A 28 year old woman is running for state rep in Tennessee. She… she posed for racy pictures! When she was 23! TWENTY-THREE! I hate to show you such… filth… but here’s one of the pictures she posed for. Scandalous!
No, not really. I have a few female friends who model, and that picture is tame. As in, that went in the lobby. One of my friends has a picture where she was modeling a black strapless dress and had a… wardrobe malfunction. The picture was used (in a cropped form) in a few ad campaigns. Heck, that picture’s tame compared to some of the pictures my friends take at the lake.
I find it more scandalous that she was pregnant at 15. Since the picture’s a 0.5 on the Scandal-meter, the fact that she’s 28 with a 13 year old measures a whopping 1.0. Seriously, Teddy Kennedy kills a chick, Bill Clinton gets hummers in the Oval Office, and Blago tried to sell a Senate seat… and this is supposed to be scandalous? Pshaw!
All I wanna know is… if she wins, will she do a Maxim shoot? (chuckle)

Our society has an increasingly f*cked up (sometimes, literally) concept of what is considered career-damaging and what is not.
If the girl has the body, she might as well make a little money letting people photograph it – and considering that precisely nothing was showing, what the hell is the problem?
But, yeah, people engage in actual, honest-to-God crimes, and yet they still manage to occupy national offices. Gotta love it.

The hypocrisy is nauseating. You know if this woman was a democrat the left would be defending her with claims that “she’s just expressing her sensuality” or “youthful indiscretions” or some appeal to feminist rights. But because she is a republican, oh the shame, the horror!
My father in law started spewing off about how he has never seen such opposition to the President! Funny how when they did that and worse to Bush it was freedom of speech but do it to Obama and it is sedition.

Ask them what they did when Bush was President, then say– “Hey, at least I’m not comparing Obama to a monkey…”
