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.

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"?
