Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

The words do not have to be perfect.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I don’t have much to say about this story (I have not followed it too closely), but I do have to say that I would be a complete failure as a blogger if I passed up the opportunity to use this headline.

Consider this an open thread.

*** Update ***

One serious question, though. Is this guy still in the Marines, and how is this going to work ouy under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?”

    Well done, good sir.

    I don’t have much to add to “Gannon 2: Latin Boogaloo,” but I do find it funny that he’s all huffy about people pointing to his past as a gay porn star, claiming it’s an invasion of his private life.

    “Look, all I did was have sex with men, and let them film me, in exchange for money! That part of my life is between me, my many sex partners, the camera crews, the directors, the marketing people, the video stores, and the thousands, if not millions, of customers who rented and bought my films! It’s nobody else’s business!”

    You’re leaving out his (at least) 2 years as an escort in New York–at least, he had his own personal escort website (“excellent-top.com”, NSFW, in the web archive) up for 2 years, until 2002. Then again, he left that part out too.

    But I have to say, I’m heartened by all the conservative blogs embracing (and/or reflexively ‘defending’) Matt Sanchez. Maybe this is the start of a new era, where gay (or freshly closeted) “velvet mafia” GOP stalwarts can breathe a little easier. Maybe they’ll lose the deep South again, but it could be the start of a principled stand–now let’s see them support a repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

    Too…damn…funny. I wonder if his WATB act and the photos of him with his “perfect hair” will qualify him for being categorized by Ann as…well…another sissy boy “fag”.

    Then to see Mother Superior Malkin acting like the left is so full of hate and vitriol. Sorry hypocrisy, no matter whose, deserves to be shown for what it is, mocked, and beaten mercilessly (I am sure sanchez knows a lot about “beating” things).

    This guy gets up and accepts an award from a group of people dedicated to making sure he is nothing more than a second class citizen the rest of his life, he deserves it. Fuck him (not literally).

    That poor clueless bastard. As soon as the right gets tired of holding him up as a shining example of “hating the sin, loving the sinner”, they’ll kick him out on his ass. He talks about how welcomed he felt by that crowd. Um dude…this is the same crowd that laughed and applauded when their guest speaker used an epithet against gays. This is the same crowd that is led by a man who does not feel that gays should be at all protected by hate-crime legislation. As a soldier, this guy is fighting for your country and its rights, and he’s embracing (literally) a woman who has advocated taking away the first Amendment rights of people with whom she disagrees.

    Mikkel,

    And if you believe that… Well, I don’t:

    When JMG asks Sanchez directly if he is gay, he dodges the question: “Boyfriends: 0 Fiance: 2 Wife: 1. I’d say I’m pretty bad at being gay.” Based on my acquaintance with Sanchez a good 18 years ago, he was pretty good at being gay. Apparently what he’s very bad at is accepting it.

    Good to see Sanchez got a freedom award at the CPAC. I bet a few organizers may have been thinking/wishing dirty sanchez when posing with Matt. Now we see the Pub’s secret weapon; they’ve had the gay hooker contingent firmly in their big tent to pump them up.

    I love the R’s trying to NOW claim it’s “none of our buisnes” what he does in his private life…

    ….as they still scream about Texas vs. Sodomy, or whatever that court case was years ago that got them all hot n’ bothered cuz it was win for the private lives of gay people.

  18. 18.

    Mikkel

    Even if he is gay it doesn’t matter as long as he leads a “normal lifestyle.” They’ve made it perfectly clear that as long as you at least love your wife in the mutual caregiver way and don’t act on your impulses you’re A-OK. If that is the case, he’s no more of a second-class citizen than the many heterosexual asian and indian pairings that have a similar idea about the nature of marriage.

    You know the “our marriage laws don’t descriminate against gays because they’re allowed to get married — to the opposite sex” bullshit.

    Not before they grope said ass a few times.

    I don’t know or care if he is or isn’t “gay.” I know people in the porn industry who will do anything to anything because…that’s their job. I also have a hard (sorry) time believing he’s clueless. This smells like Free Publicity to me. And a picture of him with AC on his website would be sure to bring the submissive wingies running.

    However, it does expose (sorry) the Radical Right’s confusion regarding what is an is not acceptable. I was pretty certain they were all down on porn (sorry!) and extra-maritial sex and I know they were down on sex between folks with matching genitals. But now it seems they’re only down on porn/sex if the people involved are moonbats.

    Or maybe they all want a piece of that.

    According to Riehl, a gay-porn-hooker past is a positive; it makes the man.

    …the fact that he has apparently turned his life around makes him more admirable in my eyes, than had he not had that experience.

    It’s like a truckstop on the road to enlightenment.

