Full Episode
You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love. Okay, gay men, I think it's time. I think we need to stage an intervention for all of our straight girlfriends. I came to that conclusion after reading about the affair of sorts between New York Magazine star political reporter, 31-year-old Olivia Nuzzi, and 70-year-old anti-vax brainworm sufferer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Now, most of the time, gay men and straight women are in agreement about who's hot. Chris Hemsworth, for example. Gay men and straight women all agree, hot. But there are guys out there that only straight women think are hot and they're usually not great guys. Guys like Vince Vaughn. I assume he's a lovely person.
Vince Vaughn starred in a string of hit comedies in the 90s and early 2000s and straight girls made him a sex symbol and they have never taken responsibility for that or apologized. Gay men, of course, we never thought Vince Vaughn was hot. We have nothing to apologize for on the Vince Vaughn front. 37 different straight women had sex with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
while he was married to his first wife, who sadly committed suicide after finding the list of other women who found her husband irresistible. And now Nuzzi has nuked her career for him. She was placed on leave from New York Magazine after the affair she was having with Kennedy, the affair of sorts, whose campaign she was covering at a time seemed to be boosting, was discovered. Look, I get it.
Lots of younger gay men, like lots of younger straight women, find older and more powerful men attractive. The whole daddy thing, I am not complaining about it. I have personally benefited from it. But not one gay man I know, young or old, would send whole pics to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That man is thoroughly resistible to gay men, but apparently not to straight women.
So what I'm thinking is that maybe a well-timed intervention, a room filled with newsies, gay besties, just looking at her and slowly shaking their heads and saying, girl, no, over and over again, might have saved her career. The Newsy scandal was just one sex scandal that broke last week. An anti-gay activist was discovered to have appeared in gay porn.
New court filings revealed that Matt Gaetz, not a drag queen, a MAGA congressman from Florida, attended drug-fueled sex parties with a 17-year-old girl. There's the Diddy stuff that I haven't even begun to dive into. And then there was the CNN scoop about Mark Robinson. I talked about him at the top of the show a couple of weeks ago.
He's the family values conservative who doesn't think there should be any exceptions for abortion except one for his wife and who thinks porn should be illegal but spends five nights a week in video booths at the back of porn stores for years and years. Remember that guy? Frank Bruni summed up CNN's report in the New York Times like this.
Turns out Robinson frequented a pornographic website where he called himself a black Nazi, praised slavery, and boasted of various sexual proclivities and quirks. About those quirks, Bret Stephens, also writing the New York Times, said, I don't even know if we're allowed to discuss them in a family newspaper.
