Gawker: Dan Savage

Hey Dan Savage, Quit Making Trouble!

The Stranger editor and sex guy Dan Savage thinks that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is a big fat liar. While recounting a 1996 visit to Bosnia to a crowd at George Washington University the other day, Clinton recalled, "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ram with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." But Savage insists the following photo is proof of her guile.

Under the banner "Lies and Lying Liars," Savage muses, "I suppose that little girl's face could be booby trapped." See what he did there?

On the one hand, is it possible that a snap shot and a caption do not necessarily constitute a "Greeting ceremony"? On the other hand, we already know that ladies have fuzzy memories and make bad historians. So shut it, Dan-o.[The Stranger]

Salon Publishes Ravings Of Wrong Dan Savage

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Salon recently asked "some of [their] favorite experts and opinion makers" who they were supporting in the Presidential election. One of the respondents was Dan Savage—his response is reprinted above. It had to be screengrabbed because Salon took down his answer once they realized they'd emailed this Dan Savage and not this Dan Savage. Designer Dan Savage even included his URL in his response, figuring they'd catch on. Not until they ran it last night, falsely attributed! We kinda love that Salon would just run this nonsense as long as it was from the right Dan Savage.

Michael Musto Mourns The Culture Of Rear Entry

Choire — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:43:18 EDT

Gossip maven Michael Musto has figured out what's wrong with New York City. It seems that no gay dudes like to get it in the rear any more. This week, he writes: "The weird news in gay land is that no one's a bottom anymore....Tragically enough, a whole generation of bottoms passed on some time ago, and then came a whole new generation that learned from day one that being a wide-end receiver is risky, so they've always been testy and squeamish about it." While it is true that Confessions of a Bareback Top has been notably quiet lately, a quick perusal of Craigslist and Manhunt suggests otherwise to this thesis. However! This week's Dan Savage indicates that getting popped in the butt is solely a heterosexual activity now. Typical. Straight people will co-opt anything. Even kinda embarrassing and maybe conceptually dubious gladiator-ey sex practices.

Seattle sucks

"Seattle sucks. New York and Chicago are real cities. Seattle is Dubuque, Iowa, putting on airs. People here think Seattle is Paris... it ain't. I've been to Paris, and this place isn't Paris." (Seattle sex columnist Dan Savage in an interview with Claire Zulkey of Zulkey.com)
