The first one is free.

Right on, smart guy.
But you have to understand, I wasn't referring to you, or your exhibitionism, exclusively. You are only of interest so long as "you" marks the intersection of so many different pathologies, smart guy. You consider it somehow insulting when your words are amplified, when you are sought by an audience, studied like a cockroach on a stick. But such an end is too good for you. We care about your orgasms about as much as we care for your bullshit. In that I'm sure we're not alone.
But I have no reason to be attacking you. It's a free contry. And you are just there, being yourself, typing, flirting, in the mirror, bloviating, jerking off . . . one more vicious monkey. How interesting is such a creature? Picking at himself, shitting his pants. The only thing worse than one of you is two. Three is more disgusting still . . . four is like halotosis of the eye sockets . . . what would four of you do, together, in a room? Would you all be riding the other's moustache? An orgy of teenage self love?
I'm glad we had this little talk.
Thanks also for giving me one "for free". You are the most gracious, pandering suckass imaginable. Good luck!

and now, back on track . . . GOVERNMENT DISABLED BY SEX . . . CAN YOU BELIEVE? EIGHT TIMES IN TWO MONTHS! WILL NEW, BLIND ADMINISTRATORS BE THE ANSWER . . . ?

It's not really even a good opportunity for dancing in the streets because one more powerful person has come tumbling down. After all, some powerful people are better than others, and when powerful people fall from the mighty, naughty force of their appetites, nothing about power is changed at all--quite the contrary. The law, the family, marriage--exit polls suggest that all of these will be the winner here, after being horribly maligned by a man who forgot his oaths to honor them.

Instead, what stories like this really do is to damage the reputation of sex. Whenever there's a sex scandal, I feel sorry for sex. I felt sorry for sex during the Larry Craig brouhaha last summer. What if he liked being married and procreating and giving anonymous head? What if that was his sexual preference?

I predict an interview with Diane Sawyer within two weeks, and a book deal announced shortly thereafter. It'll be written "with" someone else of course, but could still be an interesting read.
