Slog - Comments on The Alleged Teabagging of Reggie Love http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/the_alleged_teabagging_of_reggie_love Everybody's talking about Reggie Love, the man behind the care and feeding of Barack Obama and the subject of a fun profile in the New York Times today. Mr. Love, a former football and basketball player for Duke University, now spends his days on the campaign trail making sure Obama has clean ties, a steady supply of organic tea, and a sympathetic ear: When Mr. Obama hits a rough patch in the campaign, Mr. Love is sympathetic.

Hillary is being taped washing down a giant bag of sea salt and vinegar potato chips with boilermakers when an aide whispers the next act she has to follow. "I have to do WHAT?!"

As stupid as that is, kinda hope this guy ends up in the ranks of the Obama administration. A couple of ex-frat boys spending spring break '09 at Guantanamo Bay kinda makes me giggle.

A teabagging photo is pretty tame compared to some party photos that make their way onto those sites.

1. This is the candidate's aide, not the candidate himself. With Bush, it was the candidate himself.

2. While it appears that Mr. Love has matured and moved on from the ol' fraternity days, it is not so clear that Dubya has (sobriety notwithstanding).

A dude - a fully conscious, if likely inebriated dude - put his testicles in the face of an unconscious dude, and the implied spin on this is that the unconscious dude has done something that is considered so wrong that it ought to affect his career years later?

Fratboys are SO FUCKED UP.

But @3 had a better suggestion.
