Orgiastic Republican sex freak waxes moralistic about Spitzer
Filed under: National Republicans
But because that party and that media outlet don't exist, we'll have to settle for Republican group sex aficionado Roger Stone and Fox News.
We've written about the GOP operative Roger Stone before, and how the charmingly amoral hedonist rolls from S&M sex party to swinger gathering in between calling Hillary Clinton vulgar names. To his credit (?), Stone doesn't seem to actually believe any of his own horseshit, but does parlay it into presumably well-paying media gigs like this one on Fox:
Yes, that's the resigned-in-disgrace Dole aide whose forays into leather sex parties forced his ouster talking about how a self-righteous Spitzer got what he deserved. I know you'll be just as shocked as I am to learn that a Google News search for Stone's name plus the name of "family values" Republican David Vitter (who also was nailed in a prostitution scandal) turns up exactly zero hits.
Let's get the obvious out of the way. Self-righteous politicians are loathsome, hypocritical self-righteous politicians are vile, and Spitzer should be ashamed of himself. But if you're expecting Republican operatives like Stone to condemn Vitter, or Larry Craig, or whoever the perv du jour is, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
The point is this: an attack news outlet finding someone with a swift, polished tongue to do what he does best with it. Or possibly second-best, depending upon who you ask.

I'm still waiting on the much anticipated "How I Saved my Marriage" by Newt Gringrich. Or "How I Got Out of Service during Vietnam" by Rush Limbaugh. He has another one, too. It's called "Watch Out for the Blue Ones, They'll Get on Top of You." Family values....family values.

It all depends on whose ox is being gored.
Certainly, the left defended Clinton's far worse behavior involving numerous women and the law years ago.

I don't think you see the point, Sav. The Republicans always coat themselves with a patina of "Family Values". There lies the hypocracy. I don't quite know what the Democrats wrap themselves in. Maybe ignorant bliss? I dunno...

Eliot Spitzer claimed to a morally upright prig, Roger Stone never made any such claim for himself.
Stone has never been part of the Christian Right, Family Values wing of the GOP- and never claimed to be.
Stone is viewed in the GOP as a libertarian and a libertine. Tjhat he was right about Spitzer being a psycho is besides the point.
As far as TV is concerned- James Carville is just as outrageous on the LEFT as Stone is on the right.

Wonder what Spitzer's freak is? Bet it's a particularly creepy freak since the Pimp House made him pay extra up front.

Cheney, when he ran out of student deferments (I think he got five) to get out of Vietnam IMMEDIATELY got Lynne pregnant so he could get a "head of household" deferment. I don't blame anybody for not wanting to go to Vietnam, but you'd think this armchair warrior had charged up San Juan Hill the way he smears anybody who doesn't want to send American boys to die in stupid wars. These people.
