Have we found his on-line marketing materials yet?

He certainly doesn't look like a $1000.00 hooker.

Um, if I were a gay man, I'd want something cuter for my $1000. I swear, these closeted republicans aren't just gay, they have horrible taste.

Although, I have to admit the guy who came out with the Craig story actually was pretty cute.

LMAO! Another fuckin' Republican closet case!

When is the media event where he and his wife announce "I'm not GAY. I never have been GAY."?

This is just delicious.

Gay Gay Gay Gay Gay!

Props to Mr. Castanga. I don't give a shit about his "escort ethics" if he outs another Republican hypocrite.

Where's my American Flag lapel pin?

I doubt he has any online material. I doubt he has a computer. I doubt he has a home. He isn't a $1000 a night escort, he's a hustler who wouldn't bat an eye at blackmailing some poor idiot who had sex with him. He's done some low-budget porn too. I've known him since he was 17 and he is and always has been a mess.

I hope they used condoms or Rep. Curtis is going to have a lot more to worry about than his reputation.

Ah, Spokane's male escorts are vindicated.

If he was a $1000 a night escort, he won't be much longer; at least in this town.

Did you see Cody's MySpace page? (That's where the Spokesman-Review's photo comes from.) The URL is http://www.myspace.com/cody_cuddles. On it, Cody describes himself as a "24yo Italian guy seek[ing] 'the perfect Cuddle Buddy.'" Ooooh! I just want to pinch his cheeks!

Sweet, there are provable facts that could come come about if there is a trial (or not)

-video store has records of the videos (and titles!) he rented, possibly confirming that he is a liar
-surveillance of the coming and going to hotel room

I'm beginning to think that if all the closet cases in Olympia were to come out of the closet, we would have civil marriage equality by now. Gheezuz how many more Right Wing cowards are gunna get caught with their oh so straight hand in some dudes pants?

Posted by Sargon Bighorn | October 30, 2007 3:43 PM

Having known a lot of escorts, I can pretty much say that the "No really, I'll pay you the rest!" thing happens a LOT. Especially since they are wary about asking up front due to cops.

I'm guessing it wouldn't have been an issue beyond some minor extortion threats. The guy probably would have moved on to party with his next john if his republicunt client hadn't freaked.

Here's more... http://www.columbian.com/news/localNews/2007/10/10302007_Search-warrant-Curtis-was-victim-of-gay-sex-extortion.cfm

In the article it talks about a 2001 forgery incident. That was the last time I saw him. He had hooked up with some guy and stole his checkbook and went on a spending spree and tried to claim that the guy gave it to him and told him to buy whatever he wanted.

Why didn't the closet case just tell the cops, "this gay hooker stole my wallet and is making up an outrageous lie about me being gay! Damn those homos!"

Fucking sweet

The affidavits were filed to obtain two search warrants. One is for videotape of public areas at the Hollywood Erotic Boutique, shot from midnight to 6 a.m. Friday.

The other is for room registry information for Curtis at the Davenport, along with surveillance video, photographs from the video, room purchases and room access information. The hotel has a computer system which records when individual room doors are opened.

Burbridge’s affidavit said he met with a clerk at the adult video store who identified Curtis as a customer who had been in the store and met a young white male.

This closet-case anti-gay is srsly fux0red

@20: remove the period from the end of the URL, and try reloading the page a few times. Even though it's set to private, the idiocy seeps through the "private" setting. I love that his mood is "optimistic", as of today. That's even better than the link I saw earlier today to that guy who got caught nailing a corpse-- his MySpace mood was "excited", but he hadn't logged on in a few days.

@30: It's the international sign for douchebaggery.

I forgot to point out that while his profile age is 26, he's advertising himself via his headline as 24. It's called "getting your story straight", and I'd suggest trying it.

OK. This is my theory and I'm sticking to it: The very fact that this would be a really good time for the closeted R's to lay low for a while is why they can't resist pushing their luck.

The more scandals the GOP has, the worse it would be for them to have yet another scandal. The worse it would be, the greater the risk. The greater the risk, the more pleasure they take in tempting fate.

Not only are the Republican closet cases going to keep hooking up every chance they get, they are going to do it even more often, in even more public places, with even more unreliable skanks, and they are going to come from higher and higher levels of government.

It's going to be a kind of chain reaction of self destruction. Until one day they wake up and realize they don't have to live like this.

Oh dear, what a sad situation. I think the GOP Representative is very handsome. Too bad he had to resort to things like our friend from Spokane. But that's the closet for you. Sad for him, sad for his wife, sad for his kids.

I must admit that there was a time when I liked the straight married guys, so I haunted hotel bars - and was quite successful.

I hasten to add that I always insisted on safe sex, and had a charming little speech about how neither of us knew where the other had been. Most of the time that worked like a charm.

Needless to say, I never did anything as vulgar as take anyone's wallet after they fell asleep, although I had plenty of opportunity to do so. I usually Just slunk out, after making sure the poor thing had a blanket over him.

Ah, the memories....

The big questions and issues:

1. Despite the mountains of video and audio evidence along with the other electronic records, how much of it will 'disappear'.

2. Will the MSM take this story and run with it. Will it have even a limp, much less legs.

3. No mention of Curtis's love of Jesus. If he doesn't love Jesus enough he'll have a difficult time. Everyone knows that with Jesus you can move 'mountains of evidence into the trash can'.

