The full story of the Jack Ryan Blues Implosion:

Actress Jeri Ryan accused ex-husband Jack Ryan of insisting she go to "explicit sex clubs" in New York, New Orleans and Paris during their marriage -- including "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling."

Jack Ryan wanted her to have sex with him while others watched, the star of "Boston Public" alleged.

The Republican U.S. Senate candidate dismissed his ex-wife's allegations as "ridiculous accusations" and "smut" that she was dishing out without concern about how it would make their young son "feel about his parents or himself."

I always think to myself when I see an uptight conservative, "What are they into when I'm not looking? Bunny suits? Diapers?"

Now we know.

But also, read what Eric Zorn says:

I can't blame him for wanting to keep those sorts of allegations under wraps. They're very personal, they may reflect only a minor and brief dalliance in the "Eyes Wide Shut" world; or simply a nasty invention during the custody wrangle. He refused during a Monday news conference to deny them directly.

But I can and do blame him for this grotesque and ongoing attempt to hide his own alleged peccadilloes behind his little boy.

His invocation to me of his son's health problems and his incessant references Monday night to his son's need to be sheltered from these unpleasant allegations is an obscene misuse of his status as a father.

1. Another "family value"!

My sister and her husband belong to a reformed church, and he spends a small fortune on ppv porn.
Sister thinks it's ok because.... he falls asleep part way thru!!!

LOL!

2. You know, as far as I'm concerned, adults deserve privacy.

If a couple wants to swing, swing! But the minute you use coersion to force your partner, you are a slimeball.

4. Icono, I agree, however when they use their religion to

criticize others and proclaim themselves morally better than me et al, after telling me about the porno, they gave up their privacy and are total hypocrites.

5. Yep---it's the hypocrisy, Ryan!

3. I saw a study a year ago

that showed that PPV porn increased by a large percentage when Southern Baptist conventions booked most of the hotel rooms up. Something like 27% higher PPV porn usage rates than without a Baptist convention.

When it first broke into the press, one of the leaders of the Southern Baptists vowed to set conventions only where the hotel cable systems would not allow x-rated stuff - except he found out that there weren't any.

Christian family values - putting one's wife into bondage and having her whipped and sexually used in public; watching porn during Baptist conventions. my, my, my. What a deal. And these people want to tell us what to do with our bodies and our society.
I wish there was a smilie with superhysterical, sidesplitting, inane laughter, 'cause that is what this whole issue makes me feel.


I wonder (again) what the freepers are making out of all of this. Are they a$$-kissing apologistical ignorami, or have they changed?

Hmmm. One worry. What if Ryan "see da light" and decideds to withdraw? Another candidate might just get the rebound and cause some trouble for Obama. On the other hand, Obama has been a perfect gentleman and letting Mr. Family Values do himself in.

6. I have a feeling he might withdraw. But I still think Obama has it.

Ryan's stink has permiated the whole state's GOP herd.

7. If you ever listen to fundie talk radio- porn addiction is one of the

biggest problems that they (married couples) call in about.
