The Sex Factor

Nobody's Opinion; Walk into any room, stand very still, and yell the word “sex!” out loud, and everyone in the room will turn at you, and stare. They might even laugh.

Now, walk into any room and yell the word “fire!” You might get the same reaction. People will search around for smoke, maybe shrug their shoulders, but if they don’t actually see the flames, they will continue to act bothered by the whole thing.

“You mean we gotta leave the room?” you will hear. Some of them might even take twenty minutes to finish their latte before moving.

But link any politician running for office to a sex scandal, and everyone goes berserk. Endless days of “ominous” sounding headlines will fill the news for months. And it a sure fire way to get people to pay attention to the wrong thing.

For instance…say “Monica Lewinsky” instead of “U.S. Nuclear Secrets go to China” and you guessed it, the public is all concerned about Bill Clinton getting “sex” in the Oval office, which actually, even though it was pretty sleazy, didn’t hurt anyone, physically.

(Until later, when millions of young teenagers around the world started thinking oral sex was really “cool.”)

In fact, I would say the Monica Lewinsky Scandal saved Bill Clinton from having to answer questions about something that he should have been tried, and hung for: taking the decisions about our nuclear and weapons technology transfers away from Congress, and putting it in the hands of the Commerce Department, so that Boeing and Loral could go ahead and stock the Chinese military with all the little goodies they wanted; all the very latest in our nuclear missile technology along with the computers to work them.

Technology which China has now given according to many, to Iran.

Clinton did not get impeached for “sex.” He should have been impeached for high treason.

And this is also how, by the way, our great North American Merger of three continents are being put into place…out of the hands of Congress, and into the hands of the Commerce Department, where the people have no say in the matter.

And while this is going on, the subject of “sex” is a good thing to keep people preoccupied with. That, or “Will Brittany get her kids back?”

Tell me, do you care?

This is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson was plagued for years with scandalous headlines about his affair and subsequent children with his slave, Sally Hemings.

Alexander Hamilton had his affair with Maria Reynolds, which pretty much did him in.

Recently, many think the Mark Foley “dancing with page boys scandal” gave the Congress over to the Democrats, who have had their share of scandals in history too.

As Hillary will tell you, “Timing is everything.”

Long ago, during Bill Clinton’s Reign, the speakers of the Houses were dropping like ripe acorns off the tree of adultery: Bob Livingston and Newt Gingrich being the most famous.

Personally, I’ve always wondered what crime Dick Morris committed to get the “toe sucking” headlines with the prostitute…that’s one of my favorites. Toes are sensitive things and in my estimation, should get more headlines, not less.

So, what “sex scandals” are they going to come up with in this most important of elections in our time?

Charles Rangel (D-NY) said about Rudy Guilianni last week;

“Sons respect and admire their father, but they love their mother against cheating goddamn husbands.”

Could this mean that Chelsea Clinton hates her dad?

No, Rangel was referring to Rudy’s son, who is still mad at dad for leaving mom, probably over the embarrassment of her involvement with the “Vagina Monologues,” and now it seems Rudy is very faithfully married to a woman who will be made out to be the next Lucretia McEvil (Vanity Fair did a pretty scathing report in September) while the real Lucretia, a woman who’s husband has probably had sex with every available woman in Arkansas, D.C., and Thailand, could care less as long as she can use his popularity to get elected President.

What scares me is not Rudy’s third happy marriage, but the fact that the Clintons are married only on paper, and pretend they're married for political gain, and that’s not mentioned anywhere.

Politicians play to win, and the word “sex” is the best Orwellian Bell that can be rung in the ears of the proletariat to gain points for the other side.

Did I just hear someone yell, “Help!”?
