Breaking News: The Associated Press says J D Vance did not have sex with a sofa.

The wire service fact-checked the claim and declared in its headline on Wednesday, “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.”

It did not address the issue of whether or not he wanted to have sex with the sofa.

Have they spent every second with him when he was alone with a ripe old sectional? Perhaps it was a Barcalounger and in his joy he thought it was a sofa? Men do tend to exaggerate when it comes to sexual predilictions.

11. Hunter Thompson explained "pig-fucker politics" in his book "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail":
Thu Jul 25, 2024, 11:53 AM
Jul 2024

“This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”


This is exactly that, but with a couch.

Nor is it polite to call him a Divan Diddler or a Chesterfield Chingado. Also, kindly cease and desist with slurs like Loveseat Lothario or Futon Fucker. Thank you.

I find that highly unlikely. I’m still going with him being a divan diddler until all settees are accounted for.
