Emergency meeting of the Village quilting bee and ladies circle jerk society

by digby

Ok, no use ignoring it. Back in the 20th century my mother gave me a great piece of advice: "never put on paper what the world can't see." In the 21st century, I would amend that to "never put on Facebook what the world can't see."

Apparently this sending pictures of your dick to women thing is a common habit among men who see themselves as players, but it reveals that they don't understand women very well. (A piece of advice, guys: women aren't as visually oriented as you are so if you want to be sexy, engage the mind with words, not pictures. Images of erections aren't going to get the job done no matter how impressive they might be.)

But listening to Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman crow and strut about cornering him into admitting his "crime" is far worse. This is the essence of the Village folks. We are about to be treated to endless nauseating lectures about propriety from a bunch of wealthy, decadent, television celebrities who will be rending their garments over the allegedly shocking sexual behavior of politicians as if they are the elders of a small American town circa 1957 --- as they pore over every. single. detail. Nothing could be more revolting, not even unpleasant pictures of a politician's erect member.

I honestly haven't seen a Hardball this turgid and throbbing since some time in 1998. Matthews is positively beaming. And he's going with the story for the full hour almost the full hour. Of course.

Update: Andrew Brietbart has apparently been vindicated and is now the Edward R. Murrow of our time. Awesome.

Update II: No, not only Democrats refuse to resign from office when caught with their pants down. I can't help but be reminded of Larry Craig who was caught trying to solicit a blowjob from a policeman in an airport bathroom. He served out his term.

Shoot me now.
