Humpty humpTHE NATION HAS A SEX COLUMN: For more than three centuries, The Nation has defined “American Erotica” with its articles about public policy or whatever. But now it has a sex columnist who will write stuff about how Obama is so sexy. [The Nation]

    Another nail in the coffin of print media.

  2. Truculent says at 2:52 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Let’s hope the column is gender-neutral, inclusive, straight-gay–bi-transgendered, culturallly sensitive, supportive, non-judgmental, consenting, and equal. With a touch of assfucking.

  3. SuperRounder says at 2:54 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Congrats to JoAnn Wypijewski. Hopefully the Nation will keep her away from Lizz Winstead.

  4. itgetter says at 2:55 pm, July 17th, 2008

    The title of the column is the perfect balance of biblical and creepy (redundant?).

    “Carnal Knowledge”

    Sweet Jebus! That article made me damp in my lady parts….

  6. nietzscheprojectile says at 2:56 pm, July 17th, 2008

    “Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human.” That’s right. Sports, art and sex are all you need to be human. Sweet baby jesus in a handbasket.

  7. AfghanVet says at 2:56 pm, July 17th, 2008

    The picture is disturbing.

    Nation Forum?

    “I was at a conference on Kenya and I never thought this would happen to me…”

  8. loudmouthredhead says at 2:57 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Truculent: Right, because the one thing keeping me from buying print media is the dearth of updates on who’s ass-fucking whom in Washington. Damn it, isn’t this what Jeff Gannon was for?

  9. Noodle Salad says at 2:58 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human.

    And, like sports and art, most people who think they’re good at talking about sex are actually terrible and end up killing what little sex drive our fat country has left.

  10. SayItWithWookies says at 3:01 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Oh pleeeeease let the National Review respond in kind. Bill Kristol’s thoughts on sex should be just the thing to destroy the conservative movement forever.

  11. Delicious says at 3:02 pm, July 17th, 2008

    They should have a sex advice column for commie deviants. I’d read that.

  12. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:02 pm, July 17th, 2008

    I dont have the time or patience to read that article, so I’m just going to assume it has conclusive proof Obama is hung like a horse and ready for my services in his secret white house gym upon inauguration.

  13. Noodle Salad says at 3:03 pm, July 17th, 2008

    nietzscheprojectile: that sentence did kind of stick out.

  14. S.Luggo says at 3:04 pm, July 17th, 2008

    — When he leaned into Michelle as she wrapped her arms around him from behind after the New Hampshire loss, when she cradles his face in her expressive hands while kissing him, with every dap and nuzzle and palpable vibe between them, “you see love onstage,” said Harriette Cole of Ebony —

    Crimminies, is The Nation in a circulation fight with Cosmo? Well, at least the column will give the girls at Jeezy something to rattle-on about besides shoes.

    PS: Katrina vanden Heuvel,
    You wanna pump up the numbers? Try including a Sedeku in each issue .

  15. tsunami says at 3:06 pm, July 17th, 2008

    gee…

    i’m sure JoAnn Wypijewski wrote the original in longhand so she
    could have one hand “free.”

  16. AfghanVet says at 3:06 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Well, if they want to sell more copies, they need a Page 6 girl, or boy, to go with it.

  17. WadISay says at 3:09 pm, July 17th, 2008

    From wherever you got this mouse-on-mouse sex gif, do you also have one for laptops?

  18. freakishlystrong says at 3:10 pm, July 17th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: Kristol’s thoughts on sex would destroy
    my sex drive forever….

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:11 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Very Hawt mouse on mouse action.

  20. Lana Bang says at 3:14 pm, July 17th, 2008

    That image is making me horny. Is that wrong?

  21. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 3:14 pm, July 17th, 2008

    I fucking hope they’re letting (longtime actual Nation columnist) Alexander Cockburn write this.

  22. anabellum says at 3:19 pm, July 17th, 2008

    count me impressed…and she didnt even use the words ‘taut buttocks’….not once…

  23. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 3:20 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Lana Bang: If that is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

  24. Mahousu says at 3:26 pm, July 17th, 2008

    I’m afraid I didn’t read the article - I just saw the line about legions of girls jumping out of their panties and immediately thought of this:

    http://www.lileks.com/institute/frahm/indexmain.html

    And, well, I had to go have some celery to cool down.

  25. tsunami says at 3:30 pm, July 17th, 2008

    anabellum: catching up from monkey…

    LOL
    more clever than me by far.

    btw…am at work. bad enough they expect me to show up sober.
    now, they want me to actually do my job.
    i need a monkey. speaking of which…

    going home now.

    anabellum:

  26. magic titty says at 3:51 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Oh JoAnn…that wasn’t a sex column. That was a shitty article of nondescript platitudes inferences.

