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.

Rep. Aaron Schock bares his muscles for the cover of Men's Health magazine

Looks like RILF is going to be a running feature. Muscle queen Congressman Aaron Schock, whom I recently described as the sexiest member of Congress, has once again revealed himself to us in his true glory - this time on the cover of Men's Health to promote healthy eating and exercise. As is fitting for the feel-good, pea-brained, pumped-up tone of the magazine, Rep. Schock made sure to score a few bipartisan talking points by praising Michelle Obama's work on her Let's Move! campaign. At least that's what I think he was talking about; I was busy looking at his bulging pecs.

RILFs and RINOs

Anyone who knows me knows that the most important part of my life is my daily perusal of political porn. Last night, I was reading a particularly saucy piece on Politico about the townhall backlash against Rep. Paul Ryan's budget proposal when the tightness in my pants made me aware that the accompanying photo really showcased the House Budget chairman's best, uh, assets. Dreamboat Paul Ryan has already been noted for his youthful good looks and wonkish dedication to policy, but this is the first I've seen or heard of his tight ass.


And as exciting as it is for the politics junkie in me to catch a glimpse of the taut and supple amid the parade of wrinkled and grey, I'm noticing a disturbing trend: all the hot members of Congress are Republicans. Remember Republican Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts? If you didn't know that he was the successor to liberal icon Ted Kennedy, you might remember him as the senator who once posed nude for Cosmo. I may have been dismayed to see the conservative "dark horse" candidate come from behind to win Kennedy's old Senate seat, but if I had to admit defeat to anyone, it would be the dark stud coming at you from behind. The Tea Partiers who elected him are now calling him a RINO over his vote to keep funding Planned Parenthood, but to me, anyone to the right of Mary Landrieu is fascist, so he's squarely in the Republican camp in my book. If anything, he's a RILF.


I saved the Congressman that I'd most like to fuck, Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Illinois), for last.


With pecs and six-pack abs like that, one could almost overlook his medieval, virulently homophobic positions. Is his chest waxed?


Then there's this photo of Congressman Schock at a White House picnic, where the dress code probably demanded that he cover up that delicious torso of his in clothing. After this picture made the rounds in all the gay Hill staffers' inboxes, Aaron Schock took to twitter to proclaim, "Never thought a pic of me w/ my shirt on would go viral. Learned my lesson and burned the belt." Burn the cerulean belt? That's so dramatic! Why doesn't he just set himself on fire? That's the only sure way to get rid of the flamingo pink shirt, crisp white pants, and sculpted Adonis body too.
