Hillary Clinton on YouTube: I'm F*cking Obama

Filed under: Sex

Inspired by Sarah Silverman, here's the Hillary Clinton mash-up:

Now someone needs to make a Bill Clinton response video, "I'm fucking Monica Lewinsky, and Paula Jones, and Gennifer Flowers, and ..."

GOP sex scandal of the day: Bruce Barclay

Filed under: Sex

barclay-with-rove.jpg
Republican county commissioner Bruce Barclay of Cumberland, Penn., steadfastly denied allegations that he'd raped a 20-year-old man. "This accusation of rape is ludicrous," he said in a statement. "It will be defended forever and is wrong."

Barclay was in the right. He had an iron-clad alibi. The young man was one of the prostitutes with whom Barclay had shared hundreds of sexual encounters over the years -- and he'd videotaped all of them, using high-tech surveillance cameras without their consent.

None of the subjects were aware they were being filmed and no permission had been obtained, Barclay admitted. According to a second warrant issued on April 9th, Barclay also admitted to hiring prostitutes on a weekly basis from the now-defunct website harrisburgfratboys.com.

Barclay admits to taping as many as 500 sexual encounters over the years. I know you're thinking what I'm thinking. Was one of these prostitutes Jeff Gannon?

You've got to wonder why gay Republicans stay closeted. Isn't the tent the party has pitched big enough to accommodate above-boards homosexual sex?

Well, maybe not yet. Swingers like Roger Stone can roam from orgy to orgy and remain high-level Republican operatives. The message: If it's your wife you swap, you stay an op. If it's guys you crave, stay in your cave. Or something.

Not everyone has turned on Barclay. He's got backers among the Mechanicsburg High School drama department, who named their theater after him due to Barclay's generous donations.

Word on whether his donations went to musical theater programs was unavailable at blog time.

Kinky politican sex makes the world go 'round.

Filed under: Sex

It must be spring. The politician sex stories are rolling in.

We all know about former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, who allegedly spent more on prostitutes than the median American household makes in a year. But like all tumultuous narrative events, these sex stories come in threes.

Guess what else comes in threes? The McGreeveys. Remember Jim McGreevey, the governor of New Jersey forced to come out during his administration due to an illicit extramarital relationship? Turns out he and his wife had regular three-way sex with his driver, something they called the "Friday Night Special" (she denies this, but McGreevey and the driver say it happened).

The former aide, Teddy Pedersen, told the New York Post and New Jersey's Star-Ledger he began having threesomes with the McGreeveys -- a routine "hard-core consensual sex orgy" they called the "Friday Night Special" -- in the late 1990s during Dina and Jim's courtship, and that the trysts continued after the couple's marriage in 2000, the papers reported online Sunday.

The most boring of this trifecta is your garden-variety affairs apparently undertaken by both Patersons during a rocky patch in their coupling. Yawn. But this third example is another invocation of the rare but politically deadly "governor jinx". Is this a burgeoning movement among governors? Trend story, anyone?

Someone needs to start following Tim Pawlenty around, just in case.

Here come the hookers!

Filed under: Sex

With the Superbowl over, the traveling whores of the world will soon be departing Arizona and heading to Denver and the Twin Cities.


As this article in the Rocky Mountain News points out, the sex business spikes when political conventions come to town. The first wave of online sex ads have already hit Denver, with offerings ranging from "Claudia the 'she-male porn star' to Erin the 'adorable college cutie,' whose $300-an-hour services are guaranteed to 'leave you breathless.'"

But if there's a dark cloud to the silver lining for the Denver ho's, it's that they didn't land the Republican convention instead:


"It would be a lot better for the sex workers if it was the Republican convention," she said. "We get a lot more business. I don't know if they're just frustrated because of the family values agenda."


For a preview of the sexual hijinx, check out this New York magazine article, The Girls in Their Summer Hotpants, which reported on the sex industry's preparations for the 2004 Republican National Convention. It's a fascinating tell-all that puts the lie to the "Moral" Majority--"Republicans are way freakier, probably because they’re way more repressed," says Mistress Natasha. "They can’t be kinky with their wives." I found this bizarre bit of roleplaying to be especially illuminating:


Another sex professional, 25-year-old Eve, says, “I don’t want to single out the Republicans, but they are majority male and a fairly wealthy group of people.” The on-again-off-again prostitute with streaked pixieish hair looks less like a hooker than a bartender at Galapagos—which made her ideal for one politically charged client last year. He’d asked her to show up at his apartment wearing a black hoodie with patches and no perfume or deodorant. “I said, ‘Do you want me to dress like a protester?,’ and he said, ‘Yeah.’ He tied me down, spanked me, and wanted to yell at me a lot. He said, ‘You bad girl! You smashed the Starbucks!’ He was a very conservative Wall Street banker, and he basically wanted to fuck the movement.”

What your candidate reveals about your sex life

Filed under: Sex

playboy%20cover.jpg
In addition to a stunning portrait of Tiffany Fallon as Wonder Woman (the outfit is quite literally painted on), the new issue of Playboy features a survey that offers a lurid glimpse into what your choice in presidential candidates says about your innermost sexual desires. Let's read it for the articles after the jump ...

The survey of 900 adults features plenty of evidence that Democrats are more fun in bed than Republicans, but I was most interested in the breakdown as it relates to presidential candidates. Among the findings:


-- 25% of Obama supporters say the sexiest part of the female body is the butt, compared to 14% of Giuliani's and 11% of Clinton's supporters.

-- 70% of married Hillary backers say they would probably or definitely not break their vows, compared to 56 percent of supporters for the thrice-married Giuliani.

-- 14% of Thompson supporters and 12% of Obama supporters claim to have sex "almost every day" compared to 5% of Giuliani and Clinton voters.


And consider the implications of this data table, which asks respondents to identify which presidential candidate is most likely to talk dirty in bed:

None of them - 37.0%

Hillary Clinton - 19.8%

Rudy Giuliani - 16.5%

Barack Obama - 7.6%

Fred Thompson - 4.4%

John Edwards - 4.0%

Mitt Romney - 2.9%

John McCain - 2.4%

Dennis Kucinich - 1.7%

Joe Biden - 1.0%

Mike Huckabee - 1.0%

Chris Dodd - 0.9%

Ron Paul - 0.5%

Bill Richardson - 0.3%


The mind boggles at what some of these candidates would actually sound like if they tried to talk dirty (Giuliani exploring the erotic possibilities of 9/11 ... Barack Obama talking about "the audacity of that badonkadonk" ... Kucinich saying, "Pick me up! Pick me up!"). Please add your own ideas in the comment section of this post; the one that makes the newsroom laugh hardest will get a suitably sexy prize sent to us by one of our classy back-of-the-book advertisers.

Also, please to enjoy the first dance of these newlyweds, who are clearly Obama supporters:
