Florida Source: Sex Accusation Against Lieutenant Governor ‘Total Bullsh*t’

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 2 Comments

Just talked to a Florida source who assures me that there is no truth to the accusations made against Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll. The claim, made by a disgruntled ex-employee, that Carroll had a lesbian affair with her assistant Beatriz Ramos is “total bullsh*t,” my source says.

Known to friends as “Bibi,” Ramos is widely respected by Florida Republicans as a hard-working campaign operative. “Bibi is a fine Christian lady,” my source says. “She worked her tail off for Republicans all over the state in 2010. . . . She’s just a total sweetheart.” Ramos is “in her late 30s or early 40s . . . not a 20-something Barbie doll.”

The accusations against Carroll, are “insane,” my source says, but because the non-existent “scandal” has been given nationwide publicity by the media, the charges have had the effect of making Ramos’s life “a living hell.” Among other things, the lieutenant governor’s assistant felt compelled to delete her personal Facebook page.

Carroll, who has been married nearly 30 years, denies the accusations made by a former state employee who was fired last year.

Rule 5 Monday

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 5 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho


Loath as I am to deny people their weekly fix of life-enhancing Rule 5 linkagery in a timely fashion, sometimes I have to crawl out of the burrow and spend time with friends to maintain what’s left of my fragile sanity, and so it was yesterday. Here at last is your panorama of pulchritude, ladies and gentlemen of the commentariat; be advised that some of the following links are most definitely not safe for work, and take appropriate action.


Nice turnout this week, led by Laughing Conservative with Holly Peers. Next up, imNsho with Stacy Keibler, Fishersville Mike with Washington Kastles cheerleaders, Reaganite Republican with Fox News’ Andrea Tarantos, Zion’s Trumpet with Rachel Burr, and the Rio Norte Line with Georgina Dorsett. Randy’s Roundtable takes a midweek break for Nicky Whelan and Jessica Perez, while Dustbury checks in with Deborah Cox and Emmy Rossum.


A View From The Beach looks at Demi Lovato and the bath salt rappers, some blonde dragging her pussy down the beach, Drunk Oregonian Demands Skank, Mermaids Stop Work In Zimbabwe, Olympians Conspire To Breed Master Race, Hot chick does cool stunts, and Kate Upton drives anorexics crazy.


Soylent Green begins the week with a shout-out to tits of the British variety, Allie Rose for evening awesome, Monday Motivationer Brittany, Tuesday Titillation with Andressa, Humpday Hawt Daniella, A.M. Awesome, Friday Corsetcare II, Hug A Hun, and what seems to be a soccer-related post. Or maybe not. Also, Tara Radovic!


El Opinador Compulsivo appears to have discovered the apotheosis of Rule 5. In addition, there’s Tiffany Toth, Liv Tyler, Marilyn Monroe, pix at the pool, indoor and outdoor candlelight shots, a bedtime pic, and a tribute to exercise.


Proof Positive serves up Naomi Campbell, vintage babe Vivien Leigh, and some Sex In Advertising. The Camp Of The Saints adds Jessica Gomes and the Rule 5 News. Elsewhere, Three Beers Later finds definitive proof that Buzzfeed is gay (NTTAWWT), also, something for the gentlemen and ladies both. First Street Journal has women in uniform contemplating the future, and on a similar theme, the Jerseynut offers a portfolio of IDF women. Finally, the POH Diaries wraps up this week’s roundup with some Emma Stone playing Gwen Stacy from The Amazing Spider Man.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: ‘You Know Who Likes Killing Babies? Jews Do!’

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 16 Comments

The headline is not a direct quote, but this is:

“[T]he president has an incredible record of support and advocacy on the issues, domestically, that Jews care about — fighting, for example, to make sure that women have the right to make their own reproductive choices . . .”

OK, so why does the Democratic National Committee chairwoman insist that “reproductive choice” is such an important issue that “Jews care about,” in a way that gentiles do not?

Are there no pro-life Jews? Is there some specific ethnic, religious, or cultural reason why Jews are devoted to keeping abortion legal?

