Speaking of Sexually Repressed Republicans
Robert Bork, Riveted
"One evening at a hotel in New York I flipped around the television channels. Suddenly there on the public access channel was a voluptuous young woman, naked, her body oiled, writhing on the floor while fondling herself intimately. Meanwhile, a man’s voice and a print on the screen informed the viewer of the telephone number and limousine service that would acquaint him with young women of similar charms and proclivities. I watched for some time – riveted by the sociological significance of it all."
Robert Bork, Slouching Toward Gomorrah.
