What the article doesn't say is that he wanted to make whoopee with her at a sex club in front of others, and she wasn't keen about that.

Sucks, too, because I voted for him in the primary. They grabbed another successful and attractive African-Republican to run against Obama, but the guy was a jerk and no one voted for him.

The unsealing had a bit to do with a potentially nasty campaign and a lot to do with the other party in the divorce being actress Jeri Ryan, otherwise known as Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Had Mr Ryan been married to a less widely, er, admired figure, [AND HADN'T BEEN A TOTAL PERV ASSHAT WHO TRIED TO PRESSURE HIS WIFE INTO SCREWING OTHER MEN] he might have been able to campaign in peace, rather than resigning abruptly in June 2004.

Dude, if I was married to Jeri Ryan, you bet your ass I'd at least think about taking her to swing clubs. Average swinger chick is pretty a much a tatted up meth head or a hefty pie-eating saladphobe. The ratio of good looking women to swamp donkeys is approximately the same as your average WalMart.

I'd be walking around all night, just sayin' "Hey. Check my ass out. I'm married to her. And you're married to.... ummm... *that.*"

Nope, that wasn't the case. He wanted to make whoopee with her while others watched.

True Story:

My second year of Law School My Criminal Law Clincal Professor (a Living legend in the Criminal Defense bar in Chicago) casually says at the end of our weekly meeting :

"Hey I'm going to a fund raiser tonight for a really great guy that's running for US Senate. He Hasn't got a chance in hell of even winning the Democratic Primary, but you all should think about volunteering for his campaign, he needs all the help he can get, it'd be great experience, and he's a damn remarkable guy".
Much as I admired Prof Kling (yes they did call us his "Klingons" thank you very much); I declined to find time in my badly overstuffed schedule for this Don Quixote Candidate who was running a distant third in the primary polling.

Two months later, just before the primary, (which had been EXTREMELY negative between 1&2 #1's Divorce records get unsealed and its revealed that he had an unfortunate habit of smacking his Ex-wife around. (cue the Pac-man "wilting" sound effect). Even more interestingly after #1 cratered, the negativity of the campaign soured voters on #2 as well, and so on election night Obama was the suprise winner.

This was not, however cause for celebration, as the Dems were fighting an uphill battle against an extremely charismatic Republican, Jack Ryan, who had made millions on Wall Street and then returned home to teach HS in the worst part of Chicago. (the only negative about this guy was that he too had a sealed divorce record, but when the Dem scandal broke, he met privately with Republican officials and swore there was "nothing embarassing" in those records)

Conventional wisdom was that the seat was now a Republican lock; so once again, depsite a personal invitation, I declined to get involved, wanting to focus on finisshing law school and get my degree. Then of course came the unsealing of Ryan's divorce records, the collective realization that he was married to THAT Jerri Ryan, and the mass visualization of 7of 9 naked and in bondage in some seedy Swingers club.

After all the zippers were repaired, needless to say the complexion of the race changed dramatically (especially when the Repubs made the inexplicable decision to bring in Poltical commedian and professional carpetbagger Alan Keyes as thier replacement candidate).


The moral of this story is twofold: 1) I am an idiot with the worst poltical instincts ever. 2) GOD himself wanted Obama to Win, and woe to any that opposed him. The Almighty was rahter less than subtle with the smiting of those who stood in his way.

I think your assessment is correct. God himself is pushing for Obama. Resistance is futile, Republicans. If you go up against him, you're going to find out that you had a sexual affair with your Asian gardener, and you didn't even know you HAD an Asian gardener.

Name two libtard-ish things that Obama has ever said.

Thank the Chicago Tribune. They were the ones suing to get Ryan's divorce papers. Because the "people have a right to know" what goes on in other people's private lives.

It's funny how Obama is the new darling of the left- but he's essentially a nobody who is only in office because of his opponents scandal, not because of his merits.

Maybe you guys should, you know, wait until he proves himself in the slightest before you folks line up behind him? Or is looking good on TV enough?

Maybe Jack Ryan being the candidate of the holier-than-God, no-sex-is-good-sex party had something to do with his undoing. Can you say "hypocrite". That seemed to be going around a lot during this last election cycle.

It's amazing how the demonization of Obama has been gearing up even before, as the vanquished are so fond of stating, "he hasn't even done anything yet". Tat's a pretty clear sign that they're afraid of him.
 
2006-11-15 03:20:42 PM
Or even "That's"
 
2006-11-15 04:35:23 PM
Jack would have had no problem had he told Jeri that "You must comply" or "resistance is futile."

How could he forget those?
 
2006-11-15 04:51:14 PM
but he's essentially a nobody

He's less of a nobody than George W. Bush was before he was elected president. W was an empty shirt his whole life (and frankly still is).

The unsealing had a bit to do with dirty politics and a violation of his privacy rights by the Chicago Democrat Machine and the Chicago Tribune a potentially nasty campaign and a lot to do with the other party in the divorce being actress Jeri Ryan, otherwise known as Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Had Mr Ryan been married to a less widely, er, admired figure, the Illinois Republican party been led by someone other than a compromised demopublican whore like Judy Baar Topinka, he might have been able to campaign in peace, rather than resigning abruptly in June 2004 and she might have won her race for Governor.