Perhaps someone could ask her a few questions like this, because otherwise people would be compelled to guess that what Debbie Wasserman-Schultz actually meant to say is (a) most Jews vote Democrat, and (b) Democrats are the Party of Abortion.

Any other interpretation could be anti-Semitic, causing people to think that this bloody horror was inflicted upon our nation specifically by Jews.

Not me, of course. I blame the Episcopalians.

UPDATE: I was concerned this post might push the “deliberately provocative headline” thing a bit too far, but I’m reassured by Yuval Levin’s horror at DWS’s claim that abortion is a Jewish value:

Politicians used to insult Jewish voters by implying that all they cared about was Israel. Surely this is much worse.

Meanwhile, in the comments below, an observant Jewish reader points out that, quite logically, the pro-abortion enthusiasm of liberal Jews has had the effect of making conservative Jews the fastest-growing segment of the Jewish population. The same is true among Protestants, I would add. The future belongs to the fertile.

Florida: The Crazy State

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 12 Comments

The competition for Craziest State in the Union has always been fierce. It has been said that South Carolina is too small to be a republic, but too large to be a lunatic asylum. Yet in recent decades, California has been recognized as foremost in sheer madness, rivaled only by Louisiana. Now, however, California must yield the crown:

For the first time, Florida’s Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll is defending herself publicly about being accused of being involved in a sex scandal.
Lt. Governor Carroll made the comments Saturday in Orange Park, at the opening of a campaign office for Mitt Romney.
Carletha Cole claims she walked in on a sexual encounter between Carroll and Carroll’s travel aide, Beatriz Ramos. Cole worked as an administrative assistant to Carroll. Cole is a grandmother and a minister.
Carroll says, “The problem is that when you have these accusations that come out, it’s not just one person you’re attacking. It’s an entire family. My husband doesn’t want to hear that. He knows the type of woman I am. I mean, my kids know the type of woman I am. For twenty-nine years – I’m the one that’s married for twenty-nine years. The accuser is the one that’s been single for a long time. So usually black women that look like me don’t engage in relationships like that.”

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? As I understand this: Cole accuses Carroll of engaging in a lesbian affair with her female assistant, and Carroll’s defense is “usually black women that look like me don’t engage in relationships like that”? What is that supposed to mean?

What does the fact that Carroll is black — or what she looks like — have to do with whether or not she did what she was accused of doing?

Perhaps “Witness 9” has some relevant testimony, because apparently the word “relevant” is pretty damned elastic in Florida.

UPDATE: As longtime readers probably expected, I have spent a good 15 or 20 minutes trying to find a photo of Beatriz Ramos, guessing that she’s probably young and attractive. But my efforts to lock down the “Beatriz Ramos bikini photo” Google-bomb have so far produced no results, because it seems “Beatriz Ramos” is a far more common name than you might expect.

As to what Carroll meant by “black women that look like me,” I think the lieutenant-governor meant, “very attractive black women,” because she is, after all, a Republican, unlike such ugly (and therefore potentially lesbian) black women as Maxine Waters, Corrine Brown or other female members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Maybe that’s what she meant. I’m just guessing.

I’m also just guessing that Lt. Gov. Carroll’s accuser is one of those disgruntled incompetent types who are a nuisance in any workplace, and who like to threaten lawsuits when they finally screw up bad enough to get fired. OK, maybe that’s more than just a guess:

Cole, who was arrested last October on charges of illegally taping a conversation with the Republican lieutenant governor’s chief of staff, contends Ramos set her trash can on fire after they had an argument. . . .
Cole, who was fired from her job as a senior program analyst last September about a month before she was arrested, also contends Ramos, a special assistant to the lieutenant governor, was living at Carroll’s home. Cole claims that at one point she was ordered to find adjoining hotel rooms for Carroll and Ramos when they traveled.

Ah, yes: The lieutenant governor wants a hotel room that adjoins her travel aide’s hotel room, ergo, they’re having a lesbian affair. The disgruntled incompetent logic is impeccable!

Anybody else guessing that Cole got hired her “senior program analyst” job during a previous Democratic administration in Tallahassee? Anybody else guessing that Cole’s lawyer is a Democrat? Because I’m detecting a distinct aroma about this alleged “sex scandal.”

Smells kinda like . . . Chicago. IYKWIMAITYD.

Satan Loves the Media ‘Veepstakes’

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 23 Comments

There is nothing — nothing — in politics that is less useful than pundits sitting around blathering about who the presidential nominee is going to choose as his running mate. Grant that most pundit blather about politics is fairly useless, and yet there is still a special place in Hell reserved for people who waste our valuable time playing the “veepstakes” game.

Nia-Malika Henderson of the Washington Post earns herself another million years of excrutiating torment in the afterlife for “Bobby Jindal’s Stock on the Rise,” the infernal hosts will inflict unimaginable pain on Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times for “Pawlenty Looked at as Romney Running Mate,” and Beelzebub is stockpiling extra brimstone in anticipation of the infinite horrors Alexander Bolton of The Hill has earned in recompense for imposing “John Thune rising: GOP senator on Romney’s veepstakes and his future” on mankind.

If you are tempted to click one of those links and actually read one of those worthless wastes of pixels, I urge you to resist that temptation. Reading “veepstakes” articles will destroy your soul. They are Satan’s snares, as are all cable-news veepstakes roundtable discussions, and the pundits who participate in them are all doomed to burn in the same circle of Hell as Tom Eagleton and Nelson Rockefeller.

More Cause for Panic at Obama HQ

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 6 Comments

Mitt Romney’s “Restore Our Future” super-PAC raised a record $20 million in June, yet another signal that Team Obama’s hoped-for financial advantage in the 2012 campaign has failed to materialize.

The latest flurry of Democrat attacks on Romney’s private-sector experience — the frantic screams of “Bain! Bain! Bain!” — must be seen for what they are, evidence of fear-driven desperation. And even CNN is now compelled to admit the truth:

Facts don’t support Obama’s charges against Romney

I repeat: “Ride right through them — they’re demoralized as hell!”

Professor Pervo’s Subsidized Wanking Class and the Higher Education Bubble

Posted on | July 16, 2012 | 21 Comments

The people pushing “comprehensive sexuality education” in your child’s school see nothing amiss in Tom Kubistant’s pedagogical methodology:

A college instructor at Western Nevada College is accused of requiring students to masturbate and publicly reveal personal sex-fantasies in order to pass a “human sexuality” class, according to a federal complaint filed in U.S. District Court last month.
Tom Kubistant, the instructor, allegedly forced freshman and late-high school students to “openly discuss their orgasms” and masturbate, according to the federal complaint, filed by former Western Nevada College student and aspiring social worker Karen Royce, 60.
Kubistant “locked the classroom door” and played a “90-minute movie… depicting females engaging in sex and having an orgasm,” Royce’s complaint says.
He also allegedly told the class, which included high school students taking the class for college credit, he would “increase their sexual urges to such a height that they won’t be able to think about anything other than sex.”
Kubistant “announced to the entire class they must masturbate if they intended to pass the class,” according to the complaint.

(Hat-tip: Ace of Spades HQ.) Kubistant’s course, entitled “Human Sexuality,” was offered by the Psychology Department at Western Nevada College and, according to the lawsuit, the “course catalog identified the class as having high transferability and relevant as to the areas of social sciences, education and humanities and public service.” The WNC catalog said the objectives of Kubistant’s class “have been aligned with the recommended outcomes from the American Psychological Association and the WNC requirements for freshmen level general education courses.”

Western Nevada College receives federal education funds, and students can use federal grants or loans to pay their tuition. Is Kubistant’s class the kind of “education” that you, as a taxpayer, consider a worthwhile expenditure of your hard-earned money? Are masturbation and pornography so vital to American society that they must be subsidized by taxpayers and taught by such “expert” instructors as Tom Kubistant?

Without regard to any social-conservative, religious, personal or moral attitudes toward the content of Kubistant’s class, isn’t there a limited-government libertarian argument to be made against this use of taxpayer dollars? Can you say, Higher Education Bubble?
