John Lennon was once quoted as saying that "2001: A Space Odyssey" should be shown on a loop in a temple...
A short sitdown interview by a blogger with THE Carl Monday (not his real name). Thanks to Deadspin for the link, as always.
My question: does Carl Monday have the video his crew shot of the dude in Berea, Ohio pleasuring himself near the children's section on a loop in his condo/double-wide/swingin' bachelor pad? Just wonderin'.
Because it always (ALWAYS) seems as though those of us that seem most concerned with lewd behavior have many, many skeletons in their closet.
A partial list:
(recent weeks)
Steve Largent's son - not that Sr. is responsible for his offspring's behavior, but Largent is quite the conservative who used his son's difficulties to promote his own political career (imo). Story.
Newt Gingrich - I am IN NO WAY connecting Mr. Former Speaker with sexual PERVERTS, but hey, the guy is on his third wife. Family values? Excuse me while I puke. And the way he divorced his cancer stricken wife still should make one's stomach turn.
Bill O'Reilly - This is the first mention of O'Reilly in this space in some weeks, but he fits the bill. Settled out of court with the woman he harassed. Is this sexual perversion on a scale with masturbating in a library, close to a children's reading room? I would make the case that it is, since it involved a woman whose career he held in his hand (cough...cough). But of course Mr. Bill has a tv show and all, so he is not villified (to the same degree) as poor Mr. C-----r from Berea, Ohio.
Noted Christian speaker and alleged serial sexual harasser, ESPN's own Harold Reynolds was fired this week due to allegations of (another case of) sexual harassment. It takes quite a lot to get fired from ESPN's macho on air staff DURING the season (remember Rush Limbaugh inserting his big foot into his big mouth?), but Harold managed it. Don't think that this was an isolated incident, no matter how sweet Mr. Reynolds seems on air (yeah, he seems like such a nice guy on camera, but that and 50 cents gets you a Twix)
(not so recent, but still cracks me up)
The mother lode of sexual hypocracy and all around scumbagedness...Jimmy Swaggart. Back in the '80s people actually believed that televangelists/"men of god" were worthy of their hard earned cash contributions. Thank Christ that no one ever falls for that bag of crap anymore.....well.....never mind. Where the hell is Jimmy Swaggart nowadays? Or did I just answer my own question?
J. Edgar Hoover. No links. No nothing. If you don't know the story, then there are a hundred or so books on this closeted homosexual. The homosexual cross dresser I'm cool with. The bugging of King, Jr. and so many other Americans so he could (most likely) pleasure himself with the tapes, I ain't down with so much. And they named the damn FBI building after him. What a fitting tribute, me thinks.
Remember, if anyone is obsessed with rooting out sexual deviancy, my money is on them being a sexual harasser/sexual abuser/any other thing that hurts another human being and involves sex/power. You can count on it.
