One of the more bizarre evenings of the 2005 Tory leadership contest was when the two Davids presented an award at the ITV TV awards at the Albert Hall... and were booed. On the way out I heard the two of them discussing Desperate Housewives and which character they both liked the best. At that point I hadn't ever seen an episode, so when they both agreed it was Bree Van de Kamp I didn't bat an eyelid. I was then given the first series on DVD and have been hooked ever since.So when I watched the first episode of the the third series tonight I laughed out loud at this fantastic line from Bree... and then thought of the two Davids...
Picture the scene, Bree is about to have sex for the first time with her newly acquired fiance, Orson (who also happens to be a murderer, but I digress). They rush upstairs into Bree's bedroom and both fall on the bed. Bree takes her blouse off and Orson moves slowly down her body towards... well, you can guess. Bree looks mystified and then horrified as Orson's 'cunning' plan makes itself apparent. She blurts out: 'Orson, I don't do that!' Orson says: 'why not?' Bree, still shocked, replies: 'I'm a Republican!'.
Well, it made me laugh out loud, anyway. I suspect Messers Davis and Cameron did likewise.

Yep, made me laugh out loud too. But what did old sound-of-music-muffin man say in response? Wasn't it something like 'I'm a libertarian - I believe in more power to the individual and less to the State'?
Some libertarians favor common law, which they see as less arbitrary and more adaptable than statutory law. The relative benefits of common law evolving toward ever-finer definitions of property rights were articulated by thinkers such as Randy Barnett.
Honest! You can't make it up.
*gasp*
"I'm a Republican!"
/orgasm
No wonder you can relate.
I'm still reeling over the revelation that DD and DC watch this sort of thing. No wonder the Tories have been out of power for ten years.
Still, I shouldn't be too judgmental, I expect the Lib Dems were watching Celebrity Big Brother.
I have to admit, that slayed me too.
Last season went off the boil but this season sees a return to the old sparkle. I agree, Bree is genius.
So who was who's favourite? Susan for David C? Edie for David D?
Yes but so not true ,well in a UK context anyway .
Blair babes and Mingers are ghastly by comparison to that majestic creature the Conservative woman. This may be a little academic to you Iain but if there was no other reason to join the Conservative Party , and there are many , the women would suffice. By the age of seventeen they can stuff a goose with one hand while whipping up a tarte fine aux pommes with the other, at the same time as having great sex with their adoring husbands. They are witty stylish fascinating and wholeheartedly commited to the sensuous life from a good wine to a good time .
Liberal women will make you sip eco friendly gruel in a rough weave dungarees and if sex is on the menu at all it will be a politically correct bore including immediate discussion of how she will keep her own name when you aren`t married.
As for the Labour Party….I `d rather join your team … .
No no if you are looking for a flashing eye a sharp mind and the possibility and the promise of thrilling undergarments . Accept no substitute
Conservative Women are best.
If it made you all laugh..........well I suppose you are all of a certain age and habitat........sad really
Pity Dave didn't pick this subject on Today.Waffle,waffle and still more waffle.
I just find it rather funny that her first name is that of a cheese.
It was Oswald who iopined:
"Vote Labour - Sleep Tory" wasn't it ?
newmania:
Conservative women have great sex with any man, not just their husbands. It's only natural given the state of so many of these husbands.
You know nothing about Liberal or Labour women. Nor the women of 'Militant' accustomed as they were to Red Indian-type communal sex at their summer camps thingies.
But you are right about the underwear.
Cameron is also on record as saying the second "season" was not as good as the first.
An American friend sends me "season" 3 as it airs over there. It's definitely still off the boil but the ratings have recovered somehow.
ANON said -You know nothing about Liberal or Labour women.
You quite clearly no less than nothing about me.
Newmania 7:15am - brilliant post N.
But what about the chat-up lines of Conservative chaps? The best I heard was a boast that he could skin a rabbit in 11 seconds. See - Conservative men are both sexy and useful.
Didn't she get turned on by watching him wash the glasses in a pair of rubber gloves?
And I enjoyed his response to her Republican protests that he was a Libertarian, though I was laughing so much then that I didn't catch the end of the line like phillipa.
Priceless stuff.
Libertarians are kinkier in bed because anything goes between consenting adults.
IMO, it was just another media driven slur on the Republican Party.
The US media are overwhelmingly anti-capitalist, just as in the UK, and are ever-ready to disdain the Republican/Conservative ethos.
It's a way of subliminally boosting the liberal/socialist viewpoint by the use of ridicule.
"Bree, still shocked, replies: 'I'm a Republican!'"
The he should have turned her over.
"Husband, what ARE you doing????".
"well if you like things the Republican way, they've completely b****ed the rest of the world so I'm gonna completely b****r you!"
yI went out with a girl who looked like Bree and also didn't like cunning visits, however, it wasn't cos she was a republican it was cos "thats naughty" apparrently!
The fact she didn't recognize she'd had an orgasm was the piece de resistance. Good republican women are a pleasure to pleasure.
Don't worry Iain, you can't be the only gay guy to fancy a roll with brie and coxes!
No oral sex (both ways) no "relationship" out of the door goodbye!
I also insist on other things that cannot be mentioned here.
What is Desperate Housewives?
"Bree takes her blouse off and Orson moves slowly down her body towards... well, you can guess."
I've been racking my brains Iain and - having not seen the show - I can't guess.
Can you explain it to us please?
;-)
Iain, these comments about louche sexual practices are beneath you. You ought to learn from comments made by the newest star in the Tory blogging firmament:

I like my Bree seriously mature and totally runny!
P J O'Rourke has this joke in his book "Republican Paty Reptile."
(A must read for those of an anti-PC persuation).
A man is trying to hitch a lift. A car stops and the driver asks him "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?" He says "Democrat", and the car moves off.
A second car stops. Again the driver asks if he "Is a Republican or a Democrat?" The hitch hiker says "Democrat" and the car drives off.
A third car stops - an open topped sports car driven by a beautiful blonde. She asks him "Are you a "Democrat or a Republican?" By this time he is tired, so he answers "Democrat" and gets into the car.
As they are drive along the wind starts pushing her skirt higher and higher up her thighs...
Eventually he cannot stand it. "Stop, let me out!" he shouts."I've only been a Republican for 10 minutes and I already feel like s******g someone!"
So we have to wait for President Hilary before we get another fat researcher on their knees in the oval office. Not a pretty picture.
Personally I consider most american actresses a little to artificial. Give me Gillian Taylforth any day.
That was indeed a funny line. Series 3 seems much sharper, altogether funnier than the previous one. Even funnier was her rushing off to get checked out thinking she had some kind of health issue!
I don't know why toque is put out about 'this kind of thing' being watched by politicians. Aren't they entitled to some fun time? 'Desperate Housewives' is hilariously camp and silly but very well-scripted and it looks fantastic, too. I certainly don't think it's right to rank it alongside reality shows. It does what 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty' often did by accident, entirely intentionally! x
