Who's the Dom/me? Opinions please

[shereads]

Watching Meet the Press with James Carville and wife Marlee Maitlin, it seems clear that this couple's preferred form of foreplay is a vicious, political war of words, preferably broadcast live to millions of TV viewers.

God only knows what happens during the commercial breaks. But when they get home after the interview, there have to be whips involved, and maybe a dungeon outfitted to look like a secret White House sub-basement.

------------------

My question: Who wields the whip in this family?

Bullet-headed, beady-eyed, brilliant James Carville, recently named one of People Magazine's "50 sexiest men in America" despite his strange looking noggin?

Or his tight-lipped wife Maitlin, newly quiet apologist for the Republican Right?

-----------------

And in the Bush clan: does anybody doubt that Barbara holds the reins and the flogger? Most people seem to think she's the "nice" one. Ha. I picture her as the Mother In Law from Hell, forcing Laura Bush to lick the floors clean after Thanksgiving dinner.



-----------------

Liza Minelli and husband whats-his-name: Why are people surprised that he's accused her of beating him?

What else might she have done to him?

What was his safe word, and did Liza fail to respect it?

Was it a formal D/s relationshiip? Or were they playing with something that neither of them fully understood?

(We held out such hopes for that marriage...It seems like only yesterday that MJ was looking radiant as Ms. Minelli's maid of honor. How has it come to this?)

-----------------

One more question: what is 'pegging'?

Someone in SRP told me it's nothing but a term for fixing currency values, but others have disagreed. This seems like the place to get a straight answer.

Thank you.

Dear sr,
Yes, this is the place. The answer will appear in DG's Dubious Dictionary. You will need to wait a few weeks for the definitive answer, though. The alphabet cannot be rushed.

I'm not sure I can wait, MG.

What if it happens and I don't know what it is?

Liza Minelli is one of those people who's absolutely no fun since she dried out and stopped doing drugs. Sobriety has ruined a number of wonderful careers.

Pegging, btw, is using a strap on.

"Pegging" is a term coined by Dan Savage (the same guy who came up with "santorum"). He's the editor of The Stranger, our local weekly alternative rag here in Seattle and author of the syndicated advice colums "Savage Love."

From 6/21/01:
The votes are in, they've been counted, recounted, and... actually, I'm going to resist making the stock Florida/hanging-chad/Republican-coup jokes. After all, this is serious business: What term, from this day forward, will be the commonly accepted slang for a woman fucking a man in the ass with a strap-on dildo? Three candidates stood in this election: bob, for Bend Over Boyfriend, a popular series of "how to fuck your man in the ass" videos; punt, for kicking the ball to the other team; and peg, for a device once used to, uh, keep the butts of some very unlucky boys gaping open. Thousands of people took the time to cast ballots (12,103 to be exact) and many included impassioned pleas for their favored candidate along with their votes.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... THE WINNER! In what can only be regarded as a stunning upset, my favored candidate, bob, came in dead LAST. Out of 12,103 votes cast, bob received only 2,721 votes (22.5%). In second place, with 4,166 votes (34.5%), was punt. And in first place, with 5,216 votes (43%), was peg! Peg is the winner!

Pegged just seems to beg the addition "my ass." As in, "My girlfriend pegged my ass last night." The fact that it's a woman's name makes it all the more appropriate.

Maths,

That is a great line. I may embroider it on a pillowcase to celebrate finishing my novel.

Shereads: you not only have the most beautiful back outside the world of ballet, but wit to boot. Brava! P.

 

[shereads]

Seattle and Dr.M, this is likely to reduce my enjoyment of a favorite old Steely Dan song. Or enhance it; I'm not sure.

I've seen "bob" almost as often as "peg." So despite a clear message from Seattle voters, the issue must still open. So to speak.

McKenna, I never doubted for a moment that Kathy Lee was in charge of Reej. Frank too, until she became careless with his locking cuffs.

Perdita, I'm flattered that you mistake me for a ballet dancer. I did study, of course, in preparation for my stage career. This candid snapshot was taken after an exhausting early rehearsal for the new off-Broadway musical, "Viva Las Vegas: The Rock Opera." I play Ann-Margret.

Another "Who's the Dom/me" couple, recently called into question when it had seemed obvious before:

The Prince of Wales/Camilla Parker-Bowles

Re. Liza Minelli. I thought she had great promise once but her tragedy is that she inherited her mother's talent without the soul. If you see or hear Judy Garland there is no comparison. Her daughter did her best to imitate her, but you can't fake heart. Also unfortunate, the girl inherited her father's nose and none of his artistry or intellect.

S.T. Coleridge. The three words that ended that career?

Betty. Ford. Clinic.

 

[shereads]

Yes. I always thought Liza Minelli looked like a cross-dresser "doing" Judy Garland. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It beats being Lorna Luft.

 

[raphy]

Far as I was aware, 'BoB' is more commonly used to represent a Battery-operated Boyfriend, rather than the act of 'pegging'

 

[shereads]

So one could ostensibly be pegged with bob? I see. Thank you for clarifying.

This could come as a pleasant surprise to some in Seattle.

Pegging? I haven't the foggiest idea, although the only place I've heard it used is playing cribbage (a la McKenna). Having seen pics in various places of 'used' anii I can't imagine that there is any real need to keep it open.

Subs sorry subs and DOMS? I neither know nor care. Nor have I ever heard of many of the people mentioned.

Arts and drugs? bollocks.

The only thing I do know or have an opinion about is that Dan Savage is a twat of immense proportion.

But then I'm working class English so what do I know?

Mickey and Minnie: Mice who like it spicey?

I think not, McKenna. If you'll notice, none of these animals except Goofy even bother to wear pants. (Gloves, always! But no pants.) I think Mickey is sort of an undeveloped man-child, like Michael Jackson but without the disadvantage of a penis with identifying marks that might be used to incriminate Mickey if he cuddled too hard.

Mickey and Minnie, if they share a sexual relationship, do so as submissives in the service of Madonna, or Guy Ritchie, or Barbara Bush.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Are you sure Michael Jackson even HAS a penis? I heard a rumour about 15 yars ago that he had had a snip-surgery...

 

[Guest]

I don't watch TV, I don't read newspapers except to look up movie times. I really really don't want to have to think about M. Jackson, let alone his penis or former penis.

sheesh!

[Seattle Zack]

How about Demi Moore and whats-his-name (probably calls her "Mommy" during sex -- "Dude, Where's My Balls?")

Barbara Streisand and whats-his-name

Oprah and whats-his-name

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Well, regarding Oprah and Steadman (that's his name, poor guy!), I woldn't be so sure.

I mean, Oprah may come across as bossy, but let's not forget that show when she was licking Bush's ass - she's got some clearsubtendencies.

 

[shereads]

And what about Chip and Dale?