4. I demand the transcript of the interview with his wife. I want to read every line she says about this. She is complicit with his double life. She is also part of the problem.

5. I demand statements from his constituents. Especially the ones who depict Jesus with a gun. Especially those people.

6. Where is Mike Rogers? Why doesn't he go on CNN and discuss this issue with journalists. Go. Now Mike. Talk.

How transgressively queer -- both the original actors and those reveling in its retelling. Queer Theorists must feel vindicated.

Of course, this kind of kink goes on nightly in sex clubs in the major cities. For $40 and an airline ticket, the homophobe politician could have done better in any of the clubs.

Apparently some Democrats have forgotten Barney Frank and Fr. McGreevey had similar origins. Republicans do not have a monopoly on kink (see, S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom or his Twisted Sisters for your kink license today).

It's enough for this gay atheist to thank gawd he ain't queer, ain't a Democrat, ain't a Republican, and is a just an ordinary kind of homophile who enjoys ordinary homoeroticism with another homophile Beloved.

What a queer trick for a treat the low-rung uncover.

Yes interesting saga, even to the jaded, and to some degree it is karma

But, there is historic and rampant homophobia everywhere in all these tales and that is very sad

Fucking strange to be ranting in alliance with the far right religious fanatics, that is bothersome, and that tells me Queers need to sort this stuff a bit better

We all know, except to the sexually constipated among us that the Curtis game is repeated thousands of times every night everywhere. Guy gets to bigger city, rents room, cruises for a pickup - and so forth.

So old news, like an all time easy to get laid format of sorts. Of course to those who have never really cruised the pick up points I guess it is sensational ... ie. seemingly even "I never do that" Dan.

It would be nice to see this guy untangle from his closet, come out and change his politics. Join the Bears in the Pride float contest.

I fear he will kill himself instead.

Dan, there's nothing there that says he's a lying cocksucker. He's a lying kinky bottom, but so far all we can infer is that he receives blowjobs from men and pays $$ to take it up the ass.

Mark @ 53: The national media (outside of the blogosphere) won't touch this because he's a Republican. Remember how they recloseted David Dreier a couple of years ago, when he was outed by his boy-toy on the public tab at the same time that Gov. McGreevey got nailed for same in NJ? McGreevey lost his job and career, but Dreier's still in Congress, though the brief scandal did cost him his shot at being Tom DeLay's heir apparent.

You know, Cody's story about the perv offering him $1,000 for sex struck me as total crap, because that is way too much for video-store hustler to be pulling down. But the added details about asking for $1,000 to go bareback makes it totally believable. I think I believe this kid completely.

Good God can't the police and courts find something better to do with our tax dollars.

Posted by blondton13 | October 31, 2007 6:56 PM

Many good points were made about this situation; however, I think, after hearing about Cody, he's a troubled kid with few goals. I noticed on his MySpace that he is well travelled (I assume in more ways than one), but I believe what he has to say. The key to this is the fact that Curtis stated that they would find the DNA for Cody inside the condom and that they would find his DNA outside (i.e. Curtis got it up the butt). When approached for butt sex with non-condom use, Cody initially said no and later relented when offered $1000 (guess everyone has their price to ignore the possibilities for STDs).

I think Curtis should have paid the boy.

As for the hypocritical, Curtis' votes didn't affect him. He's married with children (explaining the sex of the spouse isn't necessary). Curtis gets all of the IRS benefits, and, until now, isn't affected by someone making the right decisions for him in the event he goes into the hospital (although now, I hope he doesn't come down with a terminal illness that his wife has to decide life or death).

Curtis voted what worked for him and his constituency. I most certainly don't agree with his votes, but I can understand why he voted the way he did.

Dave@64: After reading Matt Sanchez's article, I was appalled. How could someone in gay porn even ATTEMPT to speak to me about morals. I'll jerk off to porn, but I'll be damned if one of the models is going to instruct me on morality.

saylor@68: I TOTALLY agree. I posted the same on a bulletin on MySpace.

Posted by Richard not Dick | October 31, 2007 7:10 PM

Richard not Dick,

For Matt Sanchez, the porn is the least of it. A poster at John Cole's blog discovered that Sanchez likes to post snuff videos on the internet in his spare time.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=25d_1193165970

He is one sick, sorry S.O.B. Keep in mind Sanchez, an ex-gay "Christian" conservative, is currently a reporter embedded with the military in Iraq. And he's a regular contributor to "repectable" conservative publications like The Weekly Standard and The National Review. Dysfunctional head cases the barebacking, Brokeback cross-dresser Rep Curtis and the sadistic con artist like Matt Sanchez have become mainstream in the Republican party.

But I have to admit....

Geee-zus! Repres. Curtis is ONE-HOT-MAN. I'd hang with the guy anytime, and he wouldn't have to pay me either. (On the condition that no lengerie was involved, though. I freak out when I'm too close to that stuff walking through a department store.)

I think some of you are missing the bigger picture. You don't get into congress unless you are a sick unit. (I am not refering to homosexuality, rather these mentally screwed up congressmen who engage in self hating and acts which they themselves view as perversion) The reason being is that you are much easier to control (vote this way or else) if you have skeletons in your closet.
