The great thing about Twitter \u00a0and politicians is the extreme danger of masks slipping, leading to moments of hilariously unexpected candor (see: Anthony Weiner\/crotch shot, Dane Deutsch\/Hitler, Scott Walker\/Obama\/Soul Train,\u00a0or Sarah Palin’s random mutterings\/word salad any day of any week). Here’s yet another example of how Twitter is facilitating the self-destruction of politicians by encouraging the posting of every idle thought:<\/p>\n
“Phil Mitsch”: smarmy, smug-mugged Republican Senate candidate from Camden, New Jersey. The 62 year old\u00a0former real estate broker\/snake oil salesman and Wayne Newton\/Roger Miller\/Tom Ridge\/Pete Rose hybrid, has been getting\u00a0slammed<\/a> for a (non ironic) tweet he sent out to his 44,000 followers:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes, that is exactly what his county needs, a leafy county settled by Quakers, home to Union soldiers and Walt Whitman, and sustained by post WWI immigrant labor, needs Phil Mitsch’s tax breaks, something called “mandatory mortgage loan modifications on at risk residential properties,” and hackneyed, antediluvian sex tips. When questioned about the tweet, the self-styled\u00a0New Jersey real estate legend<\/a> told the\u00a0Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em> that it was:<\/p>\n \u201cA great tip! It shows the utmost respect for women.\u2026 What I was trying to say to men was, \u2018Men, look, if you got to go out and play around and you can\u2019t be honest with a woman and respect her, then you\u2019re better off just doing pay, play, and get the \u2018F\u2019 away.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He initially refused to apologize for the “great tip”, saying:<\/p>\n \u201cI am definitely not apologizing for those two tweets at all. They were relationship tips.<\/em> \u2018Stud in the bedroom\u2019 and \u2018whore in the bedroom,\u2019 those are timeworn adages.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Camden County GOP <\/a>Chairman Thomas Booth unbelievably initially stuck by Mitsch even after the “whore” tweet, defending him as “a fantastic candidate” who had “made a “mistake”. He then changed his tune, demanding an apology. Even though dispensing retro sex advice to 44,000 strangers while running for public office seems like a winning campaign strategy, Mitsch backtracked:<\/p>\n \u201cI would like to sincerely apologize for any offense I may have caused anyone, particularly women, as a result of a Twitter post that has recently been reported.\u201d<\/span> *<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Then, not being satisfied with his own apology, he decided to explain the tweet in further detail: <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe specific tweet in question is an age-old saw most notably quoted by Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger\u2019s ex-wife, in the early 1990\u2019s: My mother said in order to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, a whore in the bedroom. <\/strong>I updated her quote with the fact that men should \u2018be faithful, a gentleman in the living room and a stud in the bedroom, but looking back, I didn\u2019t update the original terminology enough to reflect 21st century sensibilities.\u201d **<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Huh? Jerry Hall? “Age-old saw”? When was he born – 1870? Although now exposed as insane, he\u2019s still in the race. <\/span><\/span>Booth threatened to pull his support (why would there\u00a0be<\/em> SUPPORT in the first place? Twitter notwithstanding?) for Mitsch’s candidacy in the election, demanding an apology that demonstrates that Mitsch understands why the tweet<\/em> was offensive and\u00a0why <\/em>it was wrong to put it on Twitter:***<\/strong><\/p>\n “His excuse – that he was merely ‘paraphrasing’ what others have said – demonstrates a fundamental failure to appreciate why his statement was so wrong. There are many ‘old adages’ out there, and the mere fact that such adages may have been around for a while or may have been used by some semi-famous celebrity does not make them correct or acceptable.”<\/p>\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHow the voter interprets my response to [the tweets], I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care if I get elected or not. <\/strong>People came after ME to run. It would be a tragedy to be denied \u2026 over stupid tweets that are misinterpreted.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Tell your women they can\u2019t talk to you but they can moan.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “Increase your odds of keeping your women by being faithful, a gentleman in the living room and a stud in the bedroom.”<\/strong><\/span> Followed by:<\/p>\n “I always have and always will put women on a pedestal because I have deep respect for them”.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n His is a constant stream of \u00a0“<\/strong>motivational tips<\/a>” and observations on the pressing love issues of the\u00a0day, like a perverted greeting card auteur, are:<\/p>\n “To hell with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\u00a0Just give me passion”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong>“A little sex everyday keeps the doctor away.\u00a0Screw the apple”.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “When a woman lets a man make love to her she is really letting him\u00a0make love to her heart and soul” ****<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Phil, this neanderthal behavior may be acceptable in Iran, <\/em>where a government representative can go on Twitter<\/em> pontificating on how less than 50% of his constituency is not really their equal. But this is America! <\/em>You’re not supposed to put your creepy misogyny on a public forum! Keep it in the boardroom where it belongs! You don’t need Twitter<\/em> to tell us ladies that you’re a class act, it’s obvious by the way you hold your glasses between your fingertips so you won’t lose them,\u00a0the shoe-polish jet hair and eyebrows to match, the embroidered monogram on the French cuff, the pre-folded handkerchief in your chest pocket, Suav-vay!\u00a0Maybe you never meant to suggest that women should be “whores” in the bedroom – although you do look like you knows\u00a0a lot more about the whores than you does the ladies – but actually intended to say “sluts”.\u00a0Whores charge a fee, whereas sluts do it for free.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/teensleuth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/000.jpg\" "\\"000\\"")

Mitsch explained the “whore” tweet by saying it was a prepackaged<\/em> tweet (you know, sort of like a “joke of the day”) that he uses to reach out to perspective clients and friends. He just forgot that the really offensive ones might be a bad idea, you know, now that he\u2019s running for office. The\u00a0mafiosi Dracula manages to tweet incessantly (he\u2019s sent out a whopping 68,820 tweets – at\u00a010 a day, 365 days a year, it still takes almost 19 years <\/em>to get to 68,820 tweets), offering nuggets of advice on everything from finances and politics to relationships and sex.\u00a0To tweet that much<\/em>, to assault the planet that copiously with a Twitter account,\u00a0one has to be totally convinced there are legions of people hanging on your every word. That’s the\u00a0best part about it – \u00a0not the alarming stupidity – \u00a0but Dr Phil\u2019s awesome conceit. He really believes <\/em>he\u2019s helping his Twitter followers, and all those women could really use some sex advice. He’s like a sexed-up, unfunny, misogynistic Erma Bombeck.\u00a0Mitsch does caution that some of his tweets are infused with his somewhat ‘dry’ sense of humor. Like these pearls of advice to the men:<\/p>\n
