New Rules For Republican “Fess Conferences”
Just as it is unrealistic to have a celibate Catholic clergy, I don’t think we should expect Republican office holders to be monogamous. They are like bonobo monkeys. They simply have to have sex with people other than their wives, so I think we should let them.
Otherwise I think we continue to run the risk of having them run off to South America and meet in airport bathrooms.
We need to come some accommodation that works for everyone. The way things stand, these Republicans are giving regular adultery a bad name. If the current state of affaires is allowed to persist how long will it be until people start to associate adultery with incompetence?
LOL Jason!
“Just as it is unrealistic to have a celibate Catholic clergy, I don’t think we should expect Republican office holders to be monogamous.”
Sure but there is a big difference, Republicans fuck adults not children.
Maybe he met Edwards to talk about their love children…..
Bonobos are known for their orgies and same-sex hanky panky.
Barney Frank?
Wow, read these emails from Sanford to “Maria.” I don’t know how reporters got them but their accuracy has not been disputed.
I wonder…did he send these on the state email system?
“The way things stand, these Republicans are giving regular adultery a bad name. ”
You’re right! Now we can’t cross the C&D canal without being accused of having an affair.
Holy crap! Let’s not all forget some of these other affair classics:
James McGreevey – Getting ass banged in state parks by his homeland security advisor.
Elliot Spitzer – Nothing like a good high priced hooker to end the day…
Tim Mahoney – I guess he didn’t pay her enough to keep quiet.
John Edwards – Its ok if your wife has an illness or disability right?
Gary Hart for President!
Bill Clinton – no comment
Both sides are guilty of this. Besides, the repubs are probably just taking the Dems lead. They are hurting for a new image.
oh yeah, you all heard what Ted Kennedy said to Mary Jo Kopechne when he found out she was pregnant right? “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it Mary Jo.”
Let me just say, I understand your poutrage. I feel you pain.
The thing is, I’m a liberal democrat. That’s why I pick on Republican fuck ups and losers. There are plenty of Republicans around for the other stuff.
If you don’t think there enough poutlets for you – maybe you should start a blog.
McGreevy, Spitzer — resigned.
Edwards — not in public office, so, according to Republican rules, not your business.
Hart — didn’t win, never held public office again.
Mahoney — You mean the guy who replaced Mr. Foley, the Republican child molester? Lost his relection bid one month after the story broke.
Clinton — held on articles of impeachment.
Kennedy — please see comments in other thread. (How old were you in 1969? And are you saying those novenas?)
Okay, let’s have the same standard for the Republicans , even if it’s just the most recent crop of philanderers.
Vitter ?? Still in Senate.
Ensign — still in Senate.
Fosella (NY) — didn’t resign, but didn’t run for re-election.
Larry Craig — promised to resign, didn’t, didn’t run for re-election.
Ed Schrock — didn’t resign after being outed but didn’t run for re-election.
While both sides of the aisle have their adulterers, liars and perverts, Republicans appear to be good at saying I apologize to God and my wife, and pretty bad at taking responsibility by resigning.
Kennedy — please see comments in other thread. (How old were you in 1969? And are you saying those novenas?)
15 and JFK was a male whore
It’s the hypocrisy, stupid. You know, those in glass houses…
Kilroy — that’s so cute…you think JFK was the subject of my post, and you think he got paid for sex.
Who knows? Maybe he was that good!.
I was not alive during the Kennedy stuff. Perhaps we could talk about stuff that happened in my lifetime?
Don’t worry UI–the Kennedy stuff continued–Vicky Gifford Kennedy–bore a brunt of your age group, as well as others to the mortification of those who loved them.
Progressive Mom
“and you think he got paid for sex.”
No, President Kennedy refused salary he did it for his country. That bad back wasn’t from when he crashed PT 109. It was from riding the WAVES.
Ted Kennedy and Mary-Jo was all a misunderstanding. But rumor has it, as they were driving that night of the accident Mary-Jo was concerned what would happen it the public found out about their affair. Ted, looked over and told her , we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

