How proud Tipper must be of her man, and how lucky, considering Al sleeps in the buff. Once again, it s the Republican right that is so intent on making sexuality a potent political issue. The View , in a humorous exchange that Mr. Limbaugh aired in part on his radio show, asked her audience if they d seen the picture of Vice President Al Gore on the November cover of Rolling Stone . Demurring in language, Ms. Behar made it clear that this photograph showed a very well endowed Veep, which she felt was sure to swing women voters to Gore in a big way. The View's mostly female audience whooped in response to further comments from Ms. Behar, as she intimated that more than Gore s persona is stiff.
Rumors abound on exactly who floated the airbrush bit of the story.
The Republicans will probably end up complaining that Gore's package wasn t touched down enough. The main subject of Mr. Limbaugh s show, however, and I m paraphrasing here, was that if women can be swayed by a kiss and a well endowed man, why should we be taken seriously as voters or thinking individuals. Men have been drooling, falling over and chasing after naked women for centuries and they manage to run the world. There are few men who can resist a quick glance or comment about a woman's big breasts or exposed gams or both. The fox factor has always been a burden to many women, especially ones that are less attractive.
