Politics, Thanks To Sarah Palin, Rises Out Of The Gutter

by tristero

There was a time when a Senator’s career and presidential aspirations were utterly destroyed because he was photographed with a bikini-clad young woman not his wife on his lap. There was a time when a popular president trying to kill bin Laden was accused of wagging the dog to distract attention from conservatives’ obsession with his leisure-time activities involving a young intern and a cigar. There was a time when politicians resigned in shame when they were caught soliciting sex from interns or in bathrooms or from hookers.

Those days are over, and we have Governor Sarah Palin to thank for it. It took a Republican to go to China. It took a Republican to nationalize insurance companies and the banks. And now, it’s taken a Republican to make the country ok with adulterous politicians.

Today, our politics is elevated. We are above such tawdry sensationalism, at least when it concerns Republican women, who remain virgins until they marry and then only fuck make love submit to their husbands for procreation.

Indeed, not a single blog I read regularly nor any mainstream news source has reported that the National Enquirer is so confident they would win a libel suit that they have named Sarah Palin’s alleged lover.

I don’t think I’ll mention it either.
