DILFs exist too!

I've been getting upset thinking about all these hot conservative RILFs, so I decided to do one on the people who invented handsome politicians, the Democrats. The one that I've been enamored with longest is of course my once and future Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom (because I'm still living in France for a few more weeks). What does the Lt. Governor do, you ask? No one really knows. He has a budget of less than $1 million and a staff of three. Compare that to his former DA in San Francisco, current Attorney General Kamala Harris whose office oversees a department with a budget of $735 million and 4,700 staff (latimes.com). No wonder the snarky political pundits in California call his office "Lite Gov." But the gays would keep on loving the Marrying Mayor even if he decided to become a stay-at-home dad with his new baby girl. Julia and I once met him at a Yolo County Young Democrats event.

After Newsom, the list of attractive Democratic men in high office gets a little dubious. I seem to recall a certain Scott Kleeb (pronounced "cleb") running for Congress in Nebraska in 2006 and 2008. He lost both times, but we overlook minor faults like that for corn-fed Midwestern boys here.

Two time failed Senate candidate Harold Ford, Jr. ran an ugly, homophobic campaign in Tennessee, going out of his way to not just oppose gay marriage, but to attack civil unions and support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in a futile effort to convince Appalachians that he's a moderate sort of Democrat. To make matters worse, he moved to NYC after his loss, reinvented himself as a Wall Street hack, and tried to carpetbag his way into a US Senate seat there just four years later! Of course, you can't win a Democratic primary in New York on nothing but gratuitous homophobia, so Harold Ford promptly announced that he supports full marriage equality for gays all of a sudden. Wow. Why am I even writing about this unprincipled panderer? Oh yeah. He's kinda good-looking.

Maria Shriver and the Governator announced their separation today. For those of you who don't know, they have a very hot son named Patrick Schwarzenegger. Here's to hoping that the Kennedy blood (the aforementioned original handsome pols) wins out and the kid turns out to be a Democrat.


The Republican bench of attractive young men may just be a little deeper than the Democrats' right now. But the moral here is apparently that you can be a conservative douchebag, moderate Democratic gay basher, losing candidate, barely employed Lite Governor, or barely legal teenager but I'll still fantasize about you as long as you're handsome.
