Interesting times

A lawyer who represented the so-called “D.C. madam” says he has phone records that could influence the outcome of the presidential election, and he’s threatening to release one or more names on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court if he’s denied a hearing on his right to distribute them.
Montgomery Blair Sibley, the late madam Deborah Palfrey’s colorful attorney, has been subject to a restraining order since 2007 barring him from releasing the information, which he says includes 815 names, addresses and Social Security numbers of Verizon Wireless customers.
“Time is of the essence because people are casting votes in primaries and caucuses,” he says. “I believe this information is relevant to that political discourse.”
...He would not say if he was surprised by a National Enquirer report last week that alleged Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had engaged in five extramarital affairs. Cruz, currently in second place in the GOP contest, vigorously denied the report on Friday, and in doing so uncapped mainstream media coverage.

Trump has bragged about his serial infidelity and Clinton has lived in an adulterous open relationship for decades. Would Cruz be held to a different standard for some reason?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Would Cruz be held to a different standard for some reason?

Yes. Because it is the hypocrisy of pretending to be "holier than thou", above sinning, bible thumping..... while secretly cheating on his wife, lying to the public who elected him to office, and shaming not only his family but anyone who supported him believing his lies.

This is the reason. It isn't another standard. It is the same standard that all people are held to and to which hypocrites should especially be held.

What Trump has done as a private citizen is his business. It is between him and his wife(wives)and his children as part of his family. That is the PAST. If Trump does become President, then it does become OUR business as well IF he is acting in an immoral way while in office.

Clinton, well his despicable actions in office also were OUR business because what he did morally as President, reflects on the entire Country. Demeaning the office is the term. Now that he is not President, he can fornicate with ducks for all I care.

You know I don't think this has much to do with Cruz. The timing doesn't work. If the information was from 2008 and prior was Cruz even around?

It would be much more interesting if it was Kasich who was in these records. Or better yet Sanders. What would Bernies Bros say if he was dipping his wick in the honey pot back then. He certainly looks like somebody that pays for it. I bet he does weird stuff. A furry or something.

CF, it makes a difference to me because of his unctuous, televangelizing campaigning style. Odious.

"unctuous, televangelizing campaigning style"

Name me someone who doesn't? :)

I'm no Cruz fan, and I get it, the whole hypocrite thing. But again, which of the candidates isn't?!? It's just a matter of WHICH hypocrisy and WHICH sermonizing is important to you.

Trooper brings up a good point about timing, but I suspect Cruz was travelling to DC often as Texas Solicitor General and a professor covering the Supreme Court.

Frankly, I think his attitude should be that of the French politician facing extortion from the KGB over revealing pictures with his mistress who said, "Publish away. Just make sure I get copies of any good ones!"

Trooper York said...

I think you have to think out of the box. Hee.

What if the names to be revealed are someone other than Cruz but who is in the mix.

Can you say Paul Ryan boys and girls?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

It's just a matter of WHICH hypocrisy and WHICH sermonizing is important to you.

We are talking, in this particular instance, about sexual infidelity, prostitution and the hypocrisy of pretending to be a pure Christian above sin and thumping the Bible while lying about it. Not that I care about what people do sexually. Just don't be fake about it. Preaching to US while doing the opposite of what you preach.

"unctuous, televangelizing campaigning style" Perfect description of Cruz's campaigning and the main reason that he gives me the visceral creeps.

If the hypocrisy were to be Bernie Sanders driving an expensive auto like an Audi R8 while telling everyone else to walk I would be just as annoyed at that. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad....I know that this rumor is false. Just putting it out there as an example :-)

Hillary Clinton with her 'we were dead broke' fairy tale. Liar and hypocrite.

You brought up Trump and his sexual, marital history. While some people might care about Trump's past (I don't care), the issue is that Trump was a private citizen at that time and wasn't preaching to everyone else about fidelity or abstinence.

