Because I don’t want to wind up in the hospital.
As for the critics–jealous, much?
David Thompson looks into the Porntastic Form.
Hmmmmmmm. Wonder if Glenn Reynolds has one of these, yet. Heh.
A question for Bill Richardson:
Have you behaved inappropriately or not in public settings with female members of your government administration, jokingly or not? Have you gestured to female public servants and political appointees—who work as colleagues with you—and made lewd gestures, specifically pointing to them and then pointing at your crotch with a room full of media and other politicos there in the room?
C’mon. Which of us hasn’t done that?
Remember children, when the Left outs closeted homosexuals, it’s not gay-baiting. It’s truth-telling!
Is your prognostication of hospitalization based on the fact that he’s an ex-marine, or the rumor that he has an eleven inch uncut monster cock? Or both?
Both, but mainly the latter. Superior gauge weapornry.
SMEAR THE QUEER!!! GET HIM!!!
No, really. It’s cool. He’s not gay enough.
Thwaaap!
So, you don’t want to bring a knife to a gunfight, eh Dan? I don’t blame you a bit.
Corporal Sanchez writes well and makes a difficult case with dignity.
On the other hand, I couldn’t get out of the Salon site and when I did there was a disagreeable pop-up on my screen.
Intentional or not, that spelling created an excellent pun.
Perhaps it would be a politically healthy thing if there were a general sexual orientation outing. As long as the research is done and there’s no unfounded mistakes, both sides of the political fence would benefit by removing distractions that obscure the more important aspects of politics.
There must be a lot of people out there with verifiable information about the offsite sexual hijinks of politicians, figures with direct ties to politics, political pundits, or those reporting on politics. After all, it stands to reason that public figures/wannabes from both sides must be fooling around on the down low with folks of traditionally inappropriate gender. I doubt there’s any statistically sound reason to assume the spread is skewed to one side of the aisle or the other because of personal political beliefs.
A designated week should be set aside when all this can be published the first day and then hold a frenzied competition for the rest of the week to see which side can score the most points off it (my money is on the Dems) and then leave it all alone. There would be a separate outing day and crowing week for dealing with those whose recreational peccadilloes are more traditional and limited to the opposite gender. Any newsworthy exposures where people of indeterminate, trans, or evolving gender are involved can be dealt with in either week based on some agreed upon formula.
If this is done soon enough, by say this summer, it will remove a lot of potential distractions from all the various 2008 campaign races.
Plus it would generate enough traffic on here to buy Jeff a platinum-coated nuclear-powered lap-top thingy.
Will that cause birth defects?
I like to think so, yes
less’n o’ course you have on yore lead BVDs..
Even better: I think the general assumption should be that everyone, even (or: especially) our elected officials, have done their stint in the gay porno business in their youth.
I suppose that could lead to some disappointment, though. Even lawsuits, in the case of unjustifiably raised expectations.
Most purportedly liberal/progressive blog denizens make that assumption about moderates/conservatives already so that won’t work. See that’s why moderates/conservatives are all chickenhawk closet queers – too busy with the performing art scene to enlist. Except that Sanchez…well anyway, that’s why.
There should be a Sexual Peccadilloes Outing Week held at least yearly.
It just makes sense to have all the outing and then amnesty across the various spectra regardless of political or sexual affiliation. Whether said political or sexual affiliation is in the closet shouldn’t matter. Even the fact that sexual affiliation is a personal matter and behind bedroom doors that no one else has any goddamned business opening shouldn’t matter. As a matter of fact, I’d be willing to accept that having invested so much in perfecting the practice, the nutroots be allowed to speculate about any and all damning religious, sexual, or dining room behavior of anyone and/or their relatives they want during Outing Week without the bother of being held to any inconvenient standard of verifiable facts. But just that week, and no one pays them any mind anyway.
Everyone gets their shot during Outing Week each year and then it’s behind us. The Reality Based Community can get back to their comfort zones of far ranging discussions of Fitzmass, BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), CDS (Cheney…), RDS (Rush…), and GDS (Generic…), and the rest of us can examine the various political hopefuls’ stances on issues without the distractions of jackassery. It’s win/win.
Edwards should be off limits though. Metrosexuals are just too damn middle of the road to make it worthwhile.
Hey, all I did was bring the donuts.
I’m having Latino Outing flashbacks.
Hey! Watch it, pal. Nothing was ever proven!
Hell, that would be an improvement for most of them.
Used to be all about FINDING dead girls and live boys in real time. What happened to our world?
For what it’s worth, cock fighting has just been banned in New Mexico. Cockslapping can’t be far behind so y’all better just watch it if you travel down this way!
Cake donuts. With the holes that are all tight and puckery.
Jeez, people—get your minds in the gutter!
