Hey, if I was as desperate as Lonegan, I'd be diving into the cesspool too.

Lonegan: It's 'Weird' Cory Booker Won't Say If He's Gay; 'I Personally Like Being A Guy'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 8/27/2013 4:55 pm

Today, the Washington Post published a piece on Corey Booker, the Democratic candidate for the US Senate from New Jersey, in which Booker acknowledged that the fact that he is not married has lead to speculation that he is gay. Booker wouldn't confirm anything, but stated that such speculation is perfectly fine with him and, in fact, said "some part of me thinks it’s wonderful. Because I want to challenge people on their homophobia. I love seeing on Twitter when someone says I’m gay, and I say, 'So what does it matter if I am? So be it. I hope you are not voting for me because you are making the presumption that I’m straight.'" Booker's Republican opponent, Steve Lonegan, was asked about Booker's response by Newsmax's Steve Malzberg this afternoon, and said he didn't know if Booker is gay but thought it was "weird" that he was unwilling to answer the question, speculating that maybe "it helps get him the gay vote by acting ambiguous." But Lonegan was sure of one thing: Steve Lonegan is a real man because "as a guy, I personally like being a guy" and he is certainly not one of those sorts who goes in for things like manicures and pedicures like Cory Booker does! "It was described as his peculiar fetish," Lonegan said. "I have a more peculiar fetish: I like a good Scotch and a cigar, that's my fetish. But we'll just compare the two":

1. Some nasty, not-so-subtle homophobia oozing there.

"I personally like being a guy"? Like, if you are gay you are not "a guy"?

2. So what if he is?

He'd still be a Third Way corporatist DINO.

4. and that doesn't make homphobia ok which is what this is about

[KamaAina]

6. Of course not.

It makes not one iota of difference to me whether or not Booker is gay. And Lonegan has cemented his reputation as pond scum.

My distate for "Cory the Tory" is based on his politics, not, as Loonygan seems to suggest, some hazy perception that he might be gay.

[Agony]

5. He would still be a neoliberal, third way, pseudo progressive, corporatist DINO who I am supposed to

willingly vote for... because... no choice

Seriously! this is the best we got!!!! FUCK

exactly, so what if he is gay


grrrrrrrrrr I am upset every day

7. there was a Primary

3. LOL, who can resist such a manly man as Steve Lonegan;

what an asshole he is...

[Zorra]

8. Lonegan appears to be the poster boy for male insecurities.

Any person who believes that scotch and a cigar is what makes them a man ain't worth a pot of beans where I come from.

9. I've known this for years and I'll say it again

But Steve Lonegan is nothing short of batshit crazy. He's in Michele Bachmann territory.

He needs to be stopped at all costs.
