Taint that something?

Puerto Rico's Republican Commonwealth Senator Roberto Arango is determined to "bear" down and surpass any candid Anthony Weiner junk show. He started posting pictures of himself on a gay dating cite. Now if he wasn't such a hypocrite and belong to the party of hypocrites, this would just be rather embarrassing, but whatever, live and let live -- But, he does. Meanwhile, he doesn't deny it really, but he has an innocent explanation:

You know I've been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I've been taking pictures. I don't remember taking this particular picture but I'm not gonna say I didn't take it. I'd tell you if I remembered taking the picture but I don't.


The picture that showed up posted of him?

Let's just say, he's ready to play catcher...oh, and thank goodness for pixilation.

So really, your classic weight loss photograph right, the one of how much weight you've lost in your taint?

The Limbaugh meth-and-Viagra diet plan works wonders, but it has some side effects.

I call bullshit. This has got to be from some Puerto Rican Onion-type satirical news site or something. There can't be a Republican politician posting a picture of his reduced gooch on a gay dating site. No way.

I saw this in the comments on an other site (yes I'm a whore and play the field)... You all can judge the veracity of the author for yourselves. .... .






I'm from Puerto Rico (recently moved to the mainland US for law school though), and I can tell you I remember VERY well (to the point of working in the legislative campaign against it), when he championed as the moral values guy an amendment to the Commonwealth Constitution banning not only same sex marriage but also any type of unmarried couple's recognition. I still remember him being elected for the San Juan District on his family values crap, and while at it fundraising for Dubya among the Cuban exile community (he's an exile born in Cuba himself). The saddest part is that one of the accusations he leveled against the incumbent he defeated (and who I both studied under as a professor and later worked for when she tried and failed to retake the seat in 2008) was the rumors of her being lesbian, and her known stance as a feminist activist.

Destiny is not without some sense of humor when it figures out how to do these people's downfall.

Edited to add: He once strangled a rubber duck in a political rally labeled "Bhathia" who was the opposition candidate to Mayor to show what Bhathia was ("duck" in PR is often used as a slur for gay, kind of like saying "faggot").
