Weiners and Losers
Richmond, Virginia mayoral candidate and ex-felon Joe Morrissey is in hot water (again) this week, as he was charged with exposing himself to a female client in his law office. When the client never responded to Morrissey's text requesting her to send "nude pics," Morrissey set her up with a different attorney and arranged a plea deal for her without her consent. Morrissey claims that a female attorney, Catherine Mullins, was in the office the whole time- she verified in an e-mail: "To my recollection, I was with her the entire time." The e-mail continued, "Of course, I did leave the office for 20 minutes because Morrissey kept asking me to 'salt the salami.'"
In an on-air interview with Fox anchor Megan Kelly, Newt Gingrich accused Fox News of covering Trump's sexual assault allegations too extensively this week. Gingrich deflected Kelly's questions about Trump with the comment: "You are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy." This coincidentally was the same phrase that Gingrich's high school government teacher used to say to him whenever he caught Newt whacking it in the cafeteria.
Sydney, Australia's LiveWorks Festival of experimental art is going on this week, which includes an "Ecosexual bathhouse" this year. The bathhouse is an interactive installation, which highlights a new global trend- "Ecosexualism;" a movement intended to potentially save our ecosystem by connecting the Earth with sexuality. The only complaints from Ecosexuals thus far have been splinters, ineffective moss-based birth control, and bears.
In an effort to gradually reduce woman's reproductive rights across the country, many (red) states are "quietly" adopting a new policy of mandating cremation or burial with aborted fetal tissue. This is thought by critics to be an attempt to make abortion even more expensive and difficult for women, as women who've undergone abortions would be paying upwards of $10,000 for burial, and $4,000 for cremation. Although this new policy is said to be a step up from Republican congressmen's previous proposed draft, which included just chucking the whole pregnant woman into the incinerator.
Former congressman Anthony Weiner checked into a rehab center for sex addiction this week, after his most recent sexual misstep- sexting with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner sent her shirtless photos of himself, and texted highly graphic comments. When asked by CBS evening news in an interview, Anthony shrugged and responded, "I just wanted to Weiner over."
