"There are pieces of varying length and wallop on sloth, stripping, shoplifting, overspending, suicide and light virtual sex work to raise money for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign."

"'I’d rate fifty penises in an hour, and I’ll admit now that I rated few of them honestly,' she writes of trading nude-photo appraisals for political donations. 'Look, corners were cut.'..."

From a NYT book review, "Sex, Sloth and Shoplifting: Notes From a ‘Sloppy’ Girl/In her second essay collection, 'Sloppy,' the writer and social media personality Rax King embraces the mess of living imperfectly."

"[S]he takes such obvious pleasure in and sustenance from being an author with a capital A, even as she mocks how the profession might be perceived at her physical therapist’s office ('a soft-handed little typer')...."

That's not writing, that's....

Ruminating with a capital "C".

That's not typing, that's stereotyping.

Dems are mentally ill.

And who would buy that book much less review it in a major publication?

What is wrong with these people?

You'll come to critique the asses in bikinis.
You'll stay to rate the penises.

with hazmat suits and those mechanical arms, perhaps not even that,

Presstitution is an ignoble confession.

"I’d rate fifty penises in an hour"
That's counter to everything I've been told about what women like, but women have changed during my life, and just when I was getting naturally better according to the old values.

This and the Wapo bikini ass article shows the "serious" MSM is reaching the level of its readership. Next stop - Gay sex pictures. Article: Is his dick big enough?

Don't want those sloppy seconds.

"... she writes of trading nude-photo appraisals for political donations."
This sounds like something AI could handle.

vermonter said...

How totally stupid, ignorant and all the other such words, do you have to be to do that to raise money for Bernie's candidacy!

Does she have a sliding price scale in her "ratings". If she rates a guy's membrum virile "jumbo" he's supposed to contribute $100 to Bernie--but if she says "teeny wienie" the guy is only supposed to contribute $10. And how would she rate Anthony Weiner's "Little Tony"?" Asking for an underage female in Indiana who would like to know what she saw when he sexted her.

“I’d rate fifty penises in an hour"

Shades of Flo & Eddie in Zappa’s “200 Motels”…

"Corners were cut" is pretty funny in the context, but who knows if that was her intent?

I'd send dickpix, but mine take up too much file space.

Deep State Reformer said...

I gotta give her some credit bc she is putting her ass, her fingers, money, and all the rest of her where her mouth is and which I very much like more than having billionaires, PACs, and other interest groups flooding the zone with their checkbooks, even if I don't agree with Bernie Sanders's position on things.

William said...

Given a choice, I'd rather read her book than Kamala's. Maybe Kamala should think of hiring her as a ghostwriter. Put some dressing on that word salad.

Whores For Bernie

Iman said...

The entire subject is holey inappropriate!

Josephbleau said...

I doubt she would rate 50 penises per hour, perhaps one or two per hour on South Michigan Ave.

Rabel said...

You could do that here.

Then have a pole poll.

That's not writing, that's prostitution.
