Don't lie about your porn habits, especially while running for office

Porn is porn, except when it’s research.

That’s the backbone of a curious defense made by Mike Webb, a Republican congressional candidate for Virginia’s 8th District, who on Monday posted a screenshot of his desktop. The image pertained to a now irrelevant call with a staffing agency. More importantly, the politician had left two tabs open: “LAYLA RIVERA TIGHT BO…” and “IVONE SEXY AMATEUR.”

Now, Webb hadn’t be enjoying those pages like, say, his would-be constituents might. No, Webb was working. He was researching. He was experimenting with innovative methods to protect those he seeks to serve.
