I vote for the pecs of the guy on the left—who appears to have a third leg growing out of his armpit.

Shocked! Shocked I am!

Oh, wait, he's a Republican. Nope, that's pretty typical behavior then. Say one thing, do the other.

Let's see...

A group grope/orgy in the offing.

Homoerotic binge drinking.

Something for the smoke fetishists.

Something for the uniform fetishists.

Same-sex hot tubbing. (And, yeah, the guy on the left! Hotter than fuck!)

Vulgar gesture.

More drinking.

Something for the puke fetishists.

If Hugh can't win in 43rd after pandering like this...

Now why didn't the Democrats think of running a drunken fratboy? Nice puke shot, though.

Is that Will "Chopper" Sohn whose junk is getting man-handled in the first picture? Sure looks like him......

In his campaign picture he looks like a young Liza Minelli....

Personally, I can't imagine backing any candidate I haven't seen vomiting in a sombrero.

LOL! I haven't thrown up like that in 20 years. Brings back memories (not necessarily fond ones). Good to see that frat boy behavior hasn't changed at all in 20 years.

In the 43rd, these photos might actually help his chances.

Well, it's good to see he has a military background. So many young conservatives are all talk and no action. Although it does look like maybe he was confused about what uniform to wear that day.

These photos are a challenge, nay a gauntlet simply demanding a grudge fuck!

Bring it, Foskett!

My question is for the leaders of the Republican Party: WHAT did you know about Hugh Foskett and WHEN did you know it? I smell a coverup!

Are there any Republicans left alive today who aren't assholes? Because I sure don't know of any.

I thought Stephanie Pure won the 43rd district race. That's what the Stranger said, and I always believe the Stranger.

So you added black bars across all the non-Hugh faces in the pics - whoop-de-doo. My original question still stands - is that Will "Chopper" Sohn in the first picture (getting his junk man-handled)?!?

Posted by Willis | October 9, 2006 2:18 PM

hmmm... I thought that repubs were born with a stick up there ass, must be that it is inserted after graduation... but then, frat membership is a repub rumspringa time of life anyways so those photos should be just about youthful fun... its not like I am sarcastically saying it was the GLBT or a dorm group.

Posted by Phenics | October 9, 2006 2:20 PM

...and if that IS Will "Chopper" Sohn in the first picture, then you should take the black bar off him also (seeing as he is a public figure now....)

Posted by Willis | October 9, 2006 2:39 PM

Hey Willis. Chopper isn't just a "public figure," he's an inspiration to young people everywhere.

Posted by J.R. | October 9, 2006 2:47 PM
21

Um, why? Because he (possibly) got his junk man-handled by Hugh Foskett?

Posted by Willis | October 9, 2006 2:50 PM
22

Even with these photos, he's still got a better background than Aaron Dixon.

Posted by Gitai | October 9, 2006 2:59 PM

That's putting the bar pretty low, isn't it, Gitai?

I never can figure out where these out-of-left-field looney-tunes candidates get the filing fee from. It's not free to file for office - and for some offices, it's damned expensive.

What's he running for? He's got my vote. Maybe I'll stay here.

Wait a minute, Eli:

Go back to the beginning of your post:

"We thought University of Washington sophomore Hugh Foskett had a chance at winning the state house seat in Seattle’s 43rd District this November, what with his math major, his platform of text book reform, and his good looks (always a plus in the homo-saturated 43rd)."

You thought *anybody* running with an R next to his name had a chance to win a House seat in the 43rd?

That's either a lie or the dumbest statement anybody ever made on this blog.

Look, I am just as full of shit as the next guy (I said I thought Dick Kelley would win the primary, after all), but come on. You didn't really think this guy had a chance to win this election.

Posted by ivan | October 9, 2006 3:40 PM

HAHA. Not that Foskett had a real chance of winning anyway.

Sombrero wearing projectile vomiting must be a prerequisite for my vote.

Ivan,

It's called "sarcasm". Look it up.

Posted by Willis | October 9, 2006 4:24 PM

Maybe someone can use this little technique on Hugh and his CollRep friends that are too busy puking and fondling each other to defend the homeland. Hey punks, you can put your Republican beliefs into practice on the banks of the Tigris...

Posted by MoTown | October 9, 2006 4:27 PM

Personally, I wonder if this "controversy" won't win him a few extra votes ... even if he's an R in a strongly D seat.

Posted by Will in Seattle | October 9, 2006 4:35 PM
33

Will, his smooth chest, slender tan body and bedroom eyes are what will win him a few extra votes in the 43rd...

another gay republican in the 43rd oh my!

A young cute Republican? Who would have ever thought?

Why did you feel the need to put black bars up on the other faces?

"A young cute Republican? Who would have ever thought?"

They're often cute when young. It's when their self-loathing and substance abuse start to take its toll that they start to look like Barbara Bush.

You should have seen Kerry before he married that ex-Republican. He was an Adonis!!!

Republicans do keep their looks. Ronald Reagan comes to mind.

Thank you for giving Hugh a little taste of what he deserves. Finally some redemption for all the crap I've gotten from him for being a democrat. And no, that is not Will Sohn, its my boyfriend (he's not gay, back off)

"Republicans do keep their looks. Ronald Reagan comes to mind."

Ronald Reagan good looking? Give me a break. He was cast in Hollywood as the amiable loser, Mr. Bland, and he kept the look until the day he died.

Now that he's in hell, he's probably a lot worse looking though. My only regret with Reagan is that he wasn't concious of his suffering prior to his death. I wish it had been a lot more painful for him. Since he enabled a whole generation of mentally retarded and/or greedy bastards, he deserved to suffer much more.

Looking at these pictures, I am reminded of two words, or one star: Joey Stefano

Google it. and make sure your search filter is off.

MFW (53), this is actually a valuable experience that will enrich the final report that he writes after finishing a distant 3rd in the election.

"In conclusion the liberal strategy involves showcasing pictures of me holding my friends' junk. It's a metaphor for the junk we must all hold during our life in these United States."

It should be clarified that he did not hurl in a sombrero (i.e., hurl into a sombrero,) but rather he hurled whilst wearing a sombrero.

I expect his polling numbers to recover once this is explained to the voters.

"The picture of me vomiting while wearing a sombrero is a metaphor to the illegals who have come into America and taken our jobs, sickening our economy."

Wow, sounds like something a Republican WOULD say.

Hugh Foskett was my student back in the spring quarter. I have to say, if you were to ask me which mathematics major I thought was most likely to spray vomit hither and thither while wearing a sombrero or pose in a little sailor suit, he'd have been top of my list. I'm just surprised there aren't photos of him passed out in a ditch in a gold lame' thong.
