As I slowly and seductively removed my sexy outfit - Ben Quayle
Admits he's Brock Landers on Scottsdales TheDirty

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/08/ben-quayle-denies-writing-for.html

7/27/07 – Brock’s Corner: Lake Pleasant
(Snippet) Anyway, after concluding that sipping mint juleps dockside had been replaced with taking body shots off of scantily clad ladies, it was time to lose my yachting attire–and that’s when things started to get interesting.

As I slowly and seductively removed my sexy outfit, a palpable tension was felt across the lake. When I took off my shirt, and the ladies caught a glimpse of my chiseled physique, I was summarily mobbed like I was a member of Menudo during the Puerto Rican day parade in NYC. Not that this is anything new.

I can hear the cheers from Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert's writers now!

I guess he'll take his talent for fiction writing and tranfer it to writing bad laws.

2. That's poor writing
If you are going to try and write provocative, at least do it right.

3. He loves his Michelangelo's ass
Seriously, does everyone in this town have an F'n tattoo? Does the Scottsdale city council have a task force that delves out crappy tattoos to all of its citizens? If that's the case, it's a good thing I can run sub 5-minute miles for 2 hours straight before I collapse from exhaustion. Otherwise, they may have caught me and I would have some seriously bad ink, and that would be horrible because I have flawless skin. Plus, the ladies don't want me to draw attention from this ass and this bone structure. That would be similar to placing a couple paint by numbers pieces just below the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Did I just compare my ass and bone structure to Michelangelo's masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel? Yes, yes I did...I only write the truth.

6. He admits it? Last I heard earlier this afternoon MSNBC was reporting that
he was denying being Brock Landers. If he did deny it, and now he doesn't, that makes him a gawl-damned liar.

9. According to WPost who quotes Politico he admits it
After initially denying the allegations, Arizona House candidate Ben Quayle (R), son of former vice president Dan Quayle, admitted on Tuesday that he used to post comments on a Web site called "Dirty Scottsdale" several years ago, Politico reports.

-----

Quayle acknowledged Tuesday that he did contribute to the site in an interview with Phoenix's 12 News.

"I just posted comments to try to drive some traffic," (Quayle) said.

"What kind of comments?" the reporter asked.

"This is four years ago," Quayle replied. "This is hilarious this is being brought up. ... This is a smear. This is a smear on me from a smear website being pushed by a smear campaign."

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/08/ben-quayle-denies-writing-for.html

But of course in typical Repuke fashion he says it's all a smear!

16. In case you've forgotten, nobody care about "Scotty playgirl Brown"
And I have to admit the hypocrisy here is amusing. If that were a Dem we be celebrating his acceptance of his sexuality.

Ok, fine, so the guy can't write but are we or are we not comfortable with ourselves as sexual beings?

18. I don't think Scott Brown lied about being in Playgirl
Quayle started off denying he was this blogger. For the most part we're comfortable with sexuality - it's the Repubs who use gay marriage as a wedge issue, and still cry that Clinton told our precious children that oral sex wasn't really sex, and prosecute a president while having a mistress.

Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 06:21 PM by snagglepuss
with human sexuality in the least. Just hatred for women. It's deformed sexuality. May I suggest you read Christopher Hedge's close-up look at the porn industry in his book Empire of Illusions. Very graphic depection of the utter misogyny that passes these days for sexuality.

And I'm pretty sure Mr. Quayle didn't write the comments.

Before you lecture me on pornography, I suggest you research my user name on DU. You will not find me to be a fan.

37. Not a lecture on porn but a suggestion to read Hedges book which
discusses the male attitudes towards sexuality, the kind of attitudes that are in full view at dirty.com. What I take issue with is your statement that posting on dirty.com is a celebration of sexuality. What dirty.com 'celebrates' is that the debasement of women.

47. As does most porn
Edited on Fri Aug-13-10 09:51 AM by lukasahero
which is usually quite highly lauded here on DU.

FTR, I think you are missing my point which, fairly, is not terribly obvious unless you know me. That being - DU has a tendency to celebrate sex work while calling women who participate in porn and prostitution sluts and whores. Again, if this guy were a Dem, there would be a multitude of posts extolling his right to 'celebrate his sexuality' (I suppose a sarcasm tag would have helped) regardless of the vulgarity of the comments. Women are not highly valued on this site and the only reason anyone here cares about this particular bit of porn is because it came from a Republican.

