#1 I heard Drudge tonight too Long Haired Mr. This is pretty funny. Not a chance in hell this getting on the news hour report. And even less on anything national, like Soaprah. Those documents are sealed and sealed by a top end canidate from Mass that has been on the top of everything.

#2 As a citizen who actually spent a primary vote on Ryan, I am of the opinion that the divorce record geenie just left the bottle and won't be going back in any time soon. The "steely eyes" of the journalists as they stuck mikes in Ryans face could barely mast the glee of getting to google "SEX CLUBS, avante gard" on the Tribunes computers. It is Christmas morning for these reporters, and I predict this will become a central distraction to the Kerry campaign.
As for GW, if he has had sex in the oval office, I am pretty comfortable we know who it was with...

#3 How many journalists would have bothered with this story if Ryan had been married to a dog instead of "Seven of Nine"?

#4 if it could hurt a Republican? She could looklike Linda Tripp and they'd be on it

#5 Sadly, Capsu78 may be right.

In the case of Ryan it was a sex scandal without any sex, without any infidelity, where Ryan's ex said that her ex would make a good senator.

Doesn't seem there is much slope left in the slippery slope.

#6 Capsu might be able to back me up on this since he's also an Illinois resident.

Ryan was toast not because of a sex-less sex scandal. He was toast because he lied to GOP leadership when he told them that there wasn't anything unseemly in the sealed papers. He was toast because he was as inspiring as rice krispies left in milk for about 6 hours.

Mainly he was toast because he was losing badly to Obama.

#7 With respect to Kerry, I don't want the details for two reasons:
1. I want to see whether America recognizes what exactly Kerry is.
2. Salacious details would probably only make Kerry more electable for a high percentage of the zipperheads who masquerade as our fellow citizens.

If Ryan had been a Democrat, the details would have only ensured his election. The Democratic Party of Massachusetts re-nominates Barney Frank every two years and he is repeatedly reelected. Talk about having ugly details available in the public forum; did you ever read the text of Stephen Gobie's personal ad -it's more nauseous than Roseanne Barr in a Speedo.
