The Web page touts the "hot uninhibited" services of a male escort identified as Todd Sharpe, displaying a blurry beefcake photo and listing a Dallas phone number.

But the number belongs to a salesman and former actor named Tom Malin, a Dallas Democrat who is seeking election to the Texas House.

Mr. Malin acknowledged Thursday that he once worked as a prostitute.

Candidate Malin

 

[iPod Shuffle]

Wow, a politician who really is a prostitute.

[Modok]

Since he is a democrat politician this is nothing more than normal career progression and growth.

Looks like a sissy boy to me.

Looks like a sissy boy to me.

"His rates ranged from $200 to $600, according to graphically detailed reviews from men whom the pages described as satisfied customers."

[The Duke]

To paraphrase Bobby from "King of the Hill" - "Sometimes I worry that I may be a slut."

[iPod Shuffle]

I wonder if Jeff Gannon is among his satisfied customers.

(Ducking out of the way).

[onyx]

Oh yeah, I read the article. I was just remarking that he truly "looks" gay...lol.

[peyton randolph]

I wonder if Jeff Gannon is among his satisfied customers.

My bet would be on David Brock and Sid Blumenthal.

From the article:

All the "Todd Sharpe" Web sites are now defunct. The Dallas Morning News found archived versions online after receiving a tip this week that Mr. Malin might have worked in the sex industry.

The tipster, a fellow gay Democrat who knew the candidate, said he had heard rumors about Mr. Malin's past but had no direct knowledge. He said he feared that if Mr. Malin won a primary race next month and the rumors turned out to be true, their political party would be embarrassed. The tipster asked not to be identified because he didn't want to be dragged into a political fight.

Well, at least the Dallas Morning News gave the political leanings of their anonymous source - unlike the Washington Post in the MD4Bush saga.

[Bon mots]

Like the Dems said about Clintoon... this is his private life! Has nothing to do with his office.

>>PUKE <<

[peyton randolph]

I was just remarking that he truly "looks" gay.

Yeah. He had the gaydar pinging...not to be confused with blackdar.

This is looking like Gannon redux except this guy is flat out ugly.

If your going to claim to be a gay prostitute you should at least have something to offer other than a cell phone number,

Dude your overweight and you have complexion issues. You couldn't attract bees with a pot load of honey.

Retire now while you still have some dignity.

Which homosexual are you referring to? Malin or Hillary?

[griffin]

Kinda looks like the 'Breck' boy, no? Cousin perhaps?

Maybe they just bit the same pillow.

[beaver fever]

I think this story is phoney.

Gannon was outed and disappeared but this guy is claiming to be a gay prostitute, yet he is too ugly to be a seller.

He's a buyer if he's gay at all. This story smells to high heaven.

Someone paid him off. This is Internet disinformation. The guy couldn't attract flies with a pot full of honey.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

So will KOS and Americablog's John Avarosis go after this guy with both barrels like they did with Jeff Gannon (Guckert)? Or does that only apply to Republicans?

[onyx]

LOL --- I thought for sure he'd mention Wolfman Jack. He fooled a whole lot of people.

"So will KOS and Americablog's John Avarosis go after this guy with both barrels like they did with Jeff Gannon (Guckert)? Or does that only apply to Republicans?"

He's just some guy "seeking election to the Texas House" not a White House insider.
