Ok I NEVER quote right-wing sources, but this article was too hilarious
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 11:01 PM by Bouncy Ball
to pass up!!!

(And it's from GOPUSA, no less, get your barf bags ready.)

For those who don't want to click on the link, I'll put a few pertinent paragraphs here, but basically this really deluded woman, possibly on drugs, wrote an article about how sexy republican men are and why.

Ok first, she thinks WOMEN read Playgirl magazine. :rofl:

(That she thinks anyone reads Playgirl cracks me up.)

Secondly, the editor of Playgirl magazine, a woman, ran an article (pictoral) of repuke vs. Democratic men and apparently outed herself as a repuke when she wrote this (this is the editor of Playgirl, not the delusionoid who wrote the gopusa article): (my comments in italics)

"The Democrats of the Sixties were all about making love and not war while a war-loving Republican (um, blech}is a man who would fight, bleed, sacrifice, and die for his country. Could you imagine what that very same man would do for his wife in the bedroom? Um, punch her out, and then make himself bleed? They are some twisted sickos, aren't they? Those on the Right are presumed to be all about power and greed -- two really sexy traits in the bedroom.EEEEEHHHH?????? Note to this crazy woman: NO WOMAN WANTS A GREEDY MAN IN BED, OK? Nuff said. They want it, they want it now, and they'll do anything to get it. And I'm not talking about some pansy-assed victory; I'm talking about full on jackpot, satisfaction for all." -- Michelle Zipp, Editor of Playgirl magazine

Actually, from what my repuke neighbor has told me about her repuke husband, she described him very well. Not concerned about her at all, in quite a hurry. I'll stop there, lest I get this locked.

Well the gopusa woman hyperventilated over that and wrote an article on it:

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/cmolin/2005/cdm_03141.shtml

Here are some especially delusional bits (it was hard to choose, believe me):

However, before any conservative has a canary, let me just note that the photos in Playgirl are attractive "eye candy" -- Gorgeous men are tastefully portrayed in a magazine specifically geared toward sophisticated young women. We're talking risque and scintillating, not hardcore. Frankly, I didn't even realize that Playgirl was still around. My last memory of PIaygirl involved its major publicity score during the eighties, when actor Burt Reynolds posed for the publication. How time flies! Playgirl magazine may not be for someone like me, but it obviously fulfills the fantasies of some young women.

(Didn't Burt Reynolds pose for Cosmo in the 70s? I never remember hearing about him posing for Playgirl in the 80s...)

Oh and her translation of the explanation as to why she was reading--GASP--Playgirl, is that it was for research, of course! And um, it's tasteful and all! And it's for SOPHISTICATED women! (Yeah, right, lady.)


She goes on to describe a pictorial she apparently enjoyed (ROFL!). And here are the last two paragraphs, the MOST delusional of all:

However, as a Republican woman I would like to clarify this point: Republican men - as terrific lovers - are not essentially motivated by "power and greed". It makes for great copy, but it's inaccurate. Republican men are in large part compelled by their love for Republican women, with whom they share a common vision and bond. Republican men -- who are more precisely mainstream conservatives that are imbued with core values - are incredibly brave and unselfish. How else can you explain Republican men as warriors, willing to place their lives on the line in this war on terror?

Who is joining the reserves, which account for more than forty percent of our forces in Iraq? Clearly, it's the mainstream conservatives who already have careers and families. I don't see many liberals out there fighting this war. This is an ideological conflict, and the majority currently in the military (or working alongside the military in Iraq) are Republican men and women. In fact, my niece is serving there now. The liberal Democratic men, who have done nothing but blame America and refuse to fight, are rather disgraceful. They're unconscionable wussies, and Republican women know enough to stay clear of this worthless bunch. Give me a Republican man anytime who is for the cause and understands what's at stake.

I've been laughing so hard my stomach hurts. Um, REPUBLICANS are joining the military??? REALLY??? Funny, I've been begging them to go fight their master's nasty little war and we still seem to have big gaps in enlistment numbers!

:rofl:

I had too much fun with this!

1. You know, on second thought, I'm not sure that editor of Playgirl
isn't being totally tongue-in-cheek with what she wrote.

Hmmm.

2. I've got news for her ...
A war-loving Republican is a man who sends others to fight, bleed, sacrifice, and die for his country.

