority. Which of course if found out will automatically make me morally inferior. But by outing myself on the subject.... Well it never ends. But it isn't, except in the crudest precincts, politics. A certain A.S. - take note.

Insulting Comments

I have been receiving some particularly insulting comments lately from a certain commenter so here is a preempt:

Some of what I'm about to say regarding M Simon's publicity stunts is so childishly simple, I fear it may be patronizing to explain; I apologize in advance. Permit me this forum to rant. Will someone please explain to me what it is in our lives that can possibly make someone acquire public acceptance of Simon's putrid invectives? Because I certainly have no idea. Superficial pseudo-intellectuals create an ideological climate that will enable Simon to intensify or perpetuate blackguardism. That said, we mustn't lose sight of who the real enemy is: M Simon and his debauched minions.

Simon has -- not once, but several times -- been able to impose theological straightjackets on scriptural interpretation without anyone stopping him. How long can that go on? As long as his eccentric quips are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and free people from the spell of cameralism that he has cast over them.

You don't have to say anything specifically about Simon for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should lend a helping hand. What does Simon have to say about all of this? The answer, as expected, is nothing. One thing is certain: I can easily see him performing the following virulent acts. First, Simon will descend to character assassination and name calling. Then, he will permit simple-minded caitiffs to rise to positions of leadership and authority. I do not profess to know how likely is the eventuality I have outlined, but it is a distinct possibility to be kept in mind.

Should you need help with an insulting rant here is the rant generator. A real time saver.
