No, what's "disturbing to contemplate" is anyone being aroused over Barbra Streisand. Or Hillary Clinton. Or Nancy Pelosi. THAT'S perversion! A willowy blonde with a rapier wit and the courage of her convictions is bound to arouse most men, except the crowd that drinks their latte with their pinky extended and that craves to be dominated by a leather-clad Helen Thomas.
"Willowy"? Jumping jimminy, Jack. She's down right skinny! I agree with the rest of your post, and get a grand kick out of her writing.
