re: #126 Killgore Trout
Very selective memory. I can easily google up old photoshops of Bin Laden and Dubbya having anal sex. Clinton blue dress/bj commentary is still popular. There’s much to criticize about ODS sufferers but sexual innuendo in nothing new.
re: #130 J.D.
The Bush hatred rhetoric got pretty raw.
Killgore & JD: I agree that crude sexual innuendo (no pun intended) in general is nothing new; I think what Chapman’s pointing out are the images of the president, ah…violating America sexually. (The Uranus connection, for lack of a better term..)
I don’t remember that metaphor at all with Bush or Clinton, and I certainly don’t remember multiple instances of it, or of “respectable” magazines like National Review taking part. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
