If indeed, Vlad is Russia’s sexiest man then it would be fair to conclude that Russian men aren’t particularly sexy.

Chelsea Handler had a picture of herself taken topless on a horse as an answer to this and some Internet wag observed that the Cold War was getting nippier. :smile:

Interesting that he says “person”, not girl or woman.

I have never paid for sex. I have never had sex with an underage person as an adult,” Gaetz wrote.

Anyway can they go ahead and charge the dumb bastard already? Commenting on the latest 17 snippets per day is becoming something like an unpaid second career.

Someone from The National Review called him a frat-boy. I couldn’t find out if he ever was a frat boy, but maybe he was too sexy for a fraternity?
So Mattie say: “I have never paid for sex. I have never had sex with an underage person as an adult,” Gaetz wrote.
So he paid Greenberg who paid for Matt’s sex partners? Or is he quibbling over handing over cash directly?

Nothing like a sex scandal to get the creative juices flowing, so to speak/write.

I did a search for “Chelsea Handler topless” and it seems there’s a ton of nude pictures of her, but none on a horse.

Still worth it.

Exactly. I’m still getting caught up on comments from yesterday. Got my first vaccine shot yesterday, then a 5 hour refresher for my seasonal job that starts Monday.

“I have dated women in college and graduate school, and have boasted about how great they are across the board, as boyfriends do.

Showing naked photos of women to random strangers and other Republican House weirdos is hardly a show of respect, and is, in fact, incredibly sleazy. It makes clear these people weren’t girlfriends to him, but conquests. Would any of us do this to someone we cared about? Or didn’t really care about, for that matter? It’s about respecting another person’s boundaries. I know this isn’t the worst thing he’s alleged to have done, but I find it disturbing.

Oh, it’s jarring. Matt went from a rarely heard name to a fairly popular one when I was young, but it’s still rare enough that it takes me aback for a moment when people here lately are saying Matt did this and said that and God what a douche Matt is.
