Did you know I once ran for office?
I had just moved back to Ithaca from Boston to finish up my undergrad work. I went out to dinner with my friend Diane and she convinced me to join some of her friends on a ticket for the SGA (Student Government Association) they called “The People’s Choice”. They wanted me to be the VP of Communications.
It was a lesson in don’t say yes until you know all the facts.
You see, little did I know the guy running for President was almost failing out of school and ended up getting kicked off the Residence Hall Association, where he was PRESIDENT, because of it (along with many other reasons). There was a kid on the ticket that acted just like that really annoying guy Jim on Martha Stewart’s Apprentice. And that was just the beginning of the drama.
The only really fun thing about the whole process was I got to do this:
Totally my idea. I’m shy, you know…
We ended up putting pics like this all over campus and even in the little napkin holders on the tables in the dining halls!
Talk about penetration 
It probably won’t be the last time I run for office. And I hope this picture comes up during the campaign!
For the longest time I was so afraid to do things like this because I was in the mindset that its this stuff that ruins political careers.
Then I thought - how boring! This kind of stuff is who I am. And if we can elect someone who liked coke we can elect someone who likes cock!
*diva snap*
What do you all think - would you elect someone who could do great things for your community but who also knew how to let loose and have fun?
Do you think it matters?

The only way things like this destroy political careers (or careers of any kind) is if you try to hide them. If your up front and proud of what you’ve done it won’t harm you.
Lies and deception (as recently proved by Lewis Libby) are the biggest downfall of politicians IMHO.
Honesty matters, besides, people who are free, fun, expressive, and secure with themselves are less likely to display the constipated expressions that so often cross George W. Bush’s face. The world needs less of those expressions and the people that make them.
Jake - Your comment made me think of Scooter’s book and how he writes all about sex with bears and such. Maybe he was trying to tell us something? haha
David - Constipation? LOL Is that what that look is?!! It all makes sense now. We totally need to get Bushy some fresh fruit!
Good for you!!!
One needs to have balance in their life…..of course you need to let loose and have a little fun too. And hey….as long as it doesn’t draw blood, leave bruises or bankrupt the economy of a small island nation, then who cares. So my answer is no. It shouldn’t matter.
Am I rambling? I think I am rambling. I took an extra sudafed with a shot of tequila.
BTW… SEXY LEGS WOOF!
AHA!!!
So you’re the one who watches Martha Stewart’s Apprentice. Who’d of thunk it?
I agree with the comments above, particularly J’s comment. In a campaign, if that’s the only bad thing they can come up with to discredit you, you’ll do just fine. Besides, that hot pic should get you votes from at least some of the men and most of the women LOL
Had to Google Libby and Bear to find out about the reference. Damn! So much for Republican fundamentalist Christian values LOL
Here’s the link to the New Yorker article if anyone else wants to read it (pretty kinky stuff).

Mason - sudafed and tequilla…and you’re awake??!! lol
J - one of the advantages of being a runner in high school and doing crew in college is big ol’ thick thighs
Thanks for noticing hot stuff!
Dave - Martha is hot as shit! Talk about the picture of female empowerment - she rocks and her show rocks! If I had some damn pom-poms I would be shakin’ em right now…
Hypoxic - some of the stuff in Libby’s book is SO GROSS. I swear, people who portray this utterly untouchable and uncorruptable Christ love just end up driving themselves crazy. The whole Bush administration should be forced to watch the movie ‘Saved’ - for real!
“Then I thought - how boring! This kind of stuff is who I am. And if we can elect someone who liked coke we can elect someone who likes cock!”
YOu get ‘em girl!!! =o) Love the site. Thanks for stopping my mine! I have blogrolled you, and will be back! See ya round the blogosphere!
Pity your not in Oz..cause Id vote for ya!
Cheers!
Just read some excerptd from Scooter’s book…
That guy is twisted!
I wonder if Cheney ever read the book. Imagine writing a book like that and sitting with your boss, the VP of the United States, and talking about bear sex. EWW!
