I haven’t had anything to say about the non-scandal that is “Wiener-gate.” [Ugh, if you don't know what I'm talking about, A. It involves Andrew Breitbart and B. Go to Gawker or something, because I'm not re-explaining it.] Basically, a semi-lewd picture of a clothed erect penis was sent from Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account, he claims it was hacked, and it looks like one of Breitbart’s own hacks may have been the hacker.
But what does Dan Blatt at Gay Patriot think about it? Uhhh…well, he says that if Weiner DID tweet the wiener:
Look, Congressmen are human. They have the same weaknesses, the same strengths, as the rest of us. If Weiner’s twitter wasn’t hacked, Mr Weiner did something a lot of men do when they’re lonely and longing for human connection.
What?! They tweet pictures of their genitals to people they don’t know on Twitter? What?! Normal Behavior, according to Dan Blatt!
Oh my lord…
I think that number’s a little low.
I’ve got to hand it to Dan Blatt, I never thought he would have defended a liberal.
[...] Priya Lynn: I’ve got to hand it to Dan Blatt, I never thought he would have defended a liberal…. [...]
Well, he’s not defending the Congressman, per se, because he’s having a really hard time with the fact that the “scandal” has been debunked, because his idiot idol Andrew Breitbart hasn’t admitted that, and never will.
No, he’s just defending tweeting pictures of your dick to strangers out of loneliness. Revelatory.
Well, the fact that he hasn’t taken the position that this is a typical example of disgusting evil liberals solely because it involves a liberal is a big surprise to me.
This seems to say more about Daniel Blatt as a person than as a politico. Emailing pictures of your genitals is, from my observation, mostly something closeted/ashamed/desperate guys do. He even mentions this as being something “lonely men” do.
As for “Human connection” – yeah, right! Human connection comes when you interact with other human beings. Not with cropped images of their pixelated penises. And the logical conclusion of such texts, a quickie at a mutually agreed-upon rest stop of some kind, is not exactly the activity of people seeking “human connection.” It’s for people wanting to get laid.
Maybe Dan is lonelier and more ashamed than we thought. Otherwise, how else would such a straight-laced button-up guy consider this to be a “normal” outlet for “human connection?”
