Democratic Congressional candidate's dildo photos pop up on the web

Virginia Congressional candidate Krystal Ball (yes, I know) is furious about the release of a series of private party photos showing her sucking on a dildo (or some sort of fake penis.) In the photos, Ball (above, at right) is seen playing with the red penis that substituted for Rudolph's red nose, apparently attached to the face of her then-husband. The lame right-wing blogs are having a field day with this one, of course.
This is the kind of thing where, if she were a Family Values Republican and hypocrite about sex, it could embarrass and even cost her. But Ball is up-and-coming Democrat -- and you know how Democrats love their boners.
"It's incredibly sexist" and "outrageous" that these pictures have emerged [says Ball.] She continues: "I'm angry at the way women in this country are unfairly treated in this regard when they step up and run for office." Because if a man sucked a rubber dick attached to the nose of another man, we would never publish that picture. Besides! What if we like politicians who pose with red dildos in their mouths, hmm? [Gawker]
Of course, seeing as how she has no chance whatsoever of winning the election (it's ranked "Safe Republican" for now), this could only help raise her profile, long-term.
Honestly, who names their kid Krystal Ball? The only name worse than that would've been "Lucille."

Rudolph the Red Penis Reindeer doesn't have the same ring to it.
Stupid name aside...she is really cute. Speaking of bad names... I grew up with a girl named Peaches Anne Creme. Seriously...what the fuck is wrong with people.
She can suck on my penose anytime
I'd hit that more than once.
And suddenly all the 20 somethings that have been posting drunken facebook/myspace photos for the last ten years start to wonder if they might just regret it someday...
I just gave her $25
What happens on the Internet, stays on the Internet. It's too bad she's not a Republican. I'd have snickered.
I hope she just owns up to it and laughs it off. I find these pics kind of endearing. But what's that silver thing in the 2nd to last pic?
Left out the important quote: "And I have a message for any young woman who is thinking about running for office and has ever attended a costume party with her husband or done anything stupid on camera. Run for office. Fight for this country. Don't let this sort of tactic deter you."
Just about every kid in America born post-80s has a collection of images like this (and more to come). I foretell (pun included) Krystal Ball shall be the first in the line of many to show the 'Facebook effect'.
I believe the "silver thing in the 2nd to last pic" is a tiny vibe, maybe one of those that slips over the tongue.
That's why my campaign slogan is going to be: "So? What's your point?"
Oh, there you are fluffy. I was wondering where you were. Looking forward to your next show.
Shes got my vote! She looks like she likes to work.
A husband and wife are having fun together at the holidays. How is this not "family values"?
Amen.
She clearly didn't think running for congress was in the cards when she was photographed sucking a dildo and acting like a whore.
"Youthful indiscretion" does not cut it when you are well into your 20's doing this crass garbage. Stupid, silly, opportunist skank deserves to be shot down.
I'd give her my red nose repeatedly.
