Rick Santorum Takes Off His Bikini Top
Because you asked for it (not one of you did), here's a hot sex photo of Rick Santorum wearing dangerously tan bathing trunks, in Puerto Rico. Ha ha ha, look at him... enjoying himself. This complicates the situation, no? Now everyone go out and get a Chinese iPadHD3 today and load this Santorum .jpg on it and head to your favorite San Diego sidewalk. The angel of fappery will guide you from there. [ Joe My God via Buzzfeed ]
"But in this war, the left is much worse. Poorly brought up potty-mouths, every one of them."
I didn't know this was a contest.
edit: Is the above an actual quote from someone or an original paraphrasing? If it is yours originally, then well done. Way more insightful than the Hamilton Nolan piece cited above.
Here's the original Noonan article, for those who can't get past the pay wall on the WSJ site:
<i>America&#039;s Real War on Women Some men think they can get away with vulgarity because they&#039;re on the &#039;correct&#039; side on social issues; others tire of being bullied by the language police.

There is a war against women. It is something comparatively new in our national life, and we have to start noticing it.
It is not a &quot;Republican war on women.&quot; It has nothing to do with White House attempts to paint conservative efforts to protect religious liberty as a war against women&#039;s rights to contraceptives. That is a mischievous fiction, and the president&#039;s polls this week suggest it isn&#039;t working. Good.
But the real war is against women in American public life, in politics and media most obviously, but in other spheres as well. In this war, leaders who are women are publicly demeaned and diminished based on the fact that they are women. They are the object of sexual slurs, and insulted in sexual terms. The words used are vulgar, and are meant to tear down and embarrass.
Every woman in American public life knows of it. They talk about it in private. They&#039;ve all experienced it.
Here are some of the words that have been hurled the past few years at public figures who are female: &quot;slut,&quot; &quot;whore,&quot; &quot;prostitute,&quot; &quot;bimbo.&quot; You know the other, coarser words that have been used. But the point is, these are not private insults. They are said in public. This is something new in American political life, that women can be spoken of this way.
Eleanor Roosevelt was probably the most controversial first lady ever, but no one ever felt they could speak of her in these terms in public. Dorothy Thompson may have been the most controversial commentator of the 20th century, but no one felt free to take to the airwaves, to go on the radio, and oppose her in such a low and vulgar way.
But you don&#039;t have to go back 60 and 70 years to see how much things have changed. Twenty years ago the discourse was higher.</i>
