I’m waiting for some young man to drop a dime on Bachmann’s husband. It will be a tasty moment worth savoring. ---

You know, it might save everybody time if the twinks looking for sugar daddies just started cruising their local republican party websites. ---

Admitting to being a fan of the View is more gay than just admitting to sucking a dick. ---

Any interview with Kameryn Gibson yet? My understanding is that virtually all closeted Republican anti-gay activists are oral bottoms. Or maybe Hinkle just smelled Gibson’s sweaty gym socks. Or, for extra schadenfreudy goodness, Gibson teabagged Hinkle. ---

Are you guys being funny? I think Mr. Hinkle was saying that he and his craiglist friend were talking about the view from the hotel room, not the TV show. ---

I think it’s hilarious that this dude is far too dumb to lie effectively. Seriously, his story is that he really did 1) go to the Craigslist m4m section, 2) locate and email an 18-year-male, and 3) pay the guy $80 to come to his hotel room. All that is true. But he’s not gay! Why’d he pay a guy to come to his hotel room? “I honestly don’t know.” ---

> [@Arnold\_Winkelried](#): > > Are you guys being funny? I think Mr. Hinkle was saying that he and his craiglist friend were talking about the view from the hotel room, not the TV show. It says in the title of the article; “Indiana Republican Just Talked About Baseball, ‘The View’ With Gay Teen He Met on Craigslist” It could be sloppy or vague reporting though. ---

$80 just to talk about baseball and The View? Shit, I’d do it for $50. ---

Well, to be fair, if he really really really wanted to talk about “The View” with a guy, hiring a twink off Craigslist might be pretty much his only option. ---

What’s the world coming to when a public figure can’t find a stranger on the internet and pay him to come to a hotel room without everyone jumping to the conclusion something sordid is going on? I bet every time you cynics hear about someone caught burying a dismembered body you automatically assume they’ve done something wrong. ---

I don’t know why they bother with these stupid explanations. Does anyone in the world believe that one dude hired a guy from [rentboy.com](http://rentboy.com) to help him with his luggage? Anyone who looks at that website can tell there is no possibility of confusion about what it’s offering. And now we’re supposed to believe this guy paid to “have a good time” with a young man offering those services on Craig’s List in order to rent a room and talk about baseball? Who does he expect to swallow that? Let me rephrase that. Who does he expect to _buy_ that? Why do they even bother? it just makes them look worse when they lie.
