I mean, to some extent it's just that politicians need to have this aura of respectfulness and it's glaring when it fails.
If this was just "some idiots in college sometimes fuck the heads of dead animals" this is a non-story. But add the British PM and suddenly it's the best thing that happened in the year of our Lord two thousand and fifteen.
Not even joking. If someone asks me, what event of 2015 inspired the most joy, the answer is without a doubt the allegation that David Cameron fucked a pig. I don't even care about British politics. I half suspect this didn't happen. And yet, I cannot stop myself from celebrating every time I see a #snoutrage joke in my dash or twitter timeline or the wider internet.
Anyway. The point is, it's not that politics attracts weirdness, but that it makes weird things all the more weird and entertaining.
sure, everybody's entitled to their secret gardens or skeletons in their closet, but check out any politician scandal and things get fucked up real fast. bush jr. in skull and bones? no big deal, everybody knows about secret societies. but then you hit anti-gay politicians doing blowjobs in men's bathrooms, that's pretty kinky. it's less about the weirdness of it, more the hypocrisy of it.
honestly, i don't care. i thought it was an onion post it was so far-fetched. i'm not grossed out, barely grinning at the mental image. hell, i make so many jokes about necrophilia, zoophilia, or combinations of both, i get a kick out of making people think i am either.
if it's a true story, then kudos to cameron for pulling off necro-zoophilia (the act, not a metal band). if it's bull, we've still got loads of smoking guns about "respectable"
scumbags politicians.
and if anyone feels inclined to name names, try to avoid bdsm, because that is such a passé kink. (fun fact, fat mike of nofx has been in a loving committed bdsm relationship with his wife for over 20 years).
