Blunt aide in the buff!!!

Matt Blunt's press secretary has nude pics floating around on the Internets . . . And the only thing I find appalling is how she's being treated with kid gloves by both parties and she received the help of The State Highway Patrol in order to put the kibosh on the whole thing. Take a quick peek (!!!). . . At her sob story . . . Yeah, I guess I couldn't post the photos not only because I haven't seen them (she doesn't seem like much to look at) but also because I'm sure it would earn me a one way ticket to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or at least get me deported.

In late 2004, Jessica Robinson — now Gov. Matt Blunt's press secretary — learned that private photos of her nude body were traveling on the very public Internet.

She took steps, with the help of the State Highway Patrol, to remove the images. But like weeds, the pictures recently came back — circulating again on the Web and now around the state Capitol.

She says the pictures had been taken by her husband, Jay Robinson, in late 2003 and early 2004 to document the various stages of her pregnancy that resulted in the May 2004 birth of their son. The photos were put on the hard drive of the couple's computer . . .

By October 2004, the early-pregnancy pictures —which show a smiling, still-slim Jessica Robinson standing in front of a wall — somehow ended up on several pornographic websites. Authorities say the couple's computer had been hacked.

I'm not sure if I buy that story but it doesn't really matter. The main point here is the fact that nude photos are available of nearly every woman working as a professional in the media . . . Or at least that's been my experience. Also, I'm pretty sure that there are women across the State who have photos they may not want of themselves on the Internets and The State Highway Patrol doesn't get involved . . . That's time that they should be spending hassling every Latino who dares to drive a car and checking their citizenship!!!

Finally, I'm always impressed with these kind of stories and how they are usually intended to make everyone afraid of the Internet . . . I guess I also miss the days when people had more privacy . . . Just like I'm sure po'folk from across the Show-Me State miss their Medicare. But what are you gonna do? The only thing I can think of is to smile and try to suppress your cough while Baby Blunt blushes.

P.S. - I also have nude photos of myself on my computer but they are intended to be a warning to all those who would dare to mess with my computer. The photos picture me, naked, holding a sword while my a former lover throws pickles at me and I point at the camera. I was hacked once and somebody got hold of the photos. They subsequently left me an e-mail apology and deposited 20 dollars in my paypal account.
