Does Andrew want to Know Jack...biblically speaking?

For the last few days the Precocious Princess of P-Town has been castigating the press for publishing former republican senatorial candidate Jack Ryan's previously sealed divorce papers. The papers were a bit on the interesting side, and certainly did not cast Jack Ryan in a very favorable light, especially the parts about his taking his former spouse Jeri Ryan to clubs which were, let's say "exotic". Sullivan misses the whole point about Jeri and that most vital of words...consent. You know as in consensual, kind of like the relationship a certain president and an intern had. Consensual. Maybe not ethical, but certainly consensual. Well, Jack tried to make Jeri (according to her) do things she did not want to do. Repeatedly. Which got him in trouble with the whole consent thing.

Andrew misses all this. Repeatedly. Because Ryan said this:

There is no allegation, as you know, of breaking any laws, no allegation of infidelity, no allegation of breaking any marriage vows," he said.
He's demanding that anyone who reports on matters like what happened with Ryan disclose everything about their sex life. No, please Andrew, it's enough that you do...we don't need those mental images just to satisfy some need of yours.

Perhaps he's wishing that Jack had taken him clubbing instead...I have a feeling that Sullivan could have both given lessons and and introduced Ryan to most of his friends. Then written a paean about the joys of healthy intra-republican sex.

What was that nasty word from the Derbyshire Article he quoted? The one that describes what just happened to Sullivans' argument? It went "poof"?

Sully should Cheney himself over others' business. He is republican and gay but why?

Answer- he is not satisfied with either gayness or being republican. Neocons lack spiritual value they trumpet. Riches do not make the spirit wealthy, he has never wondered why the balance sheet and stock returns make him feel no better.

SO he takes his desire for affirmation , applies it to causes he deems unpopular politically for more attention... a cyclical spiral.

Ryan's wife wants no one knowing her business so he disconnects.He cannot imagine someone not wanting that kind of attention.


But none of this has changed his devotion to his huban- er, the pResident.

Call him Condie- someone's bitch.

Marriage vows (even for same sex marriage, I assume) traditionally include "love, honor and obey ...." Jack Ryan's actions as described in the court papers failed the "love" and "honor" parts. And his ex-wife's failure to "obey" Jack's requests was clearly justified. If Andrew decides to take marriage vows, I would hope he would not emulate Jack Ryan.

Also, all of us should keep in mind that Jack Ryan's democratic opponent had no hand in revealing the information from the court papers. He is a decent young man.
