Humpty humpTHE NATION HAS A SEX COLUMN: For more than three centuries, The Nation has defined “American Erotica” with its articles about public policy or whatever. But now it has a sex columnist who will write stuff about how Obama is so sexy. [The Nation]

Another nail in the coffin of print media.

Truculent July 17, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Let’s hope the column is gender-neutral, inclusive, straight-gay–bi-transgendered, culturallly sensitive, supportive, non-judgmental, consenting, and equal. With a touch of assfucking.

SuperRounder July 17, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Congrats to JoAnn Wypijewski. Hopefully the Nation will keep her away from Lizz Winstead.

itgetter July 17, 2008 at 2:55 pm

The title of the column is the perfect balance of biblical and creepy (redundant?).

“Carnal Knowledge”

Sweet Jebus! That article made me damp in my lady parts….

nietzscheprojectile July 17, 2008 at 2:56 pm

“Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human.” That’s right. Sports, art and sex are all you need to be human. Sweet baby jesus in a handbasket.

AfghanVet July 17, 2008 at 2:56 pm

The picture is disturbing.

Nation Forum?

“I was at a conference on Kenya and I never thought this would happen to me…”

[re=38679]Truculent[/re]: Right, because the one thing keeping me from buying print media is the dearth of updates on who’s ass-fucking whom in Washington. Damn it, isn’t this what Jeff Gannon was for?

Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human.

And, like sports and art, most people who think they’re good at talking about sex are actually terrible and end up killing what little sex drive our fat country has left.

SayItWithWookies July 17, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Oh pleeeeease let the National Review respond in kind. Bill Kristol’s thoughts on sex should be just the thing to destroy the conservative movement forever.

Delicious July 17, 2008 at 3:02 pm

They should have a sex advice column for commie deviants. I’d read that.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 17, 2008 at 3:02 pm

I dont have the time or patience to read that article, so I’m just going to assume it has conclusive proof Obama is hung like a horse and ready for my services in his secret white house gym upon inauguration.

Noodle Salad July 17, 2008 at 3:03 pm

[re=38686]nietzscheprojectile[/re]: that sentence did kind of stick out.

S.Luggo July 17, 2008 at 3:04 pm

— When he leaned into Michelle as she wrapped her arms around him from behind after the New Hampshire loss, when she cradles his face in her expressive hands while kissing him, with every dap and nuzzle and palpable vibe between them, “you see love onstage,” said Harriette Cole of Ebony —

Crimminies, is The Nation in a circulation fight with Cosmo? Well, at least the column will give the girls at Jeezy something to rattle-on about besides shoes.

PS: Katrina vanden Heuvel,
You wanna pump up the numbers? Try including a Sedeku in each issue .

tsunami July 17, 2008 at 3:06 pm

gee…

i’m sure JoAnn Wypijewski wrote the original in longhand so she
could have one hand “free.”

AfghanVet July 17, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Well, if they want to sell more copies, they need a Page 6 girl, or boy, to go with it.

WadISay July 17, 2008 at 3:09 pm

From wherever you got this mouse-on-mouse sex gif, do you also have one for laptops?

freakishlystrong July 17, 2008 at 3:10 pm

my sex drive forever….

Very Hawt mouse on mouse action.

Lana Bang July 17, 2008 at 3:14 pm

That image is making me horny. Is that wrong?

Botswana Meat Commission FC July 17, 2008 at 3:14 pm

I fucking hope they’re letting (longtime actual Nation columnist) Alexander Cockburn write this.

anabellum July 17, 2008 at 3:19 pm

count me impressed…and she didnt even use the words ‘taut buttocks’….not once…

DieOnTheTurnpike July 17, 2008 at 3:20 pm

[re=38721]Lana Bang[/re]: If that is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Mahousu July 17, 2008 at 3:26 pm

I’m afraid I didn’t read the article – I just saw the line about legions of girls jumping out of their panties and immediately thought of this:

And, well, I had to go have some celery to cool down.

magic titty July 17, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Oh JoAnn…that wasn’t a sex column. That was a shitty article of nondescript platitudes inferences.

Do over!

tunamelt July 17, 2008 at 4:01 pm

[re=38716]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Isn’t that dwarf hamster on mouse action?

