WHY TOM DELAY MUST GO RIGHT NOW !! Okay, you defenders of Tom DeLay. How are you going to defend this disgusting and sordid episode? In 1985 a male gigolo placed a solicitous ad in Washington, D.C.'s weekly gay paper, the Washington Blade: "Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time." That is all DeLay needed to hear. He was hot for the guy. DeLay paid for his sexual services, and was so impressed that he hired him as his personal aide, housekeeper, and driver from 1985-87. It turns out that male prostitute Steven Gobie was also a felon. In one of the biggest scandals ever to hit Washington D.C., a city full of scandals, Gobie actually ran a gay house of prostitution out of Congressman DeLay's apartment. The lying, scumbag congressman claimed that he did not know Gobie was running a house of gay prostitution out of his living quarters. I guess sex toys, gay porn, S&M paraphernalia, soiled undies, a condom vending machine, show tunes constantly playing on the radio, posters of Liberace on the wall, ballet rehersals in the living room, phone calls in the middle of the night, and guys waiting in line at the front door with wads of money in their hands didn't give him enough of a clue. Gobie's felony past included convictions for cocaine possession, oral sodomy and "production of obscene items involving a juvenile." Gobie also had a habit of not paying his parking tickets. DeLay did what he could to extricate Gobie from his legal troubles. Using his congressional position, he successfully urged the sheriff to dismiss at least 33 parking tickets for Gobie. He wrote letters to law enforcement officials on congressional stationery. All of this and DeLay incredibly still holds his office and leadership position. We must live in a parallel universe. What? Wait a minute, someone is interrupting me. Are you kidding? It wasn't Tom DeLay who did this? It was who? Barney Frank? Oh, okay. Never mind.
