Yet Another Jerk

I can’t get enough of the story of the gay Republican in the men’s washroom. Why does a US Senator think he can get away with this? I love the “I’m not gay. I have never been gay” rant. What an idiot. Get help, you hypocrite.

And then he blames the newspaper for harassing him. He’s blabbing about family values and voting against equal rights for gays, all the while cruising guys in bathrooms, and it’s the newspaper’s fault? Asshat.

Jeffrey Toobin on CNN brought up a point that I’d been thinking of all day: the cop whose job it is to hang around men’s washrooms at the airport looking for action has got one of the worst jobs in America. Imagine being that cop. It's the kind of job Angelo would get stuck doing in Confederacy of Dunces.

And this may be a dumb question, but why is this a crime? As much as I looooove seeing a family-values Senator get nailed for this, who is the victim here? Two people have anonymous sex in a bathroom, who is getting hurt? Other than the fact that I wouldn’t want to be the person in the next stall who realizes what is going on and goes eeuuuuhhh. This has to be a misdemeanour at most, and the punishment is the public humiliation. Who cares about a fine and a jail sentence.

Best part of the evening? Dan Savage discussing washroom cruising with Rick Sanchez. It’s the first time Sanchez has been bearable to watch. And Savage saying, I have no first-hand experience in this. Funny.

ok ok ok he's not gay! he's just a guy who likes sex w/guys

also: do you have to interview to be the cop who is airport-bathroom-bait?

There wouldn't be any need for this if being gay wasn't such a big deal for so many people and if it wasn't such a political issue. I'm tired of conservative politicians spouting 'family values' then failing to live up to all the crap they say they believe in. (we have plenty of them here too).
