I think it is Piper.

Just for non SF folks, Willie Brown is a giant horn dog. My friend who lives in Contra Costa county has had two separate au pairs come home after nights out in the city shaking their heads about an older man they met in a bar who was 'really nice' and they told these girls "that was Willie Brown." I mean he's anxious to hang out with all the women I'd say, so it doesn't seem like Kamala could have evaded him at all. So the claim seems mighty silly to me. I never heard tho that he was a sex assaulter, just a mass flirt and suggestive talker etc. Just in the middle of this I stopped to check and found that the help he gave her was mainly appointing her to two state commissions which makes his help seem even more minimal.

I've wanted to tell this story as an example of stupid government so now I will. After all, nobody has to read it. When I first came to California it was 30 yrs ago and my husband worked for AT&T. He had to interact with the Public Utilities Commission as part of his job. He hired a woman who'd been a commissioner and she was a Republican, and a real silly billy in my view. He hired her to wrangle the old conservative commissioners. I found their conversations pretty gross at times. She was quite the butterfly among them and of course she valued my husband very much!!! I don't drink and she used to and once we were leaving a party she'd given at a yacht club and I was a bit embarrassed by her behavior with people-- not seriously but I was saying goodbye and trying to find something to say, -- leaving this party of commissioners she said "I hope you learned a lot!!!" and I said "Oh yes, I believe I'm now ready to become a commissioner myself. ha ha ha." The following week I got a manila envelope in the mail with 6 or 7 fat things stapled together from her-- they were the material on 6 or 7 commissioner jobs she hoped might interest me. I'd had zero administrative experience and in her presence had never done anything but laugh and eat big meals and tease her as much as I dared in the circumstances. I also had two infants to care for. Is that sick??? Just think of all those civil servants who'd have been interested in the work, have had ideas, and could have used the leg up and the money. I have to say my husband wasn't surprised by it at all.

She had the most botox in her head of any person I'd ever seen at that time. I felt bad for the regular women she pretended to be coming from, who couldn't afford it, because she looked so young and smooth. Maybe that was silly, since they knew she'd been the governor, but she sure was dopey with all that 'working hard for our families' guff.

"Palin, for the record, was often called a rockstar and a celebrity to the Right. The media definitely recognized how very in love conservatives were with her, and mentioned it often."

But the bastards didn't mention about how we should all be very in love with her!

Every woman I ever had relations with was apparently sleeping her way to the bottom....

speaking of Palin and flying, didn't Sacha Baron Cohen punk her on his "This Is America" show, and when she got wise to what was going on, they dropped her back at the airport without a ticket home? Wasn't it Sarah?

after researching, they simply dropped her off at the wrong airport... ;)

It's an ethos.

Wonkette discovered her a few months before her nomination! Even had a photo of the giant crab in her office!

If you were sleeping your way to the top, I would definitely look at Palin as an example, as she seems to have slept through anything of importance.

Now, if you were fucking your way to the top, good on you, as you’ve obviously put in the work, no matter how unpleasant it might have been.

You know, we're talking about people who screwed up multiple TV reality shows, which is one of a very few things The Great Pumpkin managed to get right for a time. I'm pretty convinced that was accidental, but when you underperform Trump I'm not sure how much further down you can go.

It’s always projection on the right so I am guessing that alleged truck stop graffiti in that Indiana restroom is correct Mike Pence gives great head.

$50,000 on clothes is pretty cheap. I would have got a high end Birkin or two out of that grift.

I am definitely voting for that woman. I believe in spending money on chocolate.

I can imagine Mike Pence giving head. I can't imagine Mike Pence giving great head.
