Politics / Media Beau Breedlove's "To Catch a Predator" Interview

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 2:16 PM

As mentioned earlier, 365Gay News (on Logo) will be airing CBS News guy Ross Polombo's interview with Beau Breedlove tonight at 7 pm—and from the look of this short clip, Ross may be getting a call from NBC's Chris Hansen for coming dangerously close to stepping on his "To Catch a Predator" territory.

I had a dream that I got lost in his eyebrows. It was terrifying. I made it into his brain, where I miraculously found a pair of tweezers underneath some hair gel. I was able to secure the tweezers because beside the hair gel, there was nothing else there.

real classy lordylordy! Calling this kid dumb. I guess you could also say he brought this on himself by dressing like such a slut. Hmmm that sounds kinda familiar?

I hate to say it, but this ain't-a-gonna go away. I wish Sam had been thinking with the head on his shoulders and not the one in his pants. And I find it hard not to place some of the blame on Craig (I've seen pics of him doing the gay cowboy schtick), but in the end Sam is supposed to be the responsible one.

Increasingly, it's looking like Sam can't be an effective mayor and the complaints by some who know him that he has been less than truthful on other occasions is becoming more believable day by day.

I think it's approaching time for Sam to admit he effed up, start his life over, and perhaps try again in 10 years or so. Or, maybe better, start out on a new career path where truthfulness is less important. Sales perhaps.

Oh brother Jason, it was just a dream! Maybe I shouldn't have done so much acid as a child, who knows. Don't get all selfmarighteous. Maybe he's a freakin' rocket scientist like you. Who cares. The media and the obsessive bloggers have created such a circus around this that it has potential for a regular time slot on 'E'. I think Amanda can get a part as a sanctimonious blogger - she can be dressed as a cowboy - a whip in one hand and bible in the other.

And furthermore, some of us dress like sluts and ARE asking for it.

Phelps' bong hit was inappropriate, and he first tried to deny it. I know many people have different opinions of victimless drugs and victimless sex, though.

Sam did know what he did could end his career, and he took the risk. I'm not picking up a pitchfork myself, but when a recall vote comes up, only those with strong enough emotions will bother to cast a ballot. That may not be good news for Sam if it's a battle between the morally righteous and the laissez-faire.

Re: Mr./Mz. "FIRE DAVIS, ADAMS, and RUIZ NOW":

Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the Internet this evening.

To clarify: The first sentence on "pedophilia" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, specifies:

"The paraphilic focus of Pedophilia involves sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally age 13 years or younger)."

PREPUBESCENT, got that? Can we maybe drop the "pedophile" bullshit??