“I was not alive during the Kennedy stuff. Perhaps we could talk about stuff that happened in my lifetime?”
Shall we talk about Bucky Bailey and the Parkersburg plant?
Sanford’s press conference included a real Republican gem–he didn’t lie, he ‘made a fiction’.
He likely learned that from W and Cheney
“Made a fiction,” is too smooth. thats Clinton all the way.
“It depends on what the meaning of the words ‘is’ is.”
“It depends on how you define alone…”
“There were a lot of times when we were alone, but I never really thought we were.”
That is gold.
“That bad back wasn’t from when he crashed PT 109. It was from riding the WAVES. ”
From an essay by Richard Reeves: “It was a birth defect, and it was so bad that at a point in 1954, when he was a senator, he gambled on surgery in New York Hospital. He was told he probably would not survive because trauma triggers Addison’s episodes. No Addisonian had ever survived traumatic surgery. But the back pain was so great, he said he would rather die than live with it. He did survive the operation, though he was in the hospital for nine months afterward. That bit of medical history was significant enough that the Journal of the American Medical Association, in November 1955, ran a report without names on Kennedy’s operation. The patient was identified as “the 37-year-old man.”
But keep on laughing, Republican fucksticks. The public will judge.
So much for Repukes being in favor of absolutes in morality. Not a single one on here is willing to condemn Gov. Swinging Dick without trying to minimize the sin by pointing fingers at Democrats.
You are pathetic facsimiles of humans.
You can tell that Republicans know they lost this debate since they’re dusting off long-dead politicians.
Would be cool if I was a republican.
Then why are you apologizing for one?
Fess conference? I don’t care who you are, that’s some funny shit!
I’m just pointing the hypocricies of both parties.
No, Phil, the label of hypocrite doesn’t fit most Democrats. Scumbags, yes. But they don’t spend lots of time in their campaigns discussing sexual morals, or blaming others’ lack of morality for their voters’ crummy lives. That, unfortunately for us all, is the almost exclusive province of Republicans.
Even Spitzer, who was a hypocrite, didn’t rage at the moral aspects of prostitution as much as the legal aspects of it.

“You can tell that Republicans know they lost this debate since they’re dusting off long-dead politicians.”
LOL! Let’s move to Jimmy Carter the biggest mouse in the corner.
Geezer
“Not a single one on here is willing to condemn Gov. Swinging Dick without trying to minimize the sin by pointing fingers at Democrats.”
Sure he was a hypocrite. So what’s the point. Show we expose all the D & R hypocites. Clinton has affairs in the Whitehouse at least Gov. Swinging Dick to it elsewhere.
Geezer
“But keep on laughing, Republican fucksticks. The public will judge.”
Kennedy was the only president killed by his our protectors taking orders from Lady Bird.
“The public will Judge” Had picked by the liberals, right !
If we all just move forward under the assumption that Republican office holders are getting it on outside of marriage we’ll all be a lot happier.

Really. Get it all to the surface. Imagine the kick-ass parties, too. Woo! Leave your keys in the basket, fun-and-games at midnight!
Exactly. Now we’ll happily surprised to find out about people who are faithful to their spouses – instead of being constantly chagrined.
Jason,
Should #28 be qualified to specify “male” republican office holders?
I can’t think of any female repubs that have been caught with an illicit ding-dong.
A1 – why does it have to hetero?
Back at ya’ (from yesterday). 😉
It doesn’t. But I don’t know of any female repubs that were caught munching carpet either.
If they were, they’d probably be burned at the stake as witches.
Just saying – Sanford’s wife is good looking and rich too. Now I have got to see this Argentinian hottie.
Kilroy: You have it exactly backwards, and are missing the point besides.
I ought to type this in all caps: Democrats don’t subject each other to this litmus test, and don’t subject Republicans to it, either.
The obsession with personal affairs of the heart (or the pants) is destructive to politics in general.
Does Martin Luther King Jr.’s message mean any less because he was a philanderer?
At least Spitzer “bought American.”
Geezer
“The obsession with personal affairs of the heart (or the pants) is destructive to politics in general.”
Right on target!
Obvious when an elected official of either party drops his pants it’s a field day for the other party.
Sanford does need to step-down because if he has no morals as a person we must question his morals as an elected official. Clinton should have stepped down. All this shit goes beyond which party is righteous. I think we all loose when our elected officials and party official stoops so low as a person
Now Kilroy–don’t forget Jimmy Carter sinned in his heart (lusted)…it made the soundbyte then.
Joanne Christian
“Now Kilroy–don’t forget Jimmy Carter sinned in his heart (lusted)…it made the soundbyte then.”
And Chip Carter smoke dope in the Whitehouse!
Stop trying to get me in trouble with DL! LOL.
I think we have some more important issues to debate right here in Delaware. The democrats want to raise nearly every form of taxes to save the bloated state government. Education eats about one third of the state budget and DOE is the biggest fat cat.
I voted for Markell and I am still waiting for his top to bottom review of state government and what his action plan will be to reduce cost. I care more about who is screwing the people of Delaware than Sanford. He has no impact on our lives here in Delaware.
