LMFAO!!!!
Maybe it was Russ Feingold. I keep praying he will magically become gay since he is sooooo hot!
I call 'em "male impersonators" and straight guys I've talked to call 'em "scary". I remember a bunch of us tried to set up a friend with this one guy who was very soft, but turned out to be straight. Gaydar switched off.
there's a difference... I'm not sure what it is exactly, but then again I'm a gay liberal.

Caligula/Palin 2012
You know it feels right.
Or is what is considered big in Texas, just really snack-size in the other 49 states?
The WHOLE dinner party?
As a woman who has been groped more than she would have liked to have been, I'd like to inform David Brooks that if you don't like that hand near your genitals, you may remove it.
Or give the groper a quick kick to the ankles.
To allow the groper to continue says as much about you as him.
Kinda brightened my day, neither of us ever referred to it again.
So, David, either the dinner party was extremely boring, or ya liked it and the groper.
The only remaining question: was his wife very pregnant at the time?
boring meetings with you.
:)
I suppose we can get a good giggle out of whether or not David Brooks actually liked being groped and where he might belong on the Kinsey 1 to 6, but I am thinking this was a pretty important U.S. Senator and Mr. Brooks believed it was in his own best interest, personally and career wise, to ignore the groping.
I'm gonna plump for a truly desperate closet case like Larry Craig.
Speaking of plump, I'm not sensing that David Brooks's thighs are taut and muscular.
This sounds like Senator Graham of doing things.
Perhaps it was future Florida Senator Charlie Crist?
I've always found the utter nerdiness of David Brooks a bit charming.... (when he's not making me angry)
If it was Maria Cantwell or Blanche Lincoln, he would be writing a combo of a romantic novel a la Scooter Libby, and a column how these vixens were destroying America. He would asked them to sit next to him at many dinner parties.
My back up answer is Senator Brownback. Sort of like figuring the usual suspect, the most repressed and self righteous have to express their urges somehow.
Republican politicians are especially hypocritical on sexual matters, saying one thing to their Christianist constituencies, while doing something else in what would be their private lives if it weren't for their HYPOCRIsY. Certainly we know that many politicians in both parties, vote or act publicly one way, while pursuing their own antithetical interests.
Sex in Washington is very much a two-way street. Yes, the rich and/or powerful take advantage of their situation and press against lesser beings. But, also, many lesser beings, like rock'n'roll groupies, throw themselves at the rich and/or powerful.
If we could set aside our prejudices, I'm sure some situations would be clearly predatory by the politicians but other situations would be predatory by the non-politician. I think we might be surprised how often both sides are in play.
It may well be that professional politicians are particularly lonely and perhaps they have more marital problems than their constituents. Maybe. Or, perhaps they are much like the rest of us who have more private lives.
It's the hypocrisy that is so problematic, a hypocrisy that the journalism establishment aides and abets rather than addresses.
So easy to stop these types, really- all it takes is moving away slightly on your chair & whispering, "Well, Senator (or Father Mike or Uncle Tim), you're "barking up the wrong tree."
Too afraid Mary McConnell would cut off your access, dear BoBo? Or turn the tables if caught & accuse you?
but sooner or later it comes down to fate...
I would have said -- in my best barroom voice -- "Get your hand out of my crotch, Senator, NOW." And, I would have made sure that everyone in the room heard me.
with all the closet cases on the hill, he'd never work again.
however, he could have looked at this guy's hand and said 'excuse me' and got up from the table. I think the guy would've taken the hint when he sat down again.
Yea, I'm a bit of a "sadist."
I don't think that someone would do that to a complete stranger, maybe wishful thinking? Mmmm.
That sounds more like: "If you don't stop that in 20 minutes, I'm going to call the cops!" ;-)
Then I felt rather nauseous.
