Clerk of the House
We spoke with this guy during Folsom weekend last month. He just testified for more than four hours before the House Ethics Committee in the Mark Foley matter. He was the House Clerk from 1999-2005.
We were working out at the big gay Gold's Gym in San Fran when Rob recognized him. He didn't look familiar to me; I'm pretty clueless with faces. Rob said he works out at our gym here in DC, and that I've met him before. Since 80% of people at our gym work in the government, it means nothing to me.
We struck up a conversation with him and his partner, who is HOT by the way (at least, I assume it was his partner). I didn't chat for long as I was too busy scoping out the place for porn stars. For the record, I noticed three.
Once the whole scandal broke, we knew he would have to testify.
He was an out republican during his years in government. I'm starting to believe there are more gay repubs than any other party.
And the majority of those in government are raunchy motherfuckers, apparently. It makes sense since Manhunt is more popular than Google here in DC.
It is now apparent that I can never work in the government. My ass would get dragged up on Capitol Hill regularly to testify. I know too many things. ;-)

there are worse things than getting your ass dragged up on cap hill. like getting your ass drugged up on cap hill. of course, like everything else, i'd blame the repubs for drugging you. most likely for some raunchy sex.

I've noticed that the Republicans have started using "San Francisco values" as a catchphrase to try to smear Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats... maybe Jeff came back from Folsom with a few stories and/or photos? Lately it seems like DC, swarming with miserable freaks, has been stealing SF's sodom-and-gomorrah thunder.

...and years ago when I chatted it up with Jeffrey at Cobalt, he introduced himself as a schoolteacher. I guess we all need our aliases...
The DC Eagle is the raunchiest Eagle I've ever been to. San Fran, Portland, Seattle, NYC all pale in comparison. It's all the repression and compartmentalization that brings the freaks out in this town.

Gay republicans? Why? I just don't get it. Especially if your in a government position, you could affect change. Why would you be in the not-so-gay-freindly party?

Actually, the Portland Eagle is a very sleazy place, or used to be when I was sneaking in there pre-legal drinking age. The New York City Eagle, on the other hand, has a gift shop at ground level. A gift shop. I'm just saying!

Yes, Aaron..but that gift shop is in an *elevator* and sometimes it's at the SECOND FLOOR. Five years I've been going to that joint and I never knew it was an elevator. I was all, "Oh, they moved the gift shop upstairs!" D'oh!
Also, the Fort Lauderdale Eagle had a gift shop too! So does the Ramrod. It's a leather bar thing.

Although I dislike gay Republicans they are quite good in bed.

A moving gift shop? Oh my!
Homer - Sshhh! Don't let that secret out otherwise, everyone will want one.

I can't even pityfuck/angerfuck a gay Republican. I have to respect someone I have sex with.
At the DC Eagle I have seen: dude laying down in urinal, dog-boy licking my boots, back patio orgy (duh) and then the usual stuff. I haven't seen any of that in the other Eagles.
The Portland Eagle has delicious (and cheap!) microbrew.
Posted by: jimbo at October 20, 2006 11:49 AM
The gift shop changes floors! Holy crap! I have new respect for The Eagle.

Homer are you speaking from your experiences with Jim Kolbe? ;-)
dBud: That's a very good point! Homer, is this true?
Posted by: Jim at October 20, 2006 02:26 PM
Do they allow giftshop rides!?
Who do you have to know to get one?

Ain't nuttin' wrong with Manhunt... don't hate.

Hon', the government is run by gay men and black women, get with the program ;-)
Gay Republicans give the best head. Sigh.
The only things I'll miss about the end of the Republican revolution is the great no recip blowjobs and their understanding of post-coital protocol. They never stay to cuddle, thank god.

The Portland Eagle is squeaky-clean these days (except for the grim porn videos they show on the TVs). They serve brunch on Sundays! Where there used to be a BJ nook there is now a pinball machine. I think the new ownership has implemented a strict "no fun" policy -- I'm not suggesting that anonymous BJs in the corner is my kind of fun, I'm saying that the owner refuses to, say, let a DJ play there who actually likes music and could attract a crowd of people under the age of 55. Still, it's probably the most tolerable gay bar on Stark Street.

I am so glad to be out of this whole gay republican loop. I'm happy to just read about all this nonsense.
