Penis. Wine. Penis Wine. That Is All, Just Penis Wine.

[font size=3]WONKETTE[/font]

by Fakakta South



Okay yes, sexting — again, and yes a dumbass politician is doing it wrong — but let this one sorta roll around on your tongue some for that heady bouquet. The Ethics Committee MP in the Australian Parliament has gotten into trouble for ethics violations! Of course he has. We can not make this up, we would be more creative.
    The LNP MP for Redlands this morning announced in Parliament that he was voluntarily stepping down while issues relating to his travel were investigated. Mr Dowling apologised to his family and friends for his behaviour. “To my children, mum, brother and sister, my extended family and friends I am sorry for the shame and embarrassment that I have caused you,” he said. [...] However, Mr Dowling insisted he had complied with all guidelines in relation to his travel. “I do not wish for this issue and for my family to be dragged through the media any longer than necessary,” he said.

Hmmm, he apologized to his mum for travel issues? Why does that sound a little maybe over the top? A little like bullshit? There’s got to be more to this than some upgraded flights if things are being “plastered” across the papers and your mum has a Sad?
    Overnight it was reported that a state MP had been exposed as a serial sexter, sending images to his secret mistress including a picture of his penis plonked in a glass of red wine.

"Plonk" is an onomatopoeia for the sound a penis presumably makes when dropped or thrust into a full wine glass, and it is also a slangy term for crappy wine.

A very good year.



1961 Haut Brion – This was a pristine bottle that has been stored at the chateau since the wine was first bottled. 1961 Haut Brion is riveting. This Bordeaux wine captures your attention. Grabbing you like a great piece of music, each sip compels you to focus on the experience. The smells, the feeling and the flavors last long after the bottle is empty. Wines like this make memories.

So what you have here is some admittedly ridiculous, and extramarital, yet consensual sex stuff between adults. Sure, everyone can get a good tee-hee out of it, maybe laughing at odd British notions of kink while remembering the downright upsetting phone conversations between Charles and CPB...

But this is different from anthony weiner in one way, in that it seems these images were sent in the context of a mutually consensual adult relationship. Merely throwing a cell phone camera and a glass of wine into the mix doesn't change that fact.

While it appears that people were aware of the relationship (and such relationships are certainly not uncommon), the evidence looks to have been furnished by the woman with whom he was in a relationship. She is making accusations of impropriety on his part. So while it was a consensual relationship, she has also consented to making it a public one that puts his ethics on trial.

Wed Aug 7, 2013, 02:15 AM
Aug 2013

Though the fact of it being consensual alone doesn't make it off-limits in any way. There may be no finding of any significant violation in terms of parliamentary rules but such rules can be violated even if a relationship is consensual. It's not just non-consensual sexual relationships that can become problematic whatever one's profession.

And i realize things are done a bit differently over there.

But I think there's a bit of crusty fudditry going on with the reflexive freakoutage over "sexting" like it's something inherently more nasty than, say, a lot of other things people do in affairs.

No one can say we are not vigilant here about where our elected officials decide to distribute photos of their penii, although we are a bit more lenient if they do it in actual RL to be fair, wrapped up in diapers eg.

But leniency is the rule when it comes to slaughtering innocents abroad includin , raping their women sodomizing, even their children.

We sure do have our ducks in a row, our priorities right where they belong and our War Criminals firmly ensconced in our culture now as honored and honorable Elder Statesmen.

Land of the Free where the location of Penii or images of Penii are strictly surveilled, discussed, headlined in tabloids, shamed, the owners either sanitized or tossed out of office depending on whether they belong to the Party of Family Values, (reelected and protected) or the other party!

Wait, which is the Party of Family Values now?? I get confused these days ...

Not too sure there's any rules about who an MP is sleeping with, and apart from the sniggering I got to do about the pics of dicks and stuff, I really don't care what they do with who, as long as it's legal.

This is an MP in the QLD state government, which is a conservative one led by a complete wanker who's wreaking damage on the state. I always begin with the safe assumption that if they're an LNP politician, then they have no ethics to start with
