Slog Tipper Has Priorities in Order

posted by on July 3 at 10:30 AM

Slog tipper Jubilation T. Cornball has been closely following news of the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt from FARC rebels—but not because he’s all that interested in Ingrid’s plight. Says Jubilation: “The son of rescued Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt—the dreamily named Lorenzo—is sure a hotty in the Kutcher vein.”

That’s Lorenzo there on the right. You can watch video of Lorenzo here.

Whew. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw AP photos of Betancourt's reunion with her family and thought, "My God, her son's cute!"

But yeah, props to the Colombian government for getting her and the other hostages out!

I, too, have been breathlessly waiting for more pics of the son. I'm so shallow. I hate myself.

On a related note, does anybody else read "unspecified US government involvement" in the rescue as "we sent in a bunch of pipe-hittin' motherfuckers"? The whole operation -- especially the Che Guevara T-shirts on the infiltrators -- just screams "Delta Force!" to me. At least, it screams "Delta Force" as depicted on The Unit.

When I saw the AP pics this morning, I thought, "My god, that boy is hot! I wonder if the SLOG has noticed yet?" I'm glad to see that you did! :)

Ok, I don't feel so skeezy now. A friend just sent me this link after I sent him a bunch of pictures of Lorenzo.

We'll have to go to France to stalk him, though. Alas, he's but 17 according to the website I found.

Speaking of priorities in order, the rescued American contractors are happy to now be able to seek treatment for the sand fly-transmitted disease leishmaniasis. Google image that, if you're so inclined.

Eh. I can see the potential, but he still looks too much like a teenager. If he shows up again in a few years...

I thought he was 16... but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, he's pretty freakin young. Looks more like someone's kid brother than a lust object to me.

yup. way hot. and 19 was the age i saw too, so not even the thought police can have a problem with us lusting after him.

In international coverage, the mom is seen as the sex symbol. But it's nice that the US is paying attention ...
