Senatorial Sex Ed
• Zealots, Crusaders, Pests
Conservative Republican Senator Tom Coburn called his lecture Revenge of the STDs. His captive audience was young congressional staffers.
... Then Coburn got serious. He flipped to his next slide. It showed a part of the male anatomy but not as a science textbook drawing; this was the real thing, and a particularly sorry example; it looked like it had been left outside by mistake and then rusted in some unnatural way, with scaly dry spots, and warts on an angry red background.
Old fashioned high school scare tactics. Haven't worked before, won't now. I can only imagine what will run through his audience members' minds the next time they pass him in the halls of the Capitol.