22. Vanity Fair
One of the purveyors of TheDirty.com (né DirtyScottsdale.com), a Web site that aggregates pictures of attractive women and invites viewers to nitpick their appearance, revealed the identity of one of the message board’s most prolix patrons. The Dirty founder Scott Karamian claimed in a blog post yesterday that the pseudonym Brock Landers belonged to one Ben Quayle, son of former vice president Dan Quayle, and current Republican Congressional candidate from Arizona. The Washington Post reports: “Quayle had a featured section on the site, Karamian said, called ‘Brock’s Chick,’ in which he sought to ‘find the hottest chick in Scottsdale.’ He added that ‘Without Ben, there would be no TheDirty.com.’”

At first, Quayle denied his connection to The Dirty and the filthy things therein, but Karamian responded to Quayle’s dismissal of the charges with a message to the candidate: “I am not attacking you, I am just being honest. Stop listening to your bull sh*t advisors because they are making you look stupid. If you don’t remember me or Brock Landers that is cool. I guess I don’t remember the time you banged (redacted) (a chick) in my spare bedroom. I just let randoms spend the night and have sex with strangers… should I continue?” he asked, we believe rhetorically. Finally, Quayle admitted that he “just posted comments to try to drive some traffic” but insisted he was not Brock Landers. We covered our keyboard in Saran-wrap and Purell and made our way through the archives of the site, picking out postings from “Brock Landers.” Our five favorites (favorites?) after the jump.

23. Keep digging that hole Ben
Ben Quayle now admits that in 2007 he used a pseudonym to contribute to the voyeuristic website, DirtyScottsdale.com, which later became TheDirty.com, after first denying any affiliation with the site.

Gordon James, who is working for the Quayle campaign, said Quayle contributed to the site under a pseudonym. James would not say which pseudonym Quayle used, but did not rule out that Quayle had contributed to the site under the name “Brock Landers,” a fictional character in the movie Boogie Nights.

James said Quayle would not answer questions regarding further affiliation with the site. James said Quayle doesn’t remember which pseudonym he used.

Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 06:05 PM by Phoebe Loosinhouse
That is some of the funniest unsexy writing I have ever seen. It reminds me of "Naked Came a Stranger"

"A palpable tension was felt across the lake."

You know what would be a great idea? A collected works of the wretched sexual pennings of Repressed Republicans:

Scooter Libby in the beastiality section, Lyn Cheney in the Love That Dares Not Speak Its Name section, and Ben Quayle in the
Gillgan Goes Crazy section.

Didn't Newt write something off the squirm meter charts?

And don't forget Bill O' Reilly "Say baby, put down that pipe and get my pipe up," "Cup your hands under your breasts and hold them for ten seconds," and "Cunnilingus involves the lips and tongue."

http://boingboing.net/2009/03/17/audioclips-of-bill-o.html

And Glenn Beck repressed sex "Don't tease the panther"

And Newt's true-life adventures.

Kip Carter, who lived a few doors down from the couple, saw more than he wanted to. "We had been out working a football game --I think it was the Bowdon game-- and we would split up. It was a Friday night. I had Newt's daughters, Jackie Sue and Kathy, with me. We were all supposed to meet back at this professor's house. It was a milk-and-cookies kind of shakedown thing, buck up the troops. I was cutting across the yard to go up the driveway. There was a car there. As I got to the car, I saw Newt in the passenger seat and one of the guys' wives with her head in his lap going up and down. Newt kind of turned and gave me his little-boy smile. Fortunately, Jackie Sue and Kathy were a lot younger and shorter then.

36. More... if you can stomach it...
As a preface, I want to tell you a little about myself. First off, I’m a tall drink of water who is easy on the eyes. Plus, my moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot. Long story short, on a scale of 1-to-10, I’m awesome.

At night and on the weekends, I frequent the same places that you do. I’m at the bars, the clubs, the pool parties and the free health clinic (actually I’ve never been there, but dare to dream). Basically, I’m F’n everywhere.

~snip

Seriously, does everyone in this town have an F’n tattoo? Does the Scottsdale city council have a task force that delves out crappy tattoos to all of its citizens? If that’s the case, it’s a good thing I can run sub 5-minute miles for 2 hours straight before I collapse from exhaustion. Otherwise, they may have caught me and I would have some seriously bad ink, and that would be horrible because I have flawless skin. Plus, the ladies don’t want me to draw attention from this ass and this bone structure. That would be similar to placing a couple paint by numbers pieces just below the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Did I just compare my ass and bone structure to Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel? Yes, yes I did…I only write the truth.

38. bwahaha... and his Dad blamed the tv show Murphy Brown for declining family values...
er - Murphy Brown was on the air for a limited number of years per this guys growing up. Hard to think that Murphy Brown had more influence over his decadence and narcissism than his home life. Epic Fail per Dan Quayle's once swipe and demonetization of a tv show as an example of why societal values and social fabric was falling apart. Seems like he and Marilyn did just fine on that front on their own.
