With a name like Krystal Ball, you probably should rethink running for congress in Virginia unless you have especially thick skin, especially when your opponent is Republican stalwart Rob Wittman. That being said, everyone deserves a fair shake in government, even if they have a totally porny name. What the 29-year-old should have taken into account though, is that nothing on the Internet is sacred, not even those photos of you putting a dildo on your ex-husband’s nose during a Christmas party. Ruh-roh.
Krystal admits that these just released photos are of her, but has taken the tack that the images were disseminated by the conservative party in an effort to ruin her chances at winning the seat in congress. “I’m pretty angry about it,” Ball said. “It’s outrageous. It’s incredibly sexist.”
Which is all true, but unfortunately Ball is just one of what we imagine to be a growing trend: Young political upstarts who find that their old Facebook/Flickr/MySpace accounts can never be completely erased from the Internet. And although we talk of changing our privacy settings and rail against Mark Zuckerberg and Google for making it easier for our personal information to become public, if you don’t have a good justification for why you put these photos online in the first place (or sending them to potentially bitter exes), you should probably stick to keeping those kind of kinky party pics on your personal computer. Or better yet: a non-digital camera.
Plus, using the sexist card is a desperate attempt here…if a male candidate was caught wearing a dildo on his nose, you’d be sure that would be making the rounds of Morning Joe as we speak.
Typical SKANK, “oh that’s so incredibly sexist.” Your Krystal Ball isn’t that difficult to read – loser.
WHO CARES?!?!? If she didn’t make such a big deal of it NO ONE would care!!!
Hmmm…glad they didn’t post the pictures “later” in the party. Seems like no “gotcha” moment here. Did the person posting the “whore” comment realize they are backing the Demo(rat) – the party of public sex and gay pride/display parades?
We’re here…we’re here…we’re here and we’re —-wearing phallic noses to symobolize the evil tradition of secular christmas as required by our dark overlords. This is what you get when you take the Nativity out of the town square – penis noses….sad, really
These mean nothing, except that the woman has a sense of humor: a good indication of psychological health desirable in a candidate. There should be many Repubs as well as Demo candidates with off color photos in their past. So what.
zzzzzzzzz
These people will cry sexism or racism for anything. Your ex-husband had a dildo on his nose and you posed provocatively. Take responsibility for YOUR OWN actions and stop blaming people. You and Meg Whitman could take some lessons.
At least she hasn’t started to sag like Pelosi!!!!!!!!!
