Politics / Sex Today In Defenders of Traditional Marriage

Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:32 AM

Sen. David Vitter, the conservative senator from Louisiana who got caught banging whores, sent out a fundraising letter this week that invoked all the usual conservative Republican boogiemen—"trial lawyers, union bosses, environmental zealots, abortion activists, socialists and gun grabbers"—except the homos coming to destroy marriage as we know it. Which just goes to show that Vitter the Shitter does have a sense of shame.

And South Carolina governor Mark Sanford tells the AP that he lied at his press conference: he had more than five encounters with his mistress. Lots more. Including and encounter on...

...what was to be a farewell meeting in New York chaperoned by a spiritual adviser soon after his wife found out about the affair.

I've done a lot of freaked out shit in my time—someone alert the AP—but I've never had a threesome with my spiritual advisor...

I thought Loveschild was your spiritual advisor. No, no, that's just wrong.

Dan, you need a better spiritual advisor.

If only we could harness the combined repressed sexual frustration of the conservatives of the world, we'd solve the energy crisis.

1 Fail, as always. I live my faith and its teaching inside and outside the church, as opposed to repubs, but what would someone like you understand about that.

5, Since you are are woman, do you remain silent in church as called for by the Bible? Do you refrain from braiding your hair, wearing gold, or costly attire? Do you believe that women should never have authority over men?

Oh right, it's okay for you to ignore those passages. You're only interested in the scriptures that can be used against others.

6, Since you are an asshole, do you remain silent, ever?

Posted by try it sometime! on June 30, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Dan, you should try it.

Oh, wait, you don't have kids do you?

Never mind ...

Dan, you're lying again. The trip was chaperoned. Was the sexual encounter? IT DOES NOT SAY.

Is this how you get child rape out of the DOMA brief? Just making shit up?

Yep.

Sanford, like most Republicans, is seriously unbalanced. His wife should just dump his ass.

Though as a follower of Nadalism, I do wonder who and what your spiritual adviser would be like...

Can you sue your spiritual adviser for malpractice? Not that there's any such thing as a "spirit."

Hyzenthlayk@ 9,

Thanks for the smile. I'd like to know, too.

Re: #9. It should be a sin to have no sense of humor whatsoever, and then proudly display said lack of sense of humor for all to see all over the gay internet.

It should be a sin. My spiritual adviser says so. Threesomes, though? They're allowed. Encouraged even.
