[Politics] The beast with two backs (and four chins)

[davywavy]

Well, the newspapers are full of it this morning; Deputy Prime Minister John "Two Shags" Prescott had an affair with his secretary. In some ways this isn't a surprise - Westminster seem to be a hotbed of horseplay and another officer of government having extra-curricular frolics is neither here nor there these days. The real surprise to me is that there was a woman out there willing to rummage under his capacious gut in the hopes of finding wedding tackle under there.

Looking at the history of affairs in Parliament, the old chestnut of power being an aphrodisiac was never more true. What else could explain that these men ever had a sex life of any sort, never mind with women who weren't getting paid for it?



Now, if power is an aphrodisiac we can assume that women are attracted to powerful men and so many of you lot will be harbouring secret lusts for one or another politician. As such, a poll:

They are all terrifying, I'd rather be celibate...

in fact I'd rather go through female circumsision and have my vagina surgically closed.

I could just see you with robin cook, you'd have beautiful ginger et-babies!

[tooth-fairy.livejournal.com]

take that back

now

you horrid boy

[flamma-lupus.livejournal.com]

it's true, all the hot dreams I have of you are when you're with robin cook...

Now, now ... Clinton was fully satisfied with just a 'hummer' - but that can pose its own risks, unless you intend to wire your jaw shut too.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Well, she's already dating one priapic gnome...

[flamma-lupus.livejournal.com]

nonono, he's a leprechaun!

By 'other' I mean none of them... I don't find power an aphrodisiac, I find intelligence, a quirky sense of style, good manners, and dare I say it, reasonably good looks an aphrodisiac. Call me shallow, I don't care, I have a boyfriend who ticks all 4 boxes, so ner! :-)

[tooth-fairy.livejournal.com]

I'd say that my boyfriend ticks all 4 boxes as well but Dave will just start calling him a gnome again

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Quirky sense of style?

You're kidding!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I refuse to believe that any woman could resist this:

[medusa-nw.livejournal.com]

Ooh I say, I think you may be right...

[gwaunquest.livejournal.com]

So Are you still lusting after Lady T or is there another power weilding female who turns your trousers into a marquee?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

It's not so much lust as a healthy respect for a superior intellect :)

Robin "Priapic Gnome" Cook

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

The one I have ticked are entirely contingent on me being able to make bucketloads of money by selling my story to the tabloids. Although Boris does tick all the boxes in my Tory Boy sekrit shame...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

What's shameful about fancying Boris? Perfectly normal I would have said.

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

Because he's a dumb blonde?

[vulgarcriminal.livejournal.com]

I'd totally do Bill.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Deedes?

[vulgarcriminal.livejournal.com]

Eh? Your enormous and perverse brain has overpowered me.

It's a scary analogy, but you can see this phenomona reflected in the Camarilla. Nine times out of ten, why does it seem the GM is dating a girl that shouldn't be giving him the time of day? I think it's a Miltonian case of "Better to reign in Hell then serve in Heaven."

This may seem a rather sexist theory, but cases of the reverse are rare...however the percentages are rising.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

It's perfectly true - when I was NC I was going out with a complete scorcher.

[tooth-fairy.livejournal.com]

If the women outnumbered the men in the Camarilla to the same extent that men currently outnumber women and if women held a lot of ST positions...

then you'd see the reverse

Reading about that whole thing in the paper made me feel quite, quite ill. And the woman really isn't that bad looking - what's wrong with her?

I ticked Boris. Because it would be hilarious.
