Wait, rebounded from “worse” scandals? I know that’s just the stupid headline that the article author probably didn’t choose but let’s look at that, first I’ll note it’s hilarious we are now at the point where we anticipate a possible comeback mere DAYS after the scandal breaks.
Kennedy, killed someone, ok that’s worse, but I agree with Billy, staying Senator for life of MA wasn’t any kinda “rebound”
Newsom, screwed some ‘married’ skank? I didn’t even know that, no one cares.
Sanford? Him cheating on his wife doesn’t even compare to Gillum doing meth and having sex with male prostitutes, possibly bringing AIDS home to his wife. Give me a break. But I would indeed say he rebounded in that he won a competitive election to return to Congress.
Barney Fag, again like Kennedy there was no “rebound” he merely survived at his current level in a safe seat. He wasn’t married or doing meth so his scandal isn’t as bad as Gillum’s.
Marion Barry, ok. Let’s just call that a push, worse drug habit but no rent boys. Now did he “rebound”? I’d say sure, it’s not like he didn’t have competition running for Mayor, it’s the not the same thing as Kennedy and Frank staying in Congress.
So that’s one scandal around the same level where someone “rebounded”.
Could Gillum become Mayor again? Or win a Black Congressional or legislative seat? I think not, the drugs are one thing but Blacks don’t respect homos, apparently an openly gay Black man was elected to state House in PA from Philly, but I’d bet plenty of voters didn’t know, and he’s not a meth head too, nor is he having sex with prostitdudes while pretending to be a family man.
Maybe he could still get hired by CNN 5 years from now if anyone still gives a damn about him which probably isn’t likely, but he won’t hold office again unless he moves to Provincetown MA or something, they might think a Methhead Fag with dark skin is cute and adopt him. Super liberal Whites are the only people that would elect him again.
I’m sure he could make a lot of money writing or speaking about being “on the down low” but that’s only if he comes out of the closet.
Plus, LGB is yesterday’s news.
He needs to get ahead of the curve and get elected as a transgender.
I was going to start reading “War and Peace” but found this ping instead.

I think the James Woods Twitter post said it well.
