"Leslie Cockburn, a Democratic congressional nominee in Virginia, accused her Republican opponent, Denver Riggleman, on Sunday of... being the author of Bigfoot-themed erotica."

The NYT reports.
In an interview on Monday, Mr. Riggleman said he was writing a book about people who believe in Bigfoot but denied that it contained any erotic content. He said any eyebrow-raising images of Bigfoot on his social media accounts were a result of “a 14-year practical joke between me and my military buddies.”...

Mr. Riggleman says the whole thing is a joke that has been misconstrued by Ms. Cockburn. The naked drawing of Bigfoot that she tweeted was a gag that was sent to him by friends — although it was a reference to the title of a real second Bigfoot book that he says he is currently writing: “The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him.”

He describes the book as “a sort of joke anthropological study on Bigfoot believers.”
Here's the ludicrous tweet by Cockburn:



It's just by chance that Riggleman and Cockburn have smutty looking names.

How did Democrat Cockburn get a hold of her challenger's private email or cell pics? The NSA? Mueller?

The guy should own it. Make light of it. Anoounce publication date. Ask for photos or sightings from voters.Garner votes. Amazing that CockBurn gonna go with prudish sexual attack.

LOLZ.

Somehow Bigfoot survives year after year after year, without evidence of any scat, any extinguished campfires, any Bigfoot nests, any Bigfoot middens, any dead Bigfoots, any Bigfoot encampments......

Crikey!! How credulous can anyone be?

Who knew that there was such a thing as "Bigfoot erotica"? But on the offchance that Ms. Cockburn is attracted to such, I'll confess that I wear a size 15 2E shoe. Ms Cockburn can send me appropriate photos and maybe we can go from there. And if that's not enough, I have a friend who wears a size 17 shoe.

Cockburn is a candidate? I thought it was a symptom.

Cockburn is a good name for her.

BTW, one of the places where I spend time has tons of hick-cons. This is very Western and Northern US.

There are folks who really do believe this squatch stuff. Most folks appreciate that it's only a way to make dough. Same for the popular teen books/movies re vampires.



Anywho, there are also some hippy types around those parts:

Aargh, I take it all back. Looked her up on Google and found she'd been a producer for 60 minutes among other things. She's a 66 year old grandmother of four living in semi-retirement in rural Virginia. Trump got elected and I suppose "triggered" her to put on a pussy hat and go march.

Never go near crazy.

Olivia Wolde's mother spent the 80s chasing the big Christic cia conspiracy which was popular in Hollywood everything from Cagney and lacey to lethal weapon indulged in it.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

Cockburn is clearly desirous of having larger cock in her horrid little Leftwing life.

That bunch of jackalopes took an attack on a rogue contra leader, Eden pastora carried out by an Argentine guerilla, and spun it to a 9/11 denialist type lawsuit that went splat in the Miami courthouse.

BTW, a hickory shirt is a real thing. Tons of dudes wear them. Every single day.


And, cutting the bottoms of your jeans allows them to rip rather than snag and catch if yur tripped up in the forest. Also, some claim there's a benefit re limiting and removing water wicking.



P.S. It's not impossible to imagine that folks telling me this stuff are F-ing w/ me, or sparing me the finer points. I know I'm in constant dumb-down mode re them. Likely a two way street.



I dunno.

Bullshit.

Presumably the OED doesn't provide guidance re a ludicrous tweet, in particular re the DJT era.

It'd be cool if Althouse could be a [WC] minor contributor to the OED re what is a ludicrous tweet: 'DJT is good fun and standing up for the white working men w/ tons of dough (aka Putin) in his tweets. This unhinged gal is ludicrous re her tweets.'



Carry on.

Riggleman is a 'smutty looking' name? What's that all about? I suppose you're still all butt-hurt about the Reds thumping the Brewers 20-5 in their last 2 games up there in Milwaukee earlier this month.

Her earlier conspiracism adopted by the Kerry committee, recycled by Gary Webb now makes it onto the small screen as snowfall.

"My opponent Denver Riggleman, running mate of Corey Stewart, was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist. Now he has been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica. This is not what we need on Capitol Hill."

The existence of Bigfoot being slightly more probable than the person in question being a "white supremacist".

Fabulous tweet, though. I should save it so I can show it to the grandchildren when reminiscing about what life was like in Clown World.

n.n म्हणाले...

The anthropomorphic bigfoot is a parody of the feminist stereotype of masculine males.

Leland म्हणाले...

Is that her maiden name or did she marry into it. And considering that many names actually have a history supporting them, like Schumacher for Shoe Makers; I'm not sure I want to be with anyone sexually with that surname. For a guy, I don't want my cock to burn. For a woman, I'm sure she doesn't want cock burn, which sounds like rope burn. But I guess they do make KY for that.

Joan म्हणाले...

Tommy beat me to it. No public figure is allowed to be funny anymore. Or at least the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are acting like having a sense of humor is grossly in appropriate in the Trump Era. This is what #Resist boils down to, and is the main reason why they just don’t get Ttump’s tweets. It really is a type of insanity. Sad!

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Leslie Cockburn is somehow related to supreme dead commie Alexander Cockburn. somehow

She is Stalin-diaper royalty.

Of course that was beyond the New York Times' purview. Bigfoot porn is less troubling.

Anthony म्हणाले...

I prefer to refer to Bigfoot by his Native American name, Sackscratch.

If you don't want Cockburn, vote Riggleman.

If you check Cockburn's internet history, you'll probably find that she's a devotee of Big Government porn. That's where handsome, jackbooted IRS stormtroopers ravish helpless taxpayers . . . who learn to love it!
