Tell Me Another One

Read this one slowly:
"We're going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I'm still a 55-year-old virgin."
TV host(ess) and financial guru Suze Orman says she "has a relationship with life," and then reveals that her "life partner" is Kathy Travis.

Wow, what a nosedive trip. At first glance, one envisions her "relationship with life" as something akin to Bambi running through the forest, enthralled by the sight and smells of mother nature, crystal clear babbling brooks sparkling down through the valleys, illuminated by star-filled night skies. Purity and cleanliness everywhere.

Then comes the truth, and the mental projection becomes one of hot, sweaty bodies entertwined amongst a collection of plastic toys, vibrating devices and tubes of oozing KY jelly. But that's OK, no men anywhere, so we're all still virgins.

Seven years in a lesbian relationship equals virgin? That's on a par with Bill clinton's "I never had sex with that woman Monica Lewinsky."

Consider any woman who has great elevation in the TV heirarchy. She does not get there by being a 100% virgin, much less a lesbian one. Dirty old men are still in charge, and dirty old men in charge have a habit of demanding sex in one form or another for a potential starlet to prosper. So if a woman has never "been" with a man in her entire life, one might wonder how many times it took her--perhaps using the non-sex sex tactics made famous by Monica Lewinsky--to arrive at the top.