Right on, though, politicians are pretty much liars and snake oil carnival barkers, so we shouldn't believe more than 20% of what they say.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Trooper is correct. I might be someone else who is going to be exposed. Wouldn't it be great if it were Hillary!!

ndspinelli said...

With all the lies, lobby money, etc., does anyone here give a shit if someone is paying for it? If you do, you need to take a step back and look @ the big picture.

ndspinelli said...

Buying pussy is the most honorable thing these shitbirds do.

The Dude said...

That depends on whose money they are spending. The Clintons get all they want for free.

Trooper York said...

I just think it is an unexpected person who will get slimed. Maybe Mitch McConnell. Karl Rove. Even Ben Carson. You never know. It is too predictable for it to be just Ted Cruz.

Personally I agree with Nick. Who cares?

The only reason it is important is if the One True Ted is named he will have to stop slut shaming Melania.

Trump is hedonist of the old school. He has multiple wifes and bimbos in his past. Most of which has come out. Although I think he was a serial monogamist. If Trumps past is a problem for you he will never be your choice.

Trooper York said...

Cruz is presenting himself as a pillar of rectitude and Christian conservative virtue. If it turns out he is not he takes a big hit.

Trump is presenting himself as a loudmouth New York Values Bully Douchebag. If it turns out he is not .....well that isn't going to happen. What you see is what you get.

Trooper York said...

I think that is what I like best about Trump. His honesty.

His Johnny Carson story speaks to that. It makes him look bad. But he still told it. I think he did because he might have learned something from it. It would be easy enough to lie and say he pretended to fire the two guys and gave them jobs somewhere else in his organization. He might have learned from that situation. Or from thinking about it as it is obviously on his mind since he brought it up. That is why he is ride or die with his campaign manager.

He is honest in his douchebaggery.

deborah said...

"That is why he is ride or die with his campaign manager."

A conservative trait is loyalty.

Chip Ahoy said...

Bimbos???!!!1! These are beautiful women, incredible women, spectacular women, all of the women I know are fantastic. I'm surrounded by spectacular beautiful, capable and accomplished women. You should see… All levels, *makes levels hand motion* incredible women all over, all levels … You should hear the languages they speak, it's a cacophony over here with the languages, It's amazing. It's a veritable harem of beautiful amazing stunning women. Amazing women. The best. *snap*

Whew, I hate it when aggressive channelers intrude like that.

This is why conservativism has taken a back seat to the Marxist left march of progressive collectivism. They own the morality game. While conservatives try to uphold a higher moral standard, the leftists simply advocate for any social behavior as being morally relative. Homosexuality, sexual curiosity, infidelity, open relationships, and the fringy-er polyamory, incest, pedophilia, etc. being permissible, without reservation or judgement. Why do you think things like abortion are so heavily contested? A right made out of whole cloth in 1973? Why do you think anti-sodomy laws were struck down? Homosexual marriage acceptance? LGBT laws being passed? It's because the left has won at the morality game and substituted it with their own. Conservativism has lost. Don't believe me? Then why does anyone with a D by their name gets an automatic 240 electoral votes? Why are those blue states there to give it to them?

It doesn't matter who is on that list? As long as they are an R so that the D's can destroy you with it and then the rest of the R's will abandon you as a hypocrite. The left wins again and will continue to do so. The circular firing squad is on full auto.

I read the guy's spiel and I don't think he's got anything. Just looking for his 15 minutes.

Maybe he's seen the third of the "Die Hard" movies too often.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

They say the Hildabeast swings both ways and Foster was the love of her life.

But, if he's got anything, it may well be on Cruz. If that interview on avengersocial is for real, it fits the pattern of the video - which, granted, we have yet to see - of him going in and out of a DC hotel with someone other than Heidi.

"But, if he's got anything, it may well be on Cruz."

It's kinda sad what things get some people all excited. Then if you find out a man might actually respect his vows and religion, you'll be so disappointed - maybe even hate him for it.

Cruz is a phony.

You can deny it all you want, but he is.

And phony goes all the way through.
