Cover Your Ears -- Congress Gets Nasty!

Posted Apr 30th 2009 4:35PM by TMZ Staff

Ever heard of apotemnophilia, coprophilia, frotteurism, klismaphilia or gerontosexuality? Thanks to Rep. Alcee Hastings, who had the embarrassing task of listing off the dirty deeds, we have.



Rep. Hastings was mocking the language used in a proposed amendment to the hate crimes bill. It's unclear exactly what the author of the amendment was actually trying to accomplish -- but it certainly frazzled Hastings.

P.S. -- Wanna know what the terms mean? You'll have to Google 'em. We can't tell you.

20. Frotteurism is a sexual deviance when someone gets turned on by rubbing themselves against another person. It usually refers to when it's unwanted, or a method of molestation. (I learned this in my Human Sexuality class as a Psych major.)

Glad to help. ; P

23. Just when I was enjoying the relatively intelligent comments on this article, #16 had to come on and blow it.

Another word for you to learn #16: P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A

Go hang out at Limbaugh's site.

25. --> 21. Some words for you to look up N-A-I-V-E or I-G-N-O-R-A-N-T. Take your pick because both were made just for you! I also wasn't aware only liberal were allowed to comment. Get your head out of the sand, and while you're at it listen to your FABULOUS VP and stay out of planes and subways, ha ha ha Idiot.

27. Ha! I love that TMZ covered this. Just goes to show the absolutely retarded things Congress tries to pass. I didn't look up the above terms but they have been covering this on talk radio the last week. There were some terms they went through that meant basically getting off on "going number 1" or "number 2". It is getting aroused at any number of things. Exactly how does that constitute a hate crime? Now we have given offenders something else they can claim they have when they go beat someone up. Just more pork in another bill before Congress.

29. This jackass is my Congressman. He’s one of only two Federal judges in U.S. history to be impeached by Congress. For bribery of course. Naturally, he ran for Congress where bribery is accepted and heralded.

30. LOL why would any of those be considered sexual orientation?
that's like banning abuse of dolphins and saying the term dolphins doesn't include blue serving bowls.
