S.M. (what a great set of initials) McCain is blogging about a blogger busted for incest. Since it is a political hit piece you know how it runs. The miscreant is a left wing blogger who was a big Obama supporter.
It is just a matter of time (human nature being what it is) until some prominent R gets found with a 15 year old and the Ds will claim moral superiority because “at least an 18 year old can consent.” Yeah. The cad waited until his daughter was of age.
Of course the incest loving blogger could go all biblical on us and say that he liked her a Lot.
I don’t think these kinds of stories say anything one way or another that is useful about politics. I’m reminded of one of Reagan’s best friends and big money boys dying in the arms of his mistress while RR was President. Bloomberg I think – something like that…. (some one remind me if you know)
Gossip is no doubt interesting (Larry Craig?) but what does it have to do with politics? Well it does draw eyeballs. And since it is Christmas time I’m going to get in the spirit and sell something.
Song (comedy bit?) #11 (Green Chri$Tma$) on this compilation is particularly relevant.
Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Christmas Novelty CD
H/T Instapundit who seems to have quite in interest in sex which allows me to indulge while claiming a smidgen of moral superiority. Which of course if found out will automatically make me morally inferior. But by outing myself on the subject…. Well it never ends. But it isn’t, except in the crudest precincts, politics. A certain A.S. – take note.

“the incest loving blogger could go all biblical on us and say that he liked her a Lot”
Or he could do like Lot and offer her to the mob that’s threatening to kick in his door.
I read through huffpo on that blogger/prof guy – half of them wanted to lynch him on the spot, some wanted to lynch her too. Some thought it shouldn’t be illegal. About 5 (in the 10 pages I waded through) pointed out that he’d only been accused, not convicted. I’ll have to stay with that – I’ll wait till conviction to condemn. *And yes, I would – IF it’s true. (And, yes, Sarah, it’s the one thing I DON’T appreciate Heinlein for taking on – he had it dead wrong.)
For getting in the spirit, you might want to add Tom Lehrer’s Christmas Carol to your list of Christmas music. (A more succinct version of your link, in subject matter.)
I don’t think incest should be encouraged.
