How is this "juicy?" God, Perez, you really do put the Do in DOUCHE.
I wonder how much better his life would have been if he could have just been out and proud. Instead of ruining his family's life, he would be who he is supposed to be. Sad.
Re: Perez Hilton – DO YOU HAVE A LIFE, YOU MUST SIT HERE AND REFRESH THE FRONT PAGE EVERY 10 SECONDS, YOUR WORSE THAN THOSE LOSERS WHO REALLY DO THINK THEY ARE FIRST.

OH NOOO. I GAY REPUBLICAN?

He needs to die his hair the same colour as his moustache or his moustache the same colour as his hair looks a bit strange lol
yay FIRST
Re: Perez Hilton – Notice: For some reason my blog site seems to take a minute or two (sometimes more) before displaying comments. So when I first post a blog item, people immediately start commenting, and it takes awhile for the comments to show up. During that time, EVERYONE thinks they are FIRST.
So who cares about being first anyway?
P.S. Was I first? And I am not really Perez, but you knew that! Now on to the next party, I am sooo popular.
ROFLMFAO
i also love to suck perezs lil dick while i constantly repeat myself!!
SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME!!!!
So-o-o-o-o-o? Doesn't sound as if there's a story here yet–why can't the media wait until the details come out before making up their minds and ruining another career based on inuendo.

3rd i think i dunno

Nothing juicy about that, Perez!
And the hits just keep on coming for the Replubi'cant' party.
PICANTE!!!
republicans are the biggest liars an hypocrates of all time…….they love to give an receive butt fucks….
Hi BBE!!!!
He's a loser
Re: This could be fun – i also love to suck perezs lil dick while i constantly repeat myself!!
SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME!!!!
Hey "F— YOU"- nobody cares!
I cannot believe!!! this guy is cute and he could have anyone at the local gay bar, why is that a male hooker has to be on the picture?
I would do the Representative a bj for free and I would even let him kiss me… okay I saw pretty woman!!!
There are many Republicans who are gay and gays who vote republican. derrrr
He looks exactly like my next-door neighbor, whom I suspect is also gay.
Re: Perez Hilton –
Perez, the real problem is that this story is not "juicy" at all. The guy may even be telling the truth about not being gay. WHERE IS THE JUICE?
"I am not gay" - Richard Curtis said as he removed the 12 inch black dildo from his ass.
Perez, as a gay man, why would you promote a story like this? I don't get it.

Come on Chubo, tell everyone that he got caught sucking on your tiny taco, it was a horrible sight that I'll never forget!!!
So Perez, the only "scandal" here is that he is "rumored" to have done what you openly do? So, what is the scandal? You are lame.
How good can your piece of shit sight be if you're on this piece of crap sight to advertise your piece of shit. Get a fucking life, weiner!!!
shame on him
I'm starting to think that ALL republicans are closeted fags
I love seeing these Republicans fall… Maybe they'll finally get a clue and stop telling others how to run their lives… it's so obvious that people who are al over other people's private lives are trying to deny/hide something in theirs.
Hey… there is nothing worst for a hooker than to not get paid! The archives are full of the same story… Maried guy that wanted some "side order" and gets a hooker…I'll bet you he is a rice queen and the male hooker is a TRANNY wanting to get her $5 dollar for the BJ that she/he gave to daddy on his truck!! I cannot believe how hot he is… he is a hot daddy!
Now where did I put my surprise face….?
This actually happened in my city and the details are pretty clear. They met at an 'adult' store, went to a hotel, got it on. Sen. fell asleep, dude stole his wallet then called later demanding $1000 if he wanted his wallet back. Long story short, Sen told the cops(outing himself, unlike Craig) and the guy was arrested. Other than trying to get money out of someone for their wallet(idiot) I don't see what the big deal is. Guys are on the down low everywhere.
hahahaha i agree w/ dannyboi…
those republicans what are they good for? absolutely nothing…
I'd blow him. And he even looks like he used to be a fireman. Yummm!
If you read the article, they don't know who is extorting from whom, hence the investigation. I'll wait to see how this pans out. However, if it does turn out that he's gay, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.
Re: Jonnot – you are naive. he just happened to "helping someone out" LOL by having his cock in his mouth. You see officer, he was falling and I helped him to standing up by putting my mouth on his cock.
LOL child, it is time to put the barbies down and grow up
Re: socalguy – because he has supportd legislation in WA to deny equal rights to gays, partner benefits, etc. it is called hypocricy. being married to a woman and having kids while sucking dick. Passing laws to deny rights to gays while the whole time sucking dick.
It is called hypocricy
Re: CandyKay – How can he not be gay after admiting to being in a hotel room with a gay prostitute. They were chating about the weather? Child grow up
Re: Jonnot – He admited to being in a hotel room alone with a gay prostitute. how many people hang with gay prostitutes alone!!!! in hotel rooms on a regular basis and don't have sex??? Oy Vey you all are naive
I don't care whether the guy is a Democrat or a Republic, a Senator or State Representative.
I'd kick the guy's ass for being a filthy blackmailer.
Not everything is about sexual preferences, you idiot.