    Taking a quick scan of righty blogs, amazingly they all have the same opinion. Once again, the Sisters and Brothers of Perpetual Victimhood are under attack by the intolerant left machine.

    I’ll say it again, they never fail to deliver on the comedy.

    Speaking of which, Newt is supposedly going to be on Dobson’s radio show today or tomorrow to have a planned Jimmy Swaggart moment. He’ll let the audience know he’s gotten down on his knees to seek God’s forgiveness for his past indiscretions. Umm, wasn’t Dobson the guy who said the words “tolerance” and “diversity” were code words of the militant gay agenda seeking to destroy marriage in America?

    I can’t decide what I like best about this story –

    that he went on national television, but believes that the mention of his porn star past is a result of people “digging up dirt” (what, did he think everybody was staring so hard at his winkle that they wouldn’t have recognized his face?)

    that he describes something he did on film, for money, with the backing of a distribution company his “private life,” which ought therefore to be off limits

    that he conveniently has a book coming out (cha-ching!)

    or that, after he raised up enough of a ruckus about student radicals (and how is the existence of radicalism on campus news? Student radicalism, like student rampant partying, have been a constant feature of western society since at least the foundation of the University of Paris. Treating radicalism on campuses as a revelation has got to be the ne plus ultra of Cpt. Renault absurdities) to get noticed by CNN in the first place and voluntarily appeared on national attention, he has the gall to complain that the noteriety is an unwelcome distraction while he’s studying for midterms.

    What an incredibly classic case of someone who thinks that he’s entitled to both criticize and to be immune from criticism. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it – excellent top, indeed.

    Richard 23

    All these homophobic quips just serves to expose the hypocrisy of the left. They pretend to have tolerance for gays, but then slam “Dirty” Sanchez for his gay past.

    They claim their tolerance of transsexuals then call Ann Coulter “Tranny Annie” or “mAnn Coulter.”

    They claim to be accepting of fat people, but photoshop a sub sandwich into the hands of a heavy right winger.

    Black Republicans are called crazy, race traitors, Uncle Toms, etc. Gay Republicans are called hypocrites, pitchers, catchers, perverts, etc.

    The only thing the left tolerates is conformity to their ideology and inclusion in its hive mind. But step outside that angry little clique and anything’s fair game. No slur is too low. No insult is off limits. Collateral damage to their own side is no problem once someone dares step off the liberal plantation.

    The cognitive dissonance must be painful. But they can’t see it. They can’t help themselves. It’s who they are. Just beneath the surface. Stories like this one unmask the unhinged hatred that lies within.

    So Jesus doesn’t love ALL the little children?

    You might get that impression if you read a regular Bible. But Dobson et al have a SPECIAL Bible that includes the Gospel of Joe (C). Joe was a regular guy and Jesus’ (NTZYM) best friend. They hung out a lot and Joe got the inside scoop on what Jesus really thought. All of that talk about loving thy neighbor, not making a complete ass of oneself in public and plucking the plank out of your eye was just to fool the Romans. (The Big J was crafty like that.)

    What he really wanted to do was frag all of the sinners meaning people who weren’t straight blond caucasian men like himself (and women if they knew their place) especially Middle Easterners. Jesus hated those dudes. I won’t trouble you with what J did to Mary Magdalene but I beleive the phrase “Smack my bitch up,” is appropriate.

    Anyway, bleeding heart Moon Goddess worshipping Catholics took out the Gospel of Joe (C) because it offended them. However, after an adventure that made Indiana Jones look like John Edwards, Jimmy Swaggart found this missing gospel and put in Bibles for his followers.

    I didn’t either, directly–Blumenthal’s argument was a bit more complex. But based on Sanchez’s later statements, I’ve now watched him spinning and outright lying to try to minimize his past, so I’m no longer inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt–five years of making gay porn movies and (at least) two years of escorting is not a “summer job”; going out on a few dates with a guy is not “boyfriends: 0”; and I’ll be interested to see the subject of his forthcoming book–the whole thing stinks.

    I read Cpl Sanchez Salon piece and I have to say it is all too true! Conservatives love and support him for who he is, but liberals who say they like gays are attacking him for his politics anyway. They do not care whether or not he is gay or straight or a war hero or anything else, the only admission to their party is that he should not be exercising his free speech and criticizing them. The conservatives support his right to stop the disrespect shown to him as a soldier but the LIBERALS WON’T STOP PEOPLE FROM HATING OUR SOLDIERS, how true that is!

    Anyway, he says that he feels freer to have his gay life out in the open now instead of hidden away like it was, so it has all backfired. Ha Ha, LIBERALS I guess you should have thought of that before!
