Political Porn Or Reality Check?

General Grievous' Dog sparked a firestorm on the lefty Virginia blog scene by posting pictures of the victims of Islamofascist beheadings in part to defend Virgil Goode. I would call it a Reality Check. Some may argue that what led up to the outpouring of indignation from the left were actually graphics he had created earlier poking fun at liberal bloggers. Some may not.

However that may be, the Dog has now been banned from the Virginia Political Blogs aggregator by its creator, Waldo, who has claimed the photos of American victims of Islamofascists are Political Porn. The VPB is Waldo's baby. He, of course, may do as he pleases.

I beg to differ with his (and many of his democrat/ic friends') concept of what constitutes political porn by way of illustration.

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE CONSIDER POLITICAL PORN:


No explanation necessary, I'm sure.


Now deceased, Rep. Gerry Studds(D) was discovered in 1983 to have seduced and had sexual relations with a 17 yr. old male page. He survived the scandal and served until 1996.


Rep. Barney Frank(D) - the one with his hand on his friend's patoot - hired a man he was paying to have sex with to also serve as Frank's aide. The "aide" ran a gay prostitution business out of Frank's home. Frank is still serving in Congress.


Moving on to the Senate; Ted Kennedy(D) (google Chappaquiddick if you are under 35) and Christopher Dodd(D) go back a long way together. One of their famous escapades, The Waitress Sandwich, involved a drunk Senator Kennedy throwing a young waitress onto Senator Dodd who was sprawled, also drunk, in a chair. Kennedy then threw himself on top of them both. Their dates (?!?) were in the restroom at the time. (Probably climbing out a window.) Penthouse Magazine and the Washington Times picked up the story. Both men still serve in the Senate.


The new Senator-elect from Virginia...
What? Oh. Sorry.


The new Senator-elect from Virginia, Jim Webb(X) has had a variety of occupations including lawyer and novelist. His novels are highly acclaimed and seem to follow the golden rule of budding bodice-ripper workshops, which is to insert stilted sex scenes every X number of pages. Webb has cornered the market on strippers and bananas, going so far as to carry the banana theme into his political campaign in '06. He has also imagined and written about what daddies with hard (or was it rippling?) muscles do to their little boys. He promises to continue writing while in the Senate. Webb will begin his first term as Senator in January of '06.


Another example of political porn, or what the dems consider highbrow entertainment, can be found linked (it's been there for at least 2 years that I know of) at the Virginia Democrats website. As head of his party in Virginia, Gov. Tim Kaine should get the credit for this one. Click on his picture. I wonder whose idea it was to make the sailors out to be gay?

And that, I think, illustrates what Political Porn is; cheesy, self-indulgent and narcissistic.

THE FOLLOWING ARE WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE CONSIDER THE REALITY OF ISLAMOFASCISM:
These are photos from the Beslan Massacre that began on Sept. 01, 2004. I could try to describe these scenes of horror with words. But the eyes are more powerful. The pretenders can play with words all they want and change their meanings. But look at these pictures. This is not political. This is our world. This is reality. This is what Islamofascists do.