NOW, AREN'T THEY ALL "HAPPILY MARRIED"? HA HA HA! POOR WIFEY!
Perez, you hide as much as possible when you report just so someone looks gay. Ever think you could be hurting your own cause?
Re: George – Are you fucking kidding me?
ALL NANNY LAWS COME FROM DEMOCRATS —
Are you fucking insane?
THE FUCK HEADS TRYING TO "RUN YOUR LIFE" ARE ALWAYS 110% OF THE TIME DEMOCRAT FUCKERS - Telling me where and how to spend my money where I can or cannot smoke -what we eat, what we smoke, what we watch ,what we lsiten to. EVERY NANNY LAW EVER PROPOSED CAME FROM A DEMOCRAT you must be fucking high on your welfare cash, came early huh?
The left typically believes that government can make us better people and protect us from all the vagaries of life.
Now as a side note:
WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT THIS CLOWN DOES IN HIS FREE TIME>?
In Canada the rule is the only people who have moustaches are People in the armed forces, Quebecers, and Gays. Isn't that how it is in the US?
I am STILL to this day FAR FAR FAR more concerned with the
NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN BRIBE MONEY FOUND IN A DEMOCRATIC *****CONGRESSMANS********* FREEZER than what some 2bit lowlife STATE REP sucks on in his free time……..
Typical commie left response though..
I find it interesting how liberal democrats claim to love, love, LOVE gay people…and yet! They're the first to out one and call them "guilty!" Dem. Senator Foley comes out and admits to being gay and the democrats praise him for his courage. Yet they viciously "out" conservatives. Is this not working against the "civil equality" liberals promote? Just saying…
I love this quote: "I am not gay. I have not had sex with a guy." That sounds like someone trying to convince himself that using that dick-duster moustache on a guy's peen doesn't really count as having sex. He totally looks like a gay. CRASH AND BURN HYPOCRITICAL REPUBLICUNTS!!!
There seems to be quite a few gays in politics. I wonder who will be next.
Re: Center Right – I think that it's more about the fact that these Right Wing Republicans scream morality and family values all over the place, and yet, they keep getting caught with their pants down (so to speak).
No way…. another hater mongering right wing turd behaving badly!!!
Unbelievable!!!
I'd suck him off.
NOT ENOUGH INFO HERE TO DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS DON'T YOU THINK? AS A GAY ACTIVIST I'M ACTUALLY GONNA GIVE THIS GUY THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TIL I HEAR ALL SIDES. THERE'S A LOT OF SCUM SUCKING OPPORTUNISTIC WHORES OUT THERE. I SHOULD KNOW….I LIVE IN A CONSERVATIVE TOWN AND STILL GET APPROACHED BY HUSTLERS DOWNTOWN. IT'S SCARY! I JUST WALK FAST AND IGNORE THEM AND PRAY THAT A HOMOPHOBIC COP DOESN'T TRY TO CONNECT ME TO ONE OF THEM. I WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO GIVE ME THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. BESIDES ….ME HAVING TO PAY FOR IT? AS IF!! GIRL PLEASE!
he is hot, I would let him fall asleep in my bed any day.
Richard Curtis has sucked my dick so many times I had to have a blood transfusion. Is Richar (the DICK) Gay? Is the Pope Catholic and Gay? Are Priests pedophiles? Are pedophiles sick fucks? Are sick fucks Republicans? See the Circle of Life? Go fuck yourself, Dick. Then call up Larry Craig and DICK Cheney and have the threesome of your lives. Then swallow some poison. Yours in Christiandom, ORAL Roberts.
This isn't news, everyone knows that Retarticans are secretly very liberal. I bet George W. gets it on with Cheney. Thats the real reason he doesn't have any women making allegations against him.
All I can say is THANK YOU to all you Repulicunt losers out there who give the rest of the world such unending entertainment. Everything that comes out of your mouth has nothing to do with what goes in your mouth. (BTW, Lynne Cheney takes it in the butt.)
Bill O'Reilly has sucked Dick Cuntis's pee pee so many times he has varicose veins sticking out his rectum. Bill O'Reilly is bi! He fists Anne Coulter while she ties hogs.
Richard Curtis is Tom Cruise's love slave. They have the same crooked (from incessant RAMMING) teeth. As they say, "only your orthodontist knows for sure."
Dick, the DICK, Curtis, the CUNTis, is totally innocent — of anything morally wrong, except for being Republican and a total fucking hypocrite. If Anne Coulter sat on every Republican man's face, the entire party would go gay. BY CHOICE. I guess, they're right. It's a choice. And Anne Coulter is responsible for homosexuality everywhere.
I just read he was the Fire Captain of Vancouver, so OF COURSE HE'S GAY
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH CANADA IS GAY, did you miss the memo?
That is my godfather!!! he is not gay
I wonder if his "Prostitute" was a "younger "boyish" type" and did he come from BARNEY FRANKS HOUSE?
My god is there no end to the hypocisy of these rightwing, family values, literally cock-sucking Republicans. They are like the kid who yells "something stinks" first; you just know he is the fuck who farted. And this bigoted fascist son of a bitch, Richard Curtis ( ROUGH TOUGH MR. FORMER FIREFIGHTER), is the epitome of those ass-banging, jizz drinking hypocites. They hate themselves so much that they are willing to persecute others just like themselves so, for appearance sake, no one will know they are out riding the Hershey Highway or taking it up the ass and being face fucked. The bastard asslicking liars like this should all be outed and ridiculed just like "I AM NOT GAY" Larry Craig. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!
FUCKING HOMOS!!!!!! YOU ALL ARE GOING 2 FUCKING HELLLLLLLLL!!! BURN FAGGGGGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These awful Reublicans they should all have to come to work for my Gay Prostitution Ring …..Bah oh wait, they're all too old. I only like minors…
