This Is Completely Ridiculous
Guess what? I’m leaving on a jet plane—right now, this morning, before the final night of the Republican National Convention. I’ve got to get to LA and work on an edit of my piece for Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher. So I’m going to miss the last day, McCain’s speech, and, most distressingly, the balloon drop.
So Mr. Kiley is on his own in St. Paul—stay out of the pepper spray, Brendan—and despite collecting enough video to do roughly 400 pieces for Real Time, despite meeting Miss Minnesota, despite getting hammered on CNN’s dime, despite posting roughly three thousand items to Slog… I feel as if I’ve failed. The convention was a bust for me because… well…
I didn’t get a picture with Rick Santorum. He was in the building, I was in the building. The crew from HBO ran into him but I was in another part of the Xcel Center at the time. So the photo that everyone wanted to see—Sen. Frothy Mix and Dan Savage, together at last—will probably have to wait until the next RNC.
Damn.

I'm going to put the chances at somewhere above 0% that someone, on behalf of Mr. Santorum, was keeping a keen eye indeed on your location at all times.

Posted by Chalupa Alcatraz-Bailo | September 4, 2008 8:40 AMI'm guessing he would have run the other way the moment he spotted you. No way would he let you interview him or get a photo with him.
It would be funny, though...

Posted by ams | September 4, 2008 9:25 AM@2: Interesting picture. Santorum's clearly imagining Signorile's cock tickling his tonsils. Good thing the credentials lanyard hides his tent.

Posted by M | September 4, 2008 11:03 AMDid you get to do what you wanted to with those tap shoes? And even if not, are you going to tell us what your plans were?
