The Republican who's running against Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker (D) in New Jersey's special Senate election said Tuesday that speculation surrounding his opponent's sexual orientation is "kind of weird."
In an interview with Newsmax, businessman Steve Lonegan made a point to trumpet his masculinity when he was asked about speculation that Booker is gay. The popular mayor an overwhelming favorite to win the special election told The Washington Post that he has no problem if people think he's gay.
"It's kind of weird. As a guy, I personally like being a guy," Lonegan said. "I don't know if you saw the stories last year. They've been out for quite a bit about how he likes to go out at three o'clock in the morning for a manicure and a pedicure."
....
"I don't like going out in the middle of the night, or any time of the day, for a manicure and pedicure," Lonegan said. "It was described as his peculiar fetish . . .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."

Doesn't he get what a fetish is? The substitute object.