ewww homeboys mustache needs to gooo its looks like dried up squirrel tail…. and is making me want to vomit everywhere
Sounds eerily similar to what happened to me - Democrat - New Jersey Governor . Admitted to having a gay affair. Resigned after allegations of sexual harassment, rumors of being blackmailed on top of fundraising investigations and indictments. - My Poor WIFE WHAT A FUCKING LOSER HYPOCRITE I AM.
Gary Condit - Democrat - US Democratic Congressman from California. Condit had an affair with an intern. Condit, covered up the affair and lied to police after she went missing. No charges were ever filed against Condit. Her remains were discovered in a Washington DC park.. HEY I MEAN IF OJ CAN DO IT……….
Democrat - National Security Advisor during the Clinton Administration. Berger became the focus of a criminal investigation after removing highly classified terrorism documents and handwritten notes from the National Archives during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings.
WHAT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??…please keep this guy in the spotlight I mean a guy sucking off a guy is a WAAAAY bigger deal than NATIONAL SECURITY…..
Impeached by the House of Representatives over allegations of perjury and obstruction of justice, but acquitted by the Senate. Scandals include Whitewater - Travelgate Gennifer Flowersgate - Filegate - Vince Fostergate - Whitewater Billing Recordsgate - Paula Jonesgate- Lincoln Bedroomgate - Donations from Convicted Drug and Weapons Dealersgate - Lippogate - Chinagate - The Lewinsky Affair - Perjury and Jobs for Lewinskygate - Kathleen Willeygate - Web Hubbell Prison Phone Callgate - Selling Military Technology to the Chinesegate - Jaunita Broaddrick Gate - Lootergate - Pardongate
MY POOR WIFE AND DAUGHTER THE HUMILIATION - BUT HEY keep this guy in the news so no one remembers I SOLD OUR MILITARY SECRETS TO THE CHINESE……..
- Democrat - U. S. Senator from Massachusetts. Pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, after his car plunged off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island killing passenger Mary Jo Kopechne…..
WHAT GIRL WHAT CAR??? Huh? But no keep this guy in the spotlight….
Ninety Thousand Dollars in my Freezer -The money was part of a $100,000 payment that had been delivered by an informant in the bribery probe, which already has led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.
BUt seriously this guy sucking another guy is a WAY bigger deal….
Wow - the little wanker righties are getting their panties all in a bunch now.
Blame it all on Hillary.
Boo Hoo you little uptight hypocritical pussies.
Okay…The Republicans were all up in arms because Bill Clinton got a blow job from a very willing woman. No coersion. All consentual. Sure maybe you wouldn't trust your daughter around Bill, but in political terms so what?
But the same Republicans who attacked Bill Clinton for consentual sex with an adult woman are good buddies for sexual predators like Tom Foley, REALLY insane sexual predators like John David Atchison caught trying to solicit sex from a 5-year old. And now we have the Republican attempt to steal votes in California being led by a Republican ass-biter.
Yes…Republican Ass Biter.
ho'd have thunk it? The man behind (no pun intended) the California initiative to split California's electoral vote is a Rudy Giuliani supporting, Ass-biting Missouri Republican. Yes…ass biting. From the Daily News:
A mysterious Missourian and Rudy Giuliani backer once found guilty of biting a woman on the butt is behind a scheme to chew off a chunk of California for Republicans in 2008.
Charles Hurth, a Union, Mo., lawyer, is the only registered agent of Take Initiative America, a corporation formed to change how California's 55 electoral college votes are apportioned.
Question: What's the difference between your microwave oven and sex with Dick Curtis?
Answer: Your microwave won't brown your meat.
Just how corrupt ARE the Republican politicians?
TPM Muckraker totals up the current scoreboard. From the past:
Jack Abramoff. (Prison)
Ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA). (prison)
Ex-Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) (Prison.)
Ex-Reps. Mark Foley (R-FL) (Retired due to sex scandal)
Katherine Harris (R-FL) (Defeated)
Tom DeLay (R-TX) (Retired due to criminal indictment)
Curt Weldon (R-PA) (Defeated)
Ex-Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) (Defeated)
Next we have the current scandals:
Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) (Sex scandal)
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) (Sex scandal)
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) (Payoff from Veco Oil Co)
Rep. Don Young (R-AK) (Numerous scandals under investigation includein payoffs from Veco Oil Co.)
Reps. Tom Feeney (R-FL) (Abramoff-related investigations)
John Doolittle (R-CA) (Abramoff-related investigations)
Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ) (Investigation for corrupt land deal)
Rep. Gary Miller's (R-CA) (another crooked land deal.)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) (Insider land deal that failed to pass the "smell" test.)
Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) (Under federal investigation apparently connected to the Duke Cunningham scandal.)
Rep. Ken Calvert's (R-CA) (Crooked land deals)
Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) (Ethics investigation connected to the removal of New Mexico U.S. Attorney Iglesias) and
Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) (Ethics investigation connected to the removal of New Mexico U.S. Attorney Iglesias)
Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in 2006 partly because of the many scandals that they had prior to that time. The current situation looks even worse for them come the election of 2008.
Re: Mr. Republican – Except for the FACT that the Democrat led Congress has a LOWER APPROVAL rating than even George Bush.

