I am shocked (shocked !) to hear that Paul Wolfowitz (shown at left, sans wedding band), the head of the World Bank, is having sex!?! After all, the President's (recently discredited) program for sex education says that birth control is not appropriate and abstinence is the only option outside of marriage. Maybe there is a special dispensation for sex with postmenopausal women, which would likely get Wolfowitz off the hook.... and... in which case Condi Rice must be getting ready to bust her move pretty soon. I'll have to read the official White House guidelines on that. Several years ago, comedian and future Senator Al Franken asked administration officials to give their “abstinence testimonials”, explaining how they remained celibate before marriage, as a public service to promote a healthy lifestyle for teens and young adults. I'm not sure if he had any takers, but certainly this most recent news from Wolfowitz will set back the practice of abstinence decades. I had visions of entire towns and states with virginal young people dutifully heeding Dear Leader's mandate and saving themselves for marriage: just imagine, no sexually transmitted diseases, no unwanted pregnancies. None.
Ahh the rapture of it all. But now this! The horrors! What will the kids think? And who will explain it to them?
Since abstinence is the only option in the sex ed curriculum espoused by the President, I find it hard to believe that Mr. Wolfowitz would actually shake his groove thing with another human being. If we expect that overtly hyperhormonal teens can be abstinent, then why can't we expect the same from a responsible government official? And head of the World Bank, no less. What will the rest of the world think?
