Politics / Sex Is This Thing On?
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 10:29 AM
There may be a John Edwards sex tape out there somewhere—and Elizabeth isn't the co-star. The source of the sex-tape rumor is the same guy who claimed to be the father of Edwards's mistress's child—campaign aide Andrew Young—and he may have a grudge and he's definitely got a book deal, so... grain of salt and all that.

He was boning the campaign videographer.
If she was smart she should have captured that for some insurance

Hey, if you're retarded enough to cheat on your dying wife during the most publicity-saturated time of your life, you're probably retarded enough to film it.
That said, I really miss a Democrat that speaks forcibly about workers' rights, even if his dick is in an ugly woman.

"Andrew Young just signed a deal for a book reportedly telling of a sex tape showing Edwards “taking positions that weren’t on his official platform” with his former mistress."

Who wrote the press release? Rodney Dangerfield?

This is one sex tape that I have ZERO interest in watching.
Not that I liked either the Pam Anderson or the one by that spoiled little rich girl Paris Hilton either.

I know, right 7?
Dominic, in the same breath that he ridicules drivers to champion bicycling and non-harm to the environment, gloats about eating meat.
then shuts off comments.
What a fucking joke, Dominic.

What's heelarious is that Stranger writers will completely ignore logic to indulge in their own vices and whims. Unnaturally stuff geese to engorge their livers, while ignoring the mountains of evidence that foie gras is an inhumane product and ignoring the hypocrisy of large scale commercial farms that not only slaughter animals but degrade the environment to supply Lark with foie gras = okay, along with blocking traffic to go on a bike ride, stealing wine from QFC, licking doorknobs, besmirching political candidates (who later do more for the gay community in two terms than Savage could ever accomplish in six lifetimes)... on and on and on. I guess it's reassuring that most Slog writers never actually went to journo school, so anything they write in their "newspaper" can be completely ignored and understood in the context of them trolling for comments to pay for Savage's vacations. What I would love to see is an expose in the Stranger on wage disparities - Savage jet sets around the country (carbon footprint, bitches) while no other Stranger writers can afford to leave the county on their "staycations". How long before a revolt against the Slog ruling class?

No, YOU'RE a joke,
Mr.-regurgitating-the-bullshit-of-your-employer and betraying everything you used to be.
Your friends read this blog and mourn what you have become.

@ 13) Let me explain the joke (at the risk of making it unfunny). In one post I compiled the three things that generate the most comments--and then said the most sensationalistic, inflammatory things I could say about them--but then turned off the comments. It's parody of us, the comments, the SLOG, me. It is a joke. Be angry if you must, but that just makes it funnier.

dear Mr. Holden:
please we do not like parody or humor in Seattle; it's tricky and "intellectual" to have all those double and triple reverse ironies going on.
No, we'd like our humor to come with a little caption, like this.
"OK, everyone, want to hear a joke?"
"Yes, sounds fun!"
"OK -- how many Seattleites does it take to change a light bulb?"
"Um, you know, you should really invest in those new low carbon footprint bulbs, they last a long time.
"And have you thought about how always using light bulb-changing as the premise of a whole family of "jokes" could be encouraging people to not use more responsible light bulb practices?
Now, what was your joke again ....?"

Apparently Dumbinic went to the Brendan Kiley Skool of Joke Telling, where there is only one lesson:
1) Make a bunch of shitty asinine comments on a "blog"
2) When people call you on it, say "it's a joke"
3) When people call bullshit, and tell you that jokes are usually a) funny and b) understandable,
4) Say "fuck you" and "it's just a blog, I can say what I want"
I do believe Brendan Kiley Skool of Joke Telling charges tuition for this.

Dominic: you went there, you took pictures, you posted them. At best, this post is made entirely of snark. At worst, it is a joke (which you and I both know it isn't)
To include Nathan's photo, to try to switch it up to be a joke, all of it...what a betrayal. YOU are the joke. You.
