Ben Quayle admits writing for 'Dirty Scottsdale' Web site
Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 05:04 PM by RamboLiberal
Source: Washington Post

After initially denying the allegations, Arizona House candidate Ben Quayle (R), son of former vice president Dan Quayle, admitted on Tuesday that he used to post comments on a Web site called "Dirty Scottsdale" several years ago, Politico reports.

The site's founder, Hooman Karamian, alleged in a Monday post on TheDirty that Quayle was "one of the original contributors" to the site, which featured sexy photos of women and "chronicled the city's clubs and nightlife and the predecessor to the popular gossip website TheDirty.com."

Karamian said Quayle posted under the name "Brock Landers," an apparent reference to the fictional sidekick to porn star Dirk Diggler in the film "Boogie Nights." Quayle had a featured section on the site, Karamian said, called "Brock's Chick," in which he sought to "find the hottest chick in Scottsdale." He added that "Without Ben, there would be no TheDirty.com." Quayle acknowledged Tuesday that he did contribute to the site in an interview with Phoenix's 12 News.

"I just posted comments to try to drive some traffic," (Quayle) said.

5/18/07 – Brock’s Corner: Scottsdale Hairstyle’s
(Snippet) As a preface, I want to tell you a little about myself. First off, I’m a tall drink of water who is easy on the eyes. Plus, my moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot. Long story short, on a scale of 1-to-10, I’m awesome.

At night and on the weekends, I frequent the same places that you do. I’m at the bars, the clubs, the pool parties and the free health clinic (actually I’ve never been there, but dare to dream). Basically, I’m F’n everywhere.


7/27/07 – Brock’s Corner: Lake Pleasant
(Snippet) Anyway, after concluding that sipping mint juleps dockside had been replaced with taking body shots off of scantily clad ladies, it was time to lose my yachting attire–and that’s when things started to get interesting.

As I slowly and seductively removed my sexy outfit, a palpable tension was felt across the lake. When I took off my
and the ladies caught a glimpse of my chiseled physique, I was summarily mobbed like I was a member of Menudo during the Puerto Rican day parade in NYC. Not that this is anything new.

6/06/07 – Brock’s Corner: Lost in Translation
(snippet) It all begins after hearing the description provided by a lady friend. I usually have my blind date built up in my mind like this: she is model hot, wicked smart, uproariously funny, runs a 4.5 40-yard dash, once saved a small Indonesian village from a swarm of locusts with only a kite and a tennis ball and has serious daddy issues (just how I like ‘em).

Unfortunately, my heightened expectations are usually destroyed by cruel reality. I could go into great detail about these types of encounters, but then

16. He loves his Michelangelo's ass
Seriously, does everyone in this town have an F'n tattoo? Does the Scottsdale city council have a task force that delves out crappy tattoos to all of its citizens? If that's the case, it's a good thing I can run sub 5-minute miles for 2 hours straight before I collapse from exhaustion. Otherwise, they may have caught me and I would have some seriously bad ink, and that would be horrible because I have flawless skin. Plus, the ladies don't want me to draw attention from this ass and this bone structure. That would be similar to placing a couple paint by numbers pieces just below the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Did I just compare my ass and bone structure to Michelangelo's masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel? Yes, yes I did...I only write the truth.

17. I bet his mom really will not be happy about this
Years later, I still remember Marilyn Quayle's ugly angry speech at the 1992 convention. Between Buchanan and her - I was sure it would never be topped in its nasty ugliness, especially because it hurt GHWB - but W far exceeded the nastimess in 2004 - and the media rewarded him!

21. naughty naughty dirty dirty, first come lies, then the cover-up

he is some weak Republican candidate if I ever heard one

no doubt he has played around on the internet far more extensively than that one website - can't wait until more stones are unturned on these sorts of hypocrites

Quayle initially told Politico on Tuesday that he "was not involved in the site."

Now Quayle says:

"I just posted comments to try to drive some traffic."
"What kind of comments?" the reporter asked.
"This is four years ago," Quayle replied. "This is hilarious this is being brought up. ... This is a smear. This is a smear on me from a smear website being pushed by a smear campaign."

______

His campaign says:

"We are presenting Ben as a pro-family candidate because he is a pro-family candidate."
"We are presenting him as a traditional-values candidate because he is a traditional values candidate."

23. Vanity Fair
One of the purveyors of TheDirty.com (né DirtyScottsdale.com), a Web site that aggregates pictures of attractive women and invites viewers to nitpick their appearance, revealed the identity of one of the message board’s most prolix patrons. The Dirty founder Scott Karamian claimed in a blog post yesterday that the pseudonym Brock Landers belonged to one Ben Quayle, son of former vice president Dan Quayle, and current Republican Congressional candidate from Arizona. The Washington Post reports: “Quayle had a featured section on the site, Karamian said, called ‘Brock’s Chick,’ in which he sought to ‘find the hottest chick in Scottsdale.’ He added that ‘Without Ben, there would be no TheDirty.com.’”

At first, Quayle denied his connection to The Dirty and the filthy things therein, but Karamian responded to Quayle’s dismissal of the charges with a message to the candidate: “I am not attacking you, I am just being honest. Stop listening to your bull sh*t advisors because they are making you look stupid. If you don’t remember me or Brock Landers that is cool. I guess I don’t remember the time you banged (a chick) in my spare bedroom. I just let randoms spend the night and have sex with strangers… should I continue?” he asked, we believe rhetorically. Finally, Quayle admitted that he “just posted comments to try to drive some traffic” but insisted he was not Brock Landers. We covered our keyboard in Saran-wrap and Purell and made our way through the archives of the site, picking out postings from “Brock Landers.” Our five favorites (favorites?) after the jump.

24. Keep digging the hole Ben
Ben Quayle now admits that in 2007 he used a pseudonym to contribute to the voyeuristic website, DirtyScottsdale.com, which later became TheDirty.com, after first denying any affiliation with the site.

Gordon James, who is working for the Quayle campaign, said Quayle contributed to the site under a pseudonym. James would not say which pseudonym Quayle used, but did not rule out that Quayle had contributed to the site under the name “Brock Landers,” a fictional character in the movie Boogie Nights.

James said Quayle would not answer questions regarding further affiliation with the site. James said Quayle doesn’t remember which pseudonym he used.

28. Did he learn nothing from Andre Rison? No one believes you when you use "Brock" as an alias.


"Andre Rison 8/7/00. Cited for obstructing a police officer by giving false information. He identified himself to the officer as “Brock Middlebrook.” Good looking out on this one, “Brock.” When you’re someone as notorious as Andre Rison was at the time, it’s tough to buy into the fact that you’re actually Mr Middlebrook. Don’t worry Andre, errr Brock would go on to get charged with passing bad checks to a jewelry store just 17 days later. Way to be a stand out citizen, Brock."
