It’s been several days now, and the McCain campaign has not only refused to comment on why they accepted a $2300 check from a gay-sex maven, but even more interesting, the campaign is keeping the money and they’re not telling anyone why. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that John McCain is comfortable taking a maximum donation from a guy running a sex site called Manhunt (though many are now calling it McCainhunt). And it’s even more laudable that McCain’s money is coming from a gay sex site. I have nothing against either, in fact some of my best friends… well you know. I do, however, find it funnier than hell that McCain doesn’t have a problem taking money earned quite literally from gay sodomy (though it’s pretty clear that McCain does not want to lose gay Republicans, thus the reason he’s keeping sex money over what I’m sure are the objections of Evangelicals – guess we’re seeing how much McCain actually cares about James Dobson’s values now!), and I’m simply astounded that the corporate media – save a very few people like Ben Smith and the Boston Herald – have given McCain a pass on this story. Unless the corporate media plans to never again do a story on controversial donors to campaigns, they need to explain why they’re not covering this particular story. Or is it only news to the corporate media when a Democrat has a controversial donor? I don’t plan on letting this story go any time soon. The longer McCain hangs on to the donation, the longer we’ll be trumpeting McCain’s embrace of gay sodomy. Not that there’s anything wrong with this. Oh yeah, that’s right, according to McCain and the Republican party there is.
