Man claims one night stand with Senate candidate O'Donnell... With pics... Developing...

So far, just the teaser headline on their home page.

:eyes:

1. It's been 'developing' on DU all day. Yours is just the latest thread on it. n/t

[blogslut]

2. Gawker has the story as an exclusive

And it's pretty pitiful.

[Contrary1]

3. It developed into nothing much.

4. Okay - assuming it is true - WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ADMIT TO THAT?

"Yeah, I got drunk one night and fucked a watermelon, but I don't remember much about it other than she was sort of cute for a watermelon."

Some things should never be revealed under any circumstances.

5. You mean someone

Beat Bill Maher on this? I can't wait to hear his take on this.

8. Wait, is this a different one than the other 5 already posted on DU??

Just trying to keep up...

9. the pics are actually the most damaging part of the whole story...

...because they make it impossible to deny. On the other hand, there's nothing about O'Donnell's behavior that's especially wrong-- I mean, most of us have similar stories to tell about our romantic encounters-- everything has to start somewhere. But O'Donnell is going to perceive this as an attack and will want to deny it, something the pics make impossible. It does make her look almost as foolish as it makes the young man who published the details of his less-than-romantic encounter online for the world to read.

12. While I agree the guy is an ass ... let's think for a second.

I agree ... from the story and the pics, she didn't do anything wrong. Even if she did sleep with the guy (which he says didn't happen because he's pubic hair phobic, the dope). But let's image that they did have sex.

No one should care. He's an adult. She's an adult.

But she, as a candidate, takes that ultra religious tone. God is telling her to run.

Her showing up at the apartment of a guy she doesn't know is not adult behavior.

Your mention of similar stories rings true. I when I was about 20, I dropped a friend, at 2am, outside the apartment of a girl he met 6 months prior, he had not spoken to her since. He went up ... woke her ... and came back and told me I could leave ... because she was going to let him stay there ... because he told her his car had broken down a few miles away. Guess what happened??

And once, a friend and I crashed a wedding reception just so I could meet up with a girl who was a guest at the reception. She was not the bride, not a bridesmaid, and not really a frend of the people getting married, her parents knew the bride's parents. So a friend and I dressed in suits and crashed the reception ... and then, the parents of the girl I went to see (thinking this was hilarious) let me and the other guy stay at their house. I was about 22.

If she went to this guys place, she's doing what we all did, when we were in our early 20s.

The election was already way over ... so this doesn't matter ... but does she look foolish ... yes. Geeze, the background in the photos looks like a party I had in college, in the basement, when my parents were away.

10. The guy was a good Dem, turned of by Bush

At least that's what is inferred when he says without panties it was evident that she didn't wax.

11. I read it over at Gawker and they didn't have sex.

and he talked about her pubic grooming. A bit beyond the pale for me.

The headline is a farce.

[Adsos Letter]

13. As much as I abhor this twit, and what she represents about the current state of political discourse

...those pics don't prove anything; they don't even suggest anything to my mind, other than COD having some laughs in a pub with a guy in a Scout uniform. If the guy hadn't produced a "narrative" these pictures wouldn't be proof of anything he suggests. In fact, they STILL aren't proof.

I call bullshit.

14. Christine

I'm surprised the man made it a whole night. She must have given him some sort of date rape drug.
