‘Rolling Stone’ Blog Hits Near-<i>Kimmel</i> Levels Of Hilarity

Oh, Rolling Stone blog. Because we hate dead horses, we really want to leave you alone for a few days. But less than a week after your Fergie fiasco, you guys publish this offensively unfunny music-blog post, for which no one claims a byline:

Songs Nasty Enough for Disgraced Congressman Mark Foley

There is little that’s not amusing about the Mark Foley scandal. All day yesterday, we — along with everyone else in the country — devoured the gory details of the U.S. Representative’s lewd chats with a sixteen-year-old Congressional page. Nasty but fascinating. Anyhow, because we’re just like this, we though it would be equally nasty and fascinating to pull together a little playlist filled to the brim with songs that seem fitting for this fine moment in our nation’s history. Here’s what we came up with. What would you add?

* AC/DC, “Hard as a Rock” * Bob Seger, “Turn the Page” * Jerry Lee Lewis, “Sweet Little Sixteen” * George Michael, “I Want Your Sex” * Robbie Williams, “Rocks Off”

What’s more offensive? The asinine claim that a powerful politician trying to solicit sex from minors is “amusing,” or the fact they tried to back up that claim with a 700-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis joke?
