Sexy?


You may think we sit around all day and wait for gems like this to fall into our lap. Normally you’d be wrong but since we were out for a few days we can take no credit for doing any actual homework as this has been very big news in the sporting world… at least in the European Formula One racing sporting world manner of speaking.

It seems that FIA (Formual One’s governing body) HMFIC, Max Mosley is in a bit of hot water for what a British tabloid alleges as him having sex with multiple prostitutes (sometimes referred to as an “orgy”). Probably no biggie given the European sensibility regarding private affairs but the tabloid claims this particular romp to have involved “Nazi role-playing”. Woops. Story here.

Several F-1 teams have asked Mosley to stand down from his position of President. Mosley, for his part, has termed the tabs actions an “illegal invasion of privacy” but has not come out denying the event took place as described.

We're kinda with Max on this one if for no other reason than to shamelessly exploit his misfortune for the sole purpose of recalling the wisdom of P.J. O’Rourke regarding carnal pursuits and political affiliation. O’Rourke in the introduction of his masterpiece, "Give War A Chance", slices open the liberal mindset and motivation with surgical-like precision. At the very end of the intro, though, he realizes his politics leave him open to certain unsavory accusations for which O’Rourke, of course, finds the silver lining and reminds us to, perhaps, quit our own bellyaching over this matter:

“…you may be wondering-don’t I sometimes get called a Nazi? Yes, name-calling, in which conservatives such as myself are so loath to indulge, is a favorite tactic of the liberals. I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don’t let it bother me. I don’t let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal.”
