Yes, but Schock wouldn't.

And even if he isn't gay (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA), thanks to Dr. Ben Carson, we all know what she's gonna be like on the other side!

We're coming perilously close to anal rape jokes (I'm not saying that's why you're doing Robbie), but I do hope he can manage to avoid them.

Oh God no! I HATE prison rape jokes. Or non-jokes as seen on the various Laws & Order. I'm just still not over the Ben Carson 'prison makes you gay' insanity that happened not so long ago.
Honestly, I don't actually care if he's gay. And I know I just posted the whole 'hahahahahah' thing, but, if I'm being honest, I find that kind of existence, if it's true, so terribly sad. I read something not too long ago (and cannot remember where or what it was) about how the closet makes you do stupid, reckless things because of duplicity involved and the energy it takes to keep up the charade. Is this the case here? I don't know.
The only thing I find genuinely funny in this whole mess is the fact that the design firm that did his wildly off 'Downton' office is called Euro Trash.

Oh, I feel ya, boo. I was actually thinking about it earlier and just wanted to say something before someone inevitably does make a prison-rape joke.

I like to think that most of the people on this thread would avoid that. I live in hope.
I wonder if I can have Euro Trash come design my apartment in Bridget Jones chic!

I know exactly where Aaron is coming from. My hometown and my church (I mean the denomination, not just my hometown church) was just FILTHY with repressed homosexuals going out of their way to make sure everyone knew how super Christian they were.
I got many a beej in the Sunday School room while everyone was in the main chapel, let me tell you...and at least two of those boys still live in my hometown, still live their repressed life, and god only knows how sad they are and what they go through to convince everyone they're "straight."

The Itay Hod story is old--it's what started the whole thing rolling.
But Michelangelo Signorile's column today is the last word. At least so far.

It's the almost last word!
It stuns me when people (gay and straight) are surprised that there is a whole network of people who will cover for closeted because they think it's 'bad form' to expose these kinds of stories. No...this isn't about how he dresses. This isn't about following Tom Daley on Instagram (well...not only about that). Good lord, if you work in the theater in NYC for one year, you know who sucks off whom and then goes about their life 'straight.' DC is far, far worse.

The real last word belongs to the brilliant, brilliant writer Joe Keenan, who wrote clever witty novels with a gay protagonist long before he became a well-known television writer for Cheers and Frasier and Desperate Housewives.

IN DEFENSE OF AARON SCHOCK : A POEM
Some news stories demand weighty and thoughtful essays. Others, like the saga of Aaron Schock, can only be addressed in light verse. Here’s my effort:
The folks who knock poor Aaron Schock
Are jealous, mean, and crabby!
They’ve made it clear this whole damn week
They hate the fact that Schock is chic,
And loathe the way his firm physique
Makes theirs look pale and flabby!
He’s done some things that even I’ll
Concede were slightly shabby.
But when he smiles his boyish smile
Who cares about the fiscal guile
That helped a smart young Anglophile
Redo his office in a style
His friends call “ Down-Low Abbey.”
Denounce the way he can’t refuse
Fine tailoring from Paris!
Revile his festive shirts and shoes!
His insta-grammed vacation views!
But I, for one, am sad to lose
A congressman who’s half Ted Cruz
And half Neil Patrick Harris!
Let mockers mock
But Aaron Schock
Is gracious in defeat;
For Aaron Schock
Has taken stock,
And tweeted one last tweet —
“It’s hard to face
Abrupt disgrace,
But still it’s kinda sweet
To realize
How many guys
Would love to fill my seat!”

Lester Holt just informed us the Feds are after him. As if we didn't see this coming. I think the Megan McCain POV is actually quite pertinent. Worth pondering. What the hell do young Republicans -- I don't know any -- think about such shenanigans? Such blatant thievery and inherent lack of integrity? If they don't care about this SOB's possibly criminal fall, what do they care about? I may never know. We don't meet for coffee or cocktails, young GOP voters and I.

I'm surprised his disappearance isn't more of a media thing.
Perhaps if he had been on a disappearing plane...
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