    Do over!

  27. tunamelt says at 4:01 pm, July 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Isn’t that dwarf hamster on mouse action?

  28. S.Luggo says at 4:03 pm, July 17th, 2008

    anabellum: Wait for the sex-sex gal’s column about Condi. It will also include several references to quarter-bouncing and a piano.

  29. magic titty says at 4:09 pm, July 17th, 2008

    S.Luggo: You think Barack can smoke a cigarette? Wait til you see Condoleeza.

  30. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:11 pm, July 17th, 2008

    tunamelt: KEEP WAYSIDE WITH YOUR NICKELS AND YOUR DIMES!
    rEVOLution!!!!!!!!1!

  31. PoliticalGraffiti says at 4:18 pm, July 17th, 2008

    i’m sorry, but voting for FISA made my clitoris actually retract…obama is NOT panty-throwing worthy

  32. pierce bottoms says at 4:32 pm, July 17th, 2008

    i didn’t think ’sex’ was supposed to be ‘boring.’

  33. pierce bottoms says at 4:37 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Mahousu: that is some fantastic stuff

  34. Truculent says at 4:42 pm, July 17th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: “made my clitoris retract”

    I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen that particular combination of words. Paints quite a vivid picture.

  35. angryhippopotamus says at 4:43 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Fuck The Nation’s Sex Column (see what I did there). We, the brave foot soldiers on the front lines of the war on people not like us who inhabit the tubes, need to go on the offensive. Here: http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/humpy-mouse.gif We need to spread this image in every link, every comments thread, and every email. The world shall know our end, and shall tremble in the presence of hot mouse-on-sexbot-mouse action. Join me in this crusade to bring this .gif to the uncorrupted, to those who wallow in darkness ignorant of the worlds possibilities, and most importantly, to the children.

  36. loquaciousmusic says at 5:04 pm, July 17th, 2008

    I don’t read
    Anybody else
    Because when I read The Nation
    I touch myself…

  37. Canuckledragger says at 6:40 pm, July 17th, 2008

    If The Nation now has a sex column, I respectfully request that said column instruct Nation-contributor/CIA-stooge/JFK-retard Max Holland on how to go fuck himself.

    Failing that, perhaps it could see to it that his dawg-awful revisionist tripe is no longer published there, but on the CIA homepage - as it sometimes does - where it belongs?

    Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration,

    I remain
    Unimpressed with Max Holland

  38. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:53 pm, July 17th, 2008

    As bad as this is, imagine if the people who write at NRO The Corner had a sex column.

    Worse, imagine if the people who write for NRO The Corner had sex.

  39. RuperttheBear says at 6:54 pm, July 17th, 2008

    nietzscheprojectile: You need the next line for the full effect.

    “Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human. Market culture understands this, which is why we have advertising and Paris Hilton.”

    See, what this means is that the first ball at the World Series will be shot from Paris Hilton’s snatch, a photograph of which will be placed on a box of Wheaties that, when eaten, will make us truly human.

  40. KevoTron says at 7:12 pm, July 17th, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: That sir, was GENIUS!

  41. Canuckledragger says at 7:13 pm, July 17th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: I am so confused. In order to become truly human, must I eat the Wheaties? The photo of Paris Hilton’s snatch? Or Paris Hilton’s snatch?

    Because I’ll gladly do the first two.

    The third? This planet don’t have enough liquor for me to lick ‘er. And I’m usually considered quite accommodating… even without the hooch, I’ll do the cooch. But even I have SOME standards…

  42. Do we really need anybody to analyze why BHO is sexy? Sort of ‘Captain Obvious’ kinda thing.

  43. nietzscheprojectile says at 8:24 pm, July 17th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Crikey. I missed the Paris reference because I felt an aneurysm coming on. I salute your fortitude, sir.

  44. sanantonerose says at 8:38 pm, July 17th, 2008

    JoAnn Wypijewski, who has written widely for this and other publications about class, sex and politics on topics such as Madonna, the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, the Catholic priest scandal and torture at Abu Ghraib

    Abu Ghraib? Oh goody! I await the BDSM article.

  45. regisgoat says at 8:39 am, July 18th, 2008

    They also need a cocktail column by Christopher Hitchens. Either than or more Katrina Vandercommiedevil pictorals.

  46. Mr-Clark says at 12:02 am, July 21st, 2008

    Ken Layne,

    Sen. Obama is as sexy as Midge is tall. I keep thinking he is anorexic or bulimic.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark
