Allen West: GOP Rep. Reportedly Asked Wife To Be His 'Porn Star', Demanded 'Non-Negotiable' Sex Acts

[Melinda]

U.S. Rep. Allen West (R-FL) reportedly asked his wife to be his "porn star" in a hand-written letter from Iraq in 2003, detailing "non-negotiable" sex acts she was to perform on his return and ordering her to wear only two-piece bathing suits.

Former Palm Beach Post and Radar.com staffer Jose Lambiet published some of the contents of the letter on his South Florida site Gossip Extra, arguing the intimate details are news-worthy because the way the Tea Party Congressman relates to women has become an issue in his reelection race.

Lambiet said he exclusively obtained the letter written to financial advisor Dr. Angela West, whom the former Army Lt. Colonel married in 1989. Among the contents:

The congressman proceeds tells his wife he expects certain intimate acts upon his return that will be “the standard and it is non-negotiable.”

...Then: “Angela, I need to know, are you committed to being my porn star?

“I do not want to hear ‘no’ or ‘we’ll see about that.’ I want my fantasies to be with you. God has authorized you and you only as my partner for intimacy and that is what I want.”

1. And these dipshits call themselves the "pro family party".

[Fawke Em]

2. Thanks... now I have to go run a bleach bath.

[leftofcool]

38. Add lysol and take a scrub brush

[Lochloosa]

39. Never add any kind of cleaner to bleach. It can create cyanide gas.

[hifiguy]

3. Oh, brother.

Nuttier than a squirrel turd, West is.

[rocktivity]

4. If West were a different kind of person, he could turn it all into a big joke

written by a love-starved, battle-fatigued, family-missing soldier serving far from home -- and it WAS a personal letter, after all. But given the things he HAS said (like that he had a higher security clearance than the president), it IS damning.

5. Hilarious . . .

repukes are so sexually repressed, I have to believe there are far kinkier things he requested. Though the authorization from God was a little creepy . . .

[Brickbat]

6. You know, I'd really hate it if my love letters went public.

On the other hand, I'm not a dickwad U.S. representative running for reelection.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

14. This is not a love letter

This is a sexist treatise written to an educated woman who must be a fool, because she is still married to him.

[Brickbat]

18. Oh, I've written things that, without knowledge of tone, context or other conversations I've had

in the past, sound terrible and reflect poorly on me. It happens.

[KansDem]

7. What an embarrassment!

These Planned Parenthood women, the Code Pink women, and all of these women have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness...We are not going to have our men become subservient.

—Rep. Allen West (R-Fl.)

"We are not going to have our men become subservient" No, Allen, just the women...

[Enrique]

8. non-negotiable

sounds like he's putting a gun to her head.

[seabeyond]

34. sounds like divorce, to me.

just sayin.

[Eleanors38]

9. God-authorized porn star? To be fair, we don't know which god.nt

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Lots of October Surprises appearing now

[cthulu2016]

11. Gotta give this a "so what?"

[MattBaggins]

12. You might want to reflect on that

This will not sit well with most thinking women and men. This is a totally crass and uncultured way to treat your spouse. Perhaps if you were to talk with some women you might be able to better appreciate this.

[cthulu2016]

16. Thanks for the tip. I have, of course, never spoken to a woman.

And you might try talking to... maybe just people in general. It might make your internet posts less in the manner of a jerk.

I have no trouble understanding how people, including myself, read this. It does not fill me with warm feelings for Mister West.

It is, however, an intimate letter from a husband to a wife and thus is genuinely not of much interest to decent people.

[Melinda]

22. "it is, however, an intimate letter...thus is genuinely not of much interest to decent people"

Really... way to slur a large number of your fellow DUers.

Are you saying that, because I believe, based upon his legislative policies and voting record, that West is a misogynistic POS, and that because I further posted about how he treated (treats?) his wife as 2nd class CHATTEL placed here on earth to obey his every sexual command, that I am NOT a decent person?


Is this your contention? Just looking to understand your position.

[Zalatix]

20. Many apologies but doesn't this letter look a lot like BDSM talk?

[Melinda]

13. West is a misogynistic sexist POS.

That's what.

[former-republican]

30. you think

I'm thinking some DU members have never been in a combat zone writing to their girl friends , boy friends , wives or husbands

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. I was all prepared to give Brave Sir Allen a pass until that very last line.

"God has authorized you and you only as my partner for intimacy and that is what I want.”

What the fuck is that about? It sounds like something that Agent Nelson Van Alden from Boardwalk Empire would say.

[Dr. Strange]

24. Who does West think he is?

Some kind of Canadian rapper?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

37. I can say 100% without sarcasm....

....that I have more respect for a bald, mayonaise loving Canadian rapper than I would ever have for Allen West.

I'm being honest here.

[porphyrian]

17. . n/t

[Jennicut]

19. Eww.

I will now go and bleach my eyes out, thank you very much.

On the other hand, he only wants his wife to be his "porn star." Is this slightly better then a David Vitter diaper wearing prostitute hiring type? I have no idea. All I know is Repubs like their women a certain way, and that is not as progressive, intelligent feminists.

[Journeyman]

21. Interesting. A God who commands women to be "porn stars". . .

and to fulfill their partner's every fantasy. What more could a lonely soldier in Iraq want from a Supreme Being?

I guess there really are "no atheists in foxholes," and every satyr's a believer between the sheets.

[meow2u3]

23. Repukes are such pervs

Those wife rapists, men-children who use their wives as blowup dolls are not real men

[Bok_Tukalo]

25. Not what I would write

... but shows spice in a 14 year marriage along with a spiritual commitment to monogamy.

Good for them.

[former-republican]

26. Of course it's joke between a husband and wife , with a soldier , officer etc... in theater

This is just ridiculous that it made news.

[Melinda]

31. A joke? Really? If my husband told me my consent wasn't needed for him to sexually do with me...

as he wanted, he might find himself facing a rape charge. West's attitudes toward woman isn't confined to the 'theater' - check out his political history, his legislation, votes, campaign speeches, appearances on televisions, etc. He is a piece of shit who hates women, period.

[former-republican]

35. yes it's a joke

between a husband writing to his wife from within a combat zone.

Sometimes even sexy pictures are exchanged.

[Blue Owl]

27. Was that in his self-written vows?

...to have and to -- uh, never mind...

[luvspeas]

28. I didn't need to know this to know that he's a complete asshat...

but unfortunately there are lots of other people who do need convincing.

[Octafish]

29. Did they ever do Plato's Retreat with the John Boltons?

It's conservative wife swapping.

[Melinda]

32. OMG :facepalm: Really?

One edit: Jaysus, my eyes, argh!!!

[99Forever]

33. So now we are ...

... going to lower ourselves to the level of sex-gossipers?



Think I'll pass. Thanks anyway.

[factsarenotfair]

36. Well....if he remembers to take out the trash EVERY week...

I say give him anything he wants!

[cali]

40. And it's none of our business. Bad as freepers with this stupid shit.

We know nothing about their relationship. It's their business. What people do in their bedrooms is supposed to something that liberals don't care about.

Clearly some liberals are partisan hypocrites.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

42. Agree 100%. It's none of our business.

Probably more interesting, and more telling, (and also none of my business) would be the story of how/why/when the letter was given to a gossip columnist.

I don't plan to search for that back-story. The answer is probably sad. And personal.

[Xolodno]

41. You know....that was a really crapy letter....

"....are you committed to being my porn star? "....

Oh please. What good is that? Which Porn Star? Jesse Jane? Aurora Snow? Come on! I tell my wife I want her to be my porn star and she says "which one? and do we need to go to the swing club or invite some friends?"

And as usual....no matter what we do or where.....she always outlasts me and puts me to shame. The few times I have outlasted her was with the aid of vibrators....then it feels like I cheated.

These sexually repressed Republicans really need to be set free, maybe then they will have some compassion and won't be uptight so much. And they can't say "...but the Bible says..." because the Bible says a lot of conflicting info about sex (due to the the fact the society often just took the local customs in regaurds to sex)...and adultery back then was a violation of property rights. If someone has permission...its not a violation of property rights. So damnit West, head down to Hedonism in Jamaica, Desire Resort in Mexico or Sea Mountain in So Cal and let it all hang out.

[Marrah_G]

43. Ugh- I hope the woman divorces him

[AzDar]

44. Well, if Gaaaawwwwdd has authorized it...

and
