Burning with the velocity of a prairie fire on a gusty Indiana day, Pete Buttigieg scorched the airwaves, seared the podcasts, and charred the press this week as he ignited his presidential campaign, temporarily torching his Democratic competition in the process. The secret to Buttigieg’s publicity run was no secret, wrote Matthew Yglesias in Vox. Like Molly Bloom in his favorite novel, Ulysses, he can’t stop saying “yes”—to media invitations.(Snip)Was it only weeks ago that the press began swooning for O’Rourke like a drunken conventioneer, writing about him with the same frequency it does for Buttigieg today?

They may be jubilant that they found a gay person like him as a potential candidate, but I am sure they are crying inside that he is white and a male.

All he has to do is state that he identifies as a crippled, black woman who, none the less, might be non-binary.

It is a bit gratifying that Roberto O´Rourquez is now showing up in the press as O´Rourke rather than BETO.
In Texas we call him a post turtle (web search it) and Sneaky Pete is one too.

Peter the Homosexual does not impress me. He runs a failing city,with a fresh scandal at hand, and while the press like him, I don´t.

If I didn´t know better, I´d think this all was a Monty Python sketch.

Some media hype is so old that children quote it (i.e., if it bleeds, it leads). This time it is ´´better the queer you don´t know than the faux bro you do know.´´ Time to go back to Robert Hall´s and grab another Empty Suit.

Maybe media and democraps aren´t as dumb as they´re acting.
I mean really; a wormy little white-as-ivory gay guy named Peter Butt-whatever is given serious attention as a presidential candidate?
Really? Who in their right mind does this?
Two first ladies in the White House? Wasn´t mister and mister stinky bad enough?
There must be some type of method to this madness, and the only thing I can think of is they´re seeding the race with a ton of freaks sissies and morons in order to set the stage for a so-called "moderate" to rise up like some kind of tin-horn savior.
It must be that. It has to be. Otherwise they really are bat-crap crazy

Maybe Captain Skateboard was too narcissistic even for the media? Mayor Buttabing has one thing going for him that Beto didn´t. He is openly attacking Christians and their faith. To the leftist unGodly media, that always plays very well. Plus he doesn´t have that weird twitching like Beto has. Beto is creepy, and there is no getting around that.
Makes me wonder what the media dug up. Has to be something really unpalatable, even for them.

I really feel sorry for Beto. He now has to divorce his rich wife in order to find a rich husband. Not doing so means that he will continue to be shunned by the DNC’s wholly owned news and entertainment subsidiaries because he is now a toxic male enjoying white privilege. Until Beto comes out of the closet that he was never in and kisses his male soul mate, he won’t get a bit of coverage. The media have standards, and skate boards are no longer cool.

#9, Buttigieg attacks Christians about their beliefs about Muslims, but says nothing about Islamic countries which are executing homosexuals and throwing them off rooftops.

Gay is more trendy than fake-Hispanic in the hierarchy of special interest groups.

Mayor B. "aggressively tame" good one! Well written and enjoyable.
A couple of three things in Mr. B´s favor:
1. he does not stand on tables or other platforms (other than a dais) elevating himself above his audience, or gesticulate frenetically, or speak hoarsely and breathlessly (like O´Rourke who seems to be being pursued by nightmares --like hounds of hell-- of his sinister, murderous imaginations of driving over children?)
2. he plays Classical piano.
However, the fact is, most people don´t give a fig about Classical music; the glitterati will swoon, but there aren´t enough of them to elect Mr. B.
3. he speaks Swedish (and French) but apparently not Spanish.
4. he uses multisyllabic words; he could tangle Trump in a maze of erudition (although i bet POTUS would emerge from the maze while Mr. B. would not)
I think the media will find the man to be rather boring, in the end.

It is all a mute point!!!
Right now, all white males are the enemy in the eyes of the ruling lie-beral elites. If a white male tries to get power, he must be destroyed. It doesn´t matter if he is a conservative or as lie-beral as you can get. His DNA and skin color make him their enemy.
When Creepy Uncle Joe Biden was at the top of most polls for the Demon-Rat nomination for 2020, they "Kavanaughed" him. Beto-the-faux-Mexican was rising in the polls, so they told their minions in the MSM to start posting all of his stupid quotes and to ignore him as much as possible. Butt-boy gets a pass, but if rises too much, his white maleness will overrule his sodomite exemption, and he will be destroyed too. And I guarantee you that they are ready to pounce on Commie Bernie at any time.
They honestly believe that they can beat Trump with any of their candidates, so they will destroy any of the ones that don´t pass their approval.
Sit back and enjoy the show. There is nothing more fun than watching lie-berals eat their own!!!

Why?
More media identify with the homo than the metro.

How do you pronounce Mayor Pete´s name? It looks like butt-kick, which also sounds appropriate.

Is it any surprise that a gay guy is the media darling of Ellen, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Shepard Smith, Rachel Maddow, Donna Brazile, Robin Roberts, and all their producer friends?

The obvious question of course is what is the media doing choosing a candidate to laud? Mayor Pete looks like a Keebler elf, doncha think?
