The Fashion of Faux Pas

Ken AshfordSex Scandals2 Comments

I have little to say about the whole Spitzer-prostitute scandal.  Seems he got caught with his pants down, seems he’s going to resign.  I have little interest for the details, or the theory that he was "targeted" by Republicans in the FBI, or other such nonsense. However, what I don’t get are these women — in Spitzer’s case, in Vitter’s … Read More

Governor Spitzer And The Hookers

Ken AshfordSex Scandals1 Comment

I think the most amazing thing about the breaking news story involving Governor Spitzer (D-NY) and the prostitute ring is that some of the hookers charged $5,500 an hour. $5,500 an hour?  Are you shitting me?!?

Ugh.  So much to discuss: (1)  White House egg-on-the-face: After months of beating the war drums to invade Iraq, it turns out that Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb program after all.  As Matt says: "Meanwhile, how outrageous is it that the best twelve months of alarmism from Bush & Cheney have come in the context of an environment where … Read More

This one comes from Washington State.  It involves GOP State Rep. Richard Curtis, a lawmaker who voted against domestic partnerships for gay and lesbian couples and opposed an anti-discrimination law to cover sexual orientation. So, if you been following the GOP follies lately (as reported here and elsewhere), you can probably guess what comes next. Yup, the anti-gay Curtis apparently … Read More

Forget the sex toy found in his butt (which I politely didn’t mention before), but why two wetsuits? UPDATE:  Maybe it’s just me, but in light of the humorous tragic way in which the fine reverand died, maybe they ought to change the front page of his church’s website….

I mentioned it last month; you may have heard about it — the double murder/suicide in Florida involving GOP operatives.  Speculation was (and remains) that this involved some gay lovers’ tryst.  Or something.  The dead men were: Ralph Gonzalez, 39, his roommate, David Abrami, 36, and a friend, Robert Drake, 30…. Gonzalez was executive director of the Georgia Republican Party … Read More