3. Exactly.
Oh. You just don't know whether to laugh or be scared, do you?

The woman who wrote this apparently believes:

1. repuke men go fight wars
2. Playgirl is read by lots of sophisticated young wome
3. repuke men are just busting the military at the seams fighting this WAR ON TERROR!

That last one is my favorite. I wonder what color the sky is on her planet.

Probably the same color as the smoke coming out of her bong! :P

She's definitely on some kind of mind-altering substance, LOL! :smoke:

4. He sends others to fight, bleed, and die.
So I wonder what that says about him in bed, since that's what her article is about?

Ech.

7. I think I can say this:
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 11:15 PM by Bouncy Ball
that repuke neighbor?

She told me once that her husband throws her a dirty hand towel out of the hamper as he's walking out of the room. Usually hits her in the face with it.

Yeah, he's Mr. Romance. I don't envy her anything.

10. If he knew what that was, he might.
:rofl:

Lotta resentment on both sides with them. After a while, I actually had to figure out a way to ask her to stop telling me stuff about them. It was too depressing.

13. Lord, I'm laughing, you don't know how true that is.
He occasionally "cleans out" the garage by putting random shit in his driveway. It sits there. And sits there. And sits there.

Until she gets pissed off, screams at him to put it BACK in the garage and he does.

That's how he cleans out the garage. LMAO!

He was also drunk one time and tried to grab me. Yeah, I told his wife. She kicked him out for a while.

Is it understandable why we've cut off all contact with them?

16. He tried to grab you? Yikes.
Those are people you buy a security system because of. Or a firearm of some kind.

I love watching people try to clean out their garages. They either do it, or they give up after realizing the futility of their situation.

12. read by sophisticated young women?
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 11:28 PM by FizzFuzz
My main memory of Playgirl is that it was printed on the cheapest newsprint available (definitely not the slick paper stock used for respect-worthy mags aimed at a large audience held in high regard by the publisher--like Penthouse) and was full of the cheezy ads of the sort we see in those really weird "Alien Colony Discovered in Nevada Cave" newspapers.

17. My filthy "grandmother" used to read it.
I say grandmother because I'm not related to her and don't want any assumptions made about me. I come from East Texas honky trash stock, but not THAT white trash.

Anyway, I remember finding a stack of her Playgirls when I was younger. Scarred for life.

19. ROFL. Knowing the way things work out there, I wouldn't be surprised.
My hometown is so far east it really ought to be considered Western Louisiana. Which would explain the copious Cajuns there (my own family included).

Completely off-topic (well, maybe not), but do you ever drink Shiner? I got some Shiner Summer Stock today and damn it's good.

21. Oh yeah.
When it's around, I'll drink it.

My parents bought a case of this beer that you can only really get in Ft. Worth called Rahr & Sons. "Rahr" is our good former neighbor friend Fritz who moved up to FW to brew beer. If you ever see it, try it. It's very good, but apparently it flies off the shelf. He can't keep up with demand.

My boss lives in Ft. Worth (has for many years) and is devoted to that beer. He has a hard time finding it, too, but he gave me some and it was delicious.

This is making me thirsty. I need to go to the fridge!

Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 11:45 PM by Fenris
Unfortunately, it's hard for him to keep up. They're living paycheck to paycheck. Very tough on him and his wife.

25. Wow, that's too bad. I have no idea where my boss got it
except somewhere in Ft. Worth. I had never heard of it before he mentioned it. He's very into different types of beers.

That's according to my dad. It's where they make the most money, too.

23. I could only imagine very "tame" gay men reading it.
hee hee! ;)

I sure haven't seen it--they must be hiding it behind the counters out of sheer embarassment.

that reminds me--at the local CVS, they have all the Maxim crap mags displayed at eye-level for 10 year old boys. Really pleasant to stand next to a group of little tykes in the first bloom of testosterone, laughing at the naked ladies and sniggering at me while I try to remain nonchalant. So I did a good deed and rearranged the mags, stuck the bimbo crap up on the top shelf with the tattoo and other plastic-wrapped for safety ( ? :eyes: ) material.

:evilgrin:

35. So, I goggled this Carol Devin-Molin...
and she's one reason why blondes have this bad reputation.

Dumber than a bag of hammers, that one. Just blabbering on repeating the usual talking points, and absolutely nothing of substance anywhere.
