The Blame Game

Posted by on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 2:43 PM

This is funny...

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford released another statement today, this time blaming her husband’s affair on the declining moral values in America.

“Of course I’m not saying that Mark is gay,” Sanford said, “but he may as well be. The moral decay in this country has claimed another victim and this time it was my family. Our marriage was perfect until these laws started passing around the country. Clearly the slow dissolution of the sanctity of marriage in America seeped into Mark’s psyche until he no longer felt compelled to abide by our vows.”

...but it's a parody, people.

Oh man that is good!! Just to think everytime I fuck another guy or put his cock in my mouth somewhere a straight guy is cheating on his wife!

I really, truly didn't think this was parody at first. It's exactly what the wingnuts have been saying now for the last month or so. Beck and his ilk are becoming increasingly unhinged and the naked insanity of their world view is harder than ever to discount.

I didn't realize it was a parody either. I'm still not totally convinced.

What #2 said.

How does one parody something that already has descended into self-paraody?

How astonishingly sickening this is. Goes back to Conservative's belief that there is no morality without religion and, apparently, there's no heterosexuality without religion either. Gay people marrying is making their husbands cheat with other women; gay people having rights makes heterosexual husbands lust for hairless gay twinks. So, if it weren't for Christianity they'd go out to the streets, shoot people, enslave minorities, and have never-ending homosexual orgies?

@1 HA! You'd better slow down there, Cato, or there'll be no decent straight marriages left.

Every time you have gay sex, G-d kills a kitten, and by kitten I mean a straight marriage.

Hey Cato,

Thanks for the smile, and take it easy on us, please.

But that's what defines GOOD parody: something that is so close to the form and content of the thing it's poking fun at, that it is difficult to distinguish it from the thing itself.

Satire, on the other hand, is pretty obvious by comparison.

Gays must have AMAZING time-management skills to pull that off.

It got me too. Sometimes it's good to be able to take deep breaths and laugh it off... it was certainly well-done.

Every time a gay man marries a straight woman, an angel has its' wings ripped off it by a fiery sword.

This is why gay men should be free to marry other gay men - there aren't enough angels to go around.

Do me a favor - Watch look at the Argentian mistress - notice how big her hands are on the michrophone, the somewhat large ears, the brow, the covered up adams apple if there is one covered up....
