OT: “Bob Rubin Just Wants to be Cuddled”

[briansd1]

Liberals are allowed to have affairs. And they should be free to do so in the open.

But conservative Christians are not allowed, in my opinion. Here we have 2 married Christian Republicans having affairs:

The conservative Christian congressman’s chief of staff, Renee Howell, confronted him last week over the rumored affair with Tracy Meadows Jackson, according to a source in the office. On Tuesday morning, two weeks after winning the primary, Souder publicly admitted the affair — without naming the staffer — and said he would resign effective
Friday.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/18/AR2010051803059.html?hpid=topnews

So they are meeting in the woods for sex. Sounds pretty desperate:

Less than a week before the May 4 primary, the sources said, anonymous callers told Souder’s Republican rivals he was regularly meeting a girlfriend for romantic trysts in state parks near Fort Wayne. One caller alleged that Souder and a staffer went together late at night to the remote and heavily forested Robinson Lake boat launch in Whitley County.

So this Congressman was for abstinence. If he can’t abstain himself (he’s a God fearing and church going guy), how does he expect teenagers and young adults to abstain?

That’s the height hypocrisy that davelj was talking about.

Bristol Palin is now getting $15,000 to $30,000 to talk about abstinence.

She should be promoting birth control. Obviously she wasn’t able to abstain.

[quote=davelj]I must admit, I enjoy salacious stories about purportedly “Great Men” (Clinton, Spitzer, etc.) that turn out to be cheating womanizers, so of course I enjoyed this Bob Rubin story.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/iris-mack/bob-rubin-just-wants-to-b_b_557621.html

Reminds me of a quote I read that goes something like, “There are no great men; only great reputations waiting to be tarnished.”

To expand on one of my favorite topics, my very crude breakdown of married men is as follows:

40% cheat (to greatly varying degrees)
50% want to cheat but can’t (unattractive, too busy, etc.)
3% gay
2% swingers
5% other – don’t cheat and don’t have any interest in cheating

What I’ve found is that the 93% in the top three groups spend much of their married lives trying to convince their families that they’re in the 5% “other” category.

This article probably isn’t helping Rubin with the case he’s been laying out to his family for ‘lo these many years.[/quote]

The 3% gay seems low, especially among the moralizers.

This one here is too good not to post.

CNN transcript controversy

Comedian Bill Maher referred to Mehlman as a closeted gay man in a November 8, 2006, appearance on CNN’s Larry King Live. It became a controversy when CNN edited out Maher’s comments in later taped editions of the appearance and removed the reference to Mehlman’s sexuality from the transcript of the show. Faced with prior rumors of his sexuality, Mehlman denied that he was gay in May 2006. “I’m not gay,” Mehlman told the New York Daily News, “but those stories did a number on my dating life for six months.”[18] Mehlman announced he would step down from his Chairman post the day after Maher’s appearance (although reports said that his resignation had been expected for some time).

[quote=briansd1]Bristol Palin is now getting $15,000 to $30,000 to talk about abstinence.

She should be promoting birth control. Obviously she wasn’t able to abstain.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_people_bristol_palin%5B/quote%5D

So, according to your perspective, former (reformed) drug users are inappropriate role models to discuss the dangers of drugs to kids?

I’d argue that the MOST appropriate person to discuss abstinence is someone like Bristol; “see, this is what can happen if you are sexually active EVEN WITH birth control–which is not 100% effective”