immorality:] Bob Packwood, Senator (R-Ore.), resigned in 1995 under a threat of public senate hearings related to 10 female ex-staffers accusing him of sexual harassment.
[corruption:] George Allen, US Senator (R-Virginia), if you can believe a book about him published by his own sister, is a brutal bully . [immorality:Although denying a charge of being homosexual in Oct. 2006, US Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in a public bathroom in Aug. 2007 .
[immorality:] Bob Livingston (R-Louisiana) was about to replace Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House until he resigned in disgrace when it was revealed that he admitted to had been involved in several adulterous affairs, (while attempting to crucify Democratic President Clinton for having done much less)!
[immorality:] Bob Barr (R-Georgia): the principal sponsor of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, has been married three (or is it now four) times. And at a party in 1992, Barr actually licked whipped cream off the breasts of two women, neither of them his current wife. Now that's family values!

immorality:] Bill Thomas (R-California):
This 11-term Republican is chairman of the Ways and Means subcommittee on Health. In June, (2003?) the Bakersfield Californian reported that Thomas, who is married, was having an affair with health care lobbyist Deborah Steelman, who steered huge campaign gifts to Thomas' war chest. In an "open letter to friends and neighbors" (voters), Thomas did not deny the relationship, but said during his legislative career, " . . . Any personal failures of commitment or responsibility to my wife, family, or friends are just that, personal. I have never traded a public responsibility for a personal one and I never will."
[immorality:] Dan Burton (R-Indiana):
The Chairman of the House Government Reform & Oversight Committee. He hates President Clinton so much that he publicly called him a "scumbag". Following an expose, Burton was forced to admit that he fathered an out-of-wedlock child, a fact he denied for years.
He has yet to admit, however, that during 38 years of marriage he has committed adultery with dozens of women, sexually assaulted others (including a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood), and kept mistresses on his campaign and public payrolls - to the tune of at least a half-million dollars.
[immorality:] Charles Canady (R-Florida), Judiciary Committee member. A leading opponent of abortion, Canady lied to his constituents about his adulterous affair with Sharon Becker, which caused her divorce from Florida businessman Robert Becker.
[immorality:] Dick Armey (R-Texas): as an economics professor before entering Congress, was accused of sexually harassing female students, according to the Dallas Observer.
[immorality:] John Peterson (R-Pennsylvania): has been accused of sexual harassment and hostile-work-environment claims by six women.
