Soap-On-A-Rope Report: Girls Gone Wild Founder Pleads No Contest

If it weren’t for the geographical distances imposed by jurisdictional separation, Eliot Spitzer entering the court house might run into Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis leaving, now that the notorious boob merchant has pled no contest to one count of felony child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor prostitution.
Francis was sentenced to year of […]

Spitzer: Main Course at the Feast of Hypocrites

New York governor Eliot Spitzer is on the brink of disaster, thanks to a federal complaint that names him as defendant number nine in a prostitution investigation. And the media couldn’t be happier.
Lord knows, I love a juicy political and/or tawdry sex scandal as much as anyone, but I’ll be sorry to see Spitzer […]

Supervisor Ed Jew: Help Me, Mr. Wizard!

Liars Incorporated: George Bush & Co.

For some infuriating reading, take a look at this study on lying by the Bush administration.
The study claims Bush and his cronies lied over 900 times to the public in a two-year period after 9/11, during which time the administration sought to terrify the public with lies claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction […]

Ed Jew: Order the Soap-on-a-Rope

Startling new bullshit emerged today about the legal strategy of San Francisco supervisor Ed Jew, who’s in trouble of taking a $40,000 cash payment and lying about his residence in order to get elected.
There’s actually some precedent for lying about one’s residence in an election and getting away with it, and Jew’s defense will hinge […]

Larry Craig’s Quest for Unpopularity: What’s Next for the Michael Myers of Politics?

It seemed for a moment last week that très gay Senator Larry Craig couldn’t do anything to make himself for of a laughing stock than denying his sexual identity and then doing a 180 on his threat to quit his job.
Then he decided he wanted a “do-over” on his guilty plea in the bathroom sex […]

Larry Craig: How Gay Can You Not Be?

Sometimes the way something is said completely undercuts the nominal content, and Senator Larry Craig’s ubiquitous denials of homosexuality on every conceivable media outlet fall into this category.
Have you heard Craig’s voice? If he’s not gay, South Park’s Ms./Mr. Garrison must be straight. I mean, every time I hear Craig say, “I’m not […]

Ding Dong: Karl Rove Resigns

For no particular reason, the White House Svengali is resigning. That’s right, Karl Rove has announced his resignation as Bush’s surrogate brain.
Perhaps Rove felt he had accomplished all he could to harvest the lives and souls of American sodiers in order to effect a massive transfer of wealth to craven scumbags such as himself.
Rumor […]

Republiscum Glenn Murphy Has a New Name: Prison Bitch

After being outed, National Young Republicans president Glenn Murphy admits he slurped a pleasure pole–but hey, he didn’t inhale!
Yesterday’s ode to Soap-on-a-Rope led to the discovery of this wonderful Prison Bitch Name Generator, and now the generator seems even more timely.
Use it to generate your own post-conviction appellation, or crank out some handles for […]

The SEC’s Devil’s Dicktionary: Senate Probe of the Aguirre Firing

There’s quite a lot of evidence to suggest that the Securities and Exchange Commission fired one of their investigators, Gary Aguirre, in 2005 just for doing his job.
Aguirre maintains he was shitcanned after complaining that his superiors would not let him pursue an insider investigation involving hedge fund Pequot Capital and big, swinging dick John […]
