Andrew Gillum in bizarre hotel room incident

Can I propose a career move for Mr Gillum? Convert and join the Log Cabin Republicans. Just because.

I got that from David Sedaris in Me Talk Pretty One Day. He startled me by saying that marijuana made him uptight and self-conscious (the opposite of how I’d always experienced it), and contrasted that with how meth freed him from inhibitions. I’ve never tried meth, so I can’t speak to that.

You know the drill… “War is peace, freedom is slavery, speed is narcotic.”

Is there any reason not to think that it wasn’t just him and a couple of his buddies getting together to use meth? I mean, not that that is a good thing, but the gay orgy thing seems to be just gossip, no? Doesn’t he have a wife and kids? Nothing wrong with being gay, but the “orgy” part, if untrue, would put an extra hurt on him and his family.

Hey Ted Haggard has a wife and kids too, right?

Yes, never specifics. He thinks looking elegant and speaking clearly with a good tone is enough. But then again, I never see anyone worth their weight on TV media.

If you’re traveling alone, and the police find you in a hotel room with someone who advertises as an escort, and there are drugs, and you’re both intoxicated, that’s some strong circumstantial evidence. No matter the escort’s gender.

“A Democratic party star is facing questions about being alone and inebriated in a Mondrian South Beach Hotel room with a friend who once purported to be “a pornstar performer” online and who ended up hospitalized over a suspected drug overdose.”

That lead contains all the elements of a good Jimmy Buffett song.

Why would a particular drug be common in the gay community? It’s not like the drug dealers know the sexuality of their customers. They would (presumably) have been raised in different neighborhoods, different ethnic groups… it’s just confusing.

The person who would otherwise have been arrested was a politically powerful person. Although, to be honest, I’m surprised that a black Democrat was not arrested in Florida. (Larry Craig’s political position did not save him from a similar humiliation.) Of course now Mr. Gillum will have to explain himself. He wasn’t suffering from overuse of marijuana.

Are you being serious?

Drugs are sold (from the seller to the buyer) on the buyers initiative. The buyers will come to your neighborhood if they are motivated enough. They don’t need to know the sexuality of the seller.

Sidetrack: I find Fareed Zakaria and Brian Stelter always worth listening to. Over at MSNBC, Nicole Wallace often surprises me by saying something unplatitudinous. (There are others worth mentioning, but I’ll stop here, given it’s a sidetrack.)

Back on topic: I’d guess that Gillum was embraced on the theory that those who pay attention to politics were hungry for someone who’d remind them of Obama. But Gillum never really had much in common with Obama, other than having a darker-than-peach skin color.

Gillum to enter alcohol rehab. Notice how he releases this on a slow news day.

So, there you are, delivering a pizza to a bunch of gay furry fetishists snorting meth, PCP and MDA, and someone yells through the door that everybody is on quarantine and you hear the outside lock go “Clank!”

“Look, Honey, I can explain! I was delivering food to this room full of…well, kinda strange people and then they locked us in, so I can’t…Honey, can’t talk, a racoon is trying to fuck me…”

The jargon in this thread makes me feel about a million years old.

Cuz its speed. It lets you fuck for ages and regular use keeps you skinny and fuckable even when you’re not high. Two things that top the list for gay men in the club or the trade scene.
