Trey Le Parc: DemonEater: Sex scandals are boring as hell. Who farking CARES?

The only time I pay attention to them it's when it's one of those "family values" types who votes against gay rights and then gets caught getting pegged by a 22-year old boy. Because then it's a douchebag getting their hypocrisy exposed, and irony is nature's candy after all.

"Irony is nature's candy"...classic. Did you write that?


Aren't raisins nature's candy?

Another one CNN didn't mention because it blew over quick: Congressman Henry Hyde (R-eally Pro Life IL) disclosed 30+ years afterwards that he had a long and very public affair with a married woman, calling it "a youthful indiscretion."

He was 45 years old at the time of the indiscretion.

CNN kills me. They're almost as bad as TMZ or some other celebrity website now. This was front page earlier today. I like the end where the guy tells the girl to just stop because she's being stupid.

dreadprophet: Fluff Girl: Don't see it happening. Not because he couldn't, or because he wouldn't. They just give out a vibe. I would guess that Michelle gets her zesty daily dose of "who's-your-daddy." Just saying.

Why do you think he gets into the Oval Office later in the morning than most presidents?


It's a paradox, becuase he's the only one in the 'oval office' every morning.

tulax: jjorsett: KingKauff: How come Linda Tripp never faced prosecution for illegal wire tapping?

/Linda Tripp or John Goodman? you decide

Presumably for the same reason Congressman Jim McDermott (D-ick) wasn't prosecuted for turning over tapes of cell phones calls made by prominent Republicans.

Generally (in most states) a taping of a conversation is legal if at least one party knows about it.


Maryland's not one of the one-party consent states. Neither is Washington state (where McDermott was) or Florida (where the calls were taped). Link (new window) However, the couple that taped Newt Gingrich did violate FCC rules by taping the cell phone call over a scanner.

Oh, and btw--for a man who wasn't prosecuted for turning the tapes of the conversations over to the media, he's well over a million dollars less rich thanks to the US District Court in DC. Tripp, on the other hand, had her charges dismissed by the State of Maryland.

Crispy: Lando Lincoln: Sex scandals are getting kinda boring. Who the fark wants to listen to a Governor prattle on and on about how he's in love with an Argentinian? No thanks. I had enough of that shiat back in high school.

Damn how many Argentinians where there at your high school?


GOAAAL!! (new window, NSFW)

I can't believe they didn't list Jim McGreevy. Democratic governor of New Jersey, gay sex scandal with a former IDF officer that is rumored to have included threesomes with McGreevy's wife. I usually say that Democrats have more scandals while Republicans have higher-quality ones, but McGreevy is a glaring exception.

How do you put the TM in a headline? I've tried it before, but Fark doesn't seem to accept HTML code in headlines.

fifth_of_november: How do you put the TM in a headline? I've tried it before, but Fark doesn't seem to accept HTML code in headlines.

Use the unicode character (™), not the superscript (TM). Option+2 on a mac, and I believe alt+2122 on windows. Or copy-paste it from this post or another headline or wherever.