S.Luggo July 17, 2008 at 4:03 pm

[re=38725]anabellum[/re]: Wait for the sex-sex gal’s column about Condi. It will also include several references to quarter-bouncing and a piano.

magic titty July 17, 2008 at 4:09 pm

i’m sorry, but voting for FISA made my clitoris actually retract…obama is NOT panty-throwing worthy

pierce bottoms July 17, 2008 at 4:32 pm

i didn’t think ‘sex’ was supposed to be ‘boring.’

pierce bottoms July 17, 2008 at 4:37 pm

[re=38733]Mahousu[/re]: that is some fantastic stuff

Truculent July 17, 2008 at 4:42 pm

[re=38778]PoliticalGraffiti[/re]: “made my clitoris retract”

I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen that particular combination of words. Paints quite a vivid picture.

angryhippopotamus July 17, 2008 at 4:43 pm

Fuck The Nation’s Sex Column (see what I did there). We, the brave foot soldiers on the front lines of the war on people not like us who inhabit the tubes, need to go on the offensive. Here: http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/humpy-mouse.gif We need to spread this image in every link, every comments thread, and every email. The world shall know our end, and shall tremble in the presence of hot mouse-on-sexbot-mouse action. Join me in this crusade to bring this .gif to the uncorrupted, to those who wallow in darkness ignorant of the worlds possibilities, and most importantly, to the children.

loquaciousmusic July 17, 2008 at 5:04 pm

I don’t read
Anybody else
Because when I read The Nation
I touch myself…

Canuckledragger July 17, 2008 at 6:40 pm

If The Nation now has a sex column, I respectfully request that said column instruct Nation-contributor/CIA-stooge/JFK-retard Max Holland on how to go fuck himself.

Failing that, perhaps it could see to it that his dawg-awful revisionist tripe is no longer published there, but on the CIA homepage – as it sometimes does – where it belongs?

Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration,

I remain
Unimpressed with Max Holland

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 17, 2008 at 6:53 pm

As bad as this is, imagine if the people who write at NRO The Corner had a sex column.

Worse, imagine if the people who write for NRO The Corner had sex.

RuperttheBear July 17, 2008 at 6:54 pm

[re=38686]nietzscheprojectile[/re]: You need the next line for the full effect.

“Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human. Market culture understands this, which is why we have advertising and Paris Hilton.”

See, what this means is that the first ball at the World Series will be shot from Paris Hilton’s snatch, a photograph of which will be placed on a box of Wheaties that, when eaten, will make us truly human.

KevoTron July 17, 2008 at 7:12 pm

[re=38840]loquaciousmusic[/re]: That sir, was GENIUS!

Canuckledragger July 17, 2008 at 7:13 pm

[re=38945]RuperttheBear[/re]: I am so confused. In order to become truly human, must I eat the Wheaties? The photo of Paris Hilton’s snatch? Or Paris Hilton’s snatch?

Because I’ll gladly do the first two.

The third? This planet don’t have enough liquor for me to lick ‘er. And I’m usually considered quite accommodating… even without the hooch, I’ll do the cooch. But even I have SOME standards…

TGY July 17, 2008 at 8:20 pm

Do we really need anybody to analyze why BHO is sexy? Sort of ‘Captain Obvious’ kinda thing.

nietzscheprojectile July 17, 2008 at 8:24 pm

[re=38945]RuperttheBear[/re]: Crikey. I missed the Paris reference because I felt an aneurysm coming on. I salute your fortitude, sir.

sanantonerose July 17, 2008 at 8:38 pm

JoAnn Wypijewski, who has written widely for this and other publications about class, sex and politics on topics such as Madonna, the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, the Catholic priest scandal and torture at Abu Ghraib

Abu Ghraib? Oh goody! I await the BDSM article.

regisgoat July 18, 2008 at 8:39 am

They also need a cocktail column by Christopher Hitchens. Either than or more Katrina Vandercommiedevil pictorals.

Mr-Clark July 21, 2008 at 12:02 am

Ken Layne,

Sen. Obama is as sexy as Midge is tall. I keep thinking he is anorexic or bulimic.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr-Clark
