Bush's State Department recommends sadomasochist weapons inspector.

No, you read that right. From MSNBC.com:

The United Nations launched perhaps its most important weapons inspections ever yesterday with a team that includes a 53-year-old Virginia man with no specialized scientific degree and a leadership role in sadomasochistic sex clubs.

McGeorge said yesterday that a State Department official invited him to apply for the U.N. team, and officials at State and the U.N. did not ask about his S&M background.

And they were all pissed off about a blowjob? I guess a little bondage, torture, and other hardcore fun is different? McGeorge is a former president of Black Rose, a pansexual S&M group, and has no degree in any specialized area that could be useful in weapons inspection. How did he get this job? It seems nobody is checking the background of these inspectors.

"Bad Saddam, bad Saddam! I told you no weapons! Now bend over while I spank your butt! How does that feel? Have you been a bad boy? I'm going to spank your butt again! There! What a bad boy!"

Edited on 12/1/2002 to add: Hans Blix, Chief United Nations weapons inspector rejected McGeorge's resignation offer. While McGeorge has only an associate's degree in security management from a community college, he also has extensive BDSM management experience, so Blix felt "McGeorge is a highly qualified and competent technical expert." In the BDSM field McGeorge specializes in various techniques involving knives, ropes and choking apparatuses. Story from Gulf News.

Edited on 12/1/2002 to add: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution choose to not cover this story, or at least I have been unable to find any mention of it. It was not widely covered, as the media is still reluctant to mention anything critical of the Bush administration. The Australian press is giving the story a good bit of play. Check out this search on google to see what coverage is out there.

Jeff Berry of Creative Loafing really likes some of Governor Elect Perdue's ideas.

And now these clueless crackers are running amok, planning to embarrass us all by restoring the confederate emblem to the state flag and transforming zombie-like Democratic state Senators into right-wing Republicans by the busload. And it's all being orchestrated by Ralph Reed. God help us.

We have gone from Maddox Country signs in the 60's to Sonny Country signs 40 years later. Georgia is one progressive state!
