In today's "That's WAY Too Much Information" segment, New York Times columnist David Brooks claims that while he was dining with a Republican senator, the guy had his hand on Brooks's inner thigh the whole time.

[chessplayer]

If true, why did`nt Brooks tell the Senator to remove his hand?

[FreepShop1]

Because he LIKED it!

[raybbr]

If true, why not name him?

[cubreporter]

That’s what I said. I dont’ care WHO it is...you DO NOT put up with that kind of perverted nonsense. Makes one wonder if this story is true or not. Sensationalism maybe??

[behzinlea]

Sen. Larry “Wide Stance” Craig?

[Petronski]

Brooks is disappointed it didn't lead to any real action.

[cubreporter]

Also he said: “Ehhh, like get me outta here????” I know what I would have done. This is bogus...put the story out there with no fact to back it up. Then he won’t name the guy? Bogus, bogus, bogus.

[VicVega]

Rumors coming true of Lindsey Graham?

[novemberslady]

Where was david’s hand...

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

they were waiting for Chrissy Matthews to have a tingle

[johncocktoasten]

“If true, why not name him?”

Because we all know that it is the Grahamestinian Lindsey.

[MizSterious]

Similar to the “unnamed sources” ruse. As long as they’re unnamed, they don’t have to be real. Our side should take a stand on this: if they’re not going to name them, WE should not assume they’re telling the truth.

[TexasM1A]

Birds of a feather...

[G Larry]

This is the guy who’s “truth” changes with his politics.
ESPECIALLY when is comes to sexual exploits!

[mass55th]

Pretty talented guy who only uses one hand to complete a full meal. I wonder if he had steak? I’d like to have seen that accomplishment. I think this story is BS. Since when is the NY Times worried about secrecy?

[Carley]

A diversionary tactic to change the subject from O’s ungentlemanly behaviour towards the junior G8 attendee.

[Loyal Buckeye]

This says a lot about Brooks.

[olrtex]

Now that I’ve made myself irrelevant by conforming my views to those of my employer, the NYT, maybe I’ll just jump a shark or two.

[tsmith130]

Why of course...I totally believe that a male US Senator would rest his hand on a male NY Times columnist's leg throughout an entire dinner. Sure, makes perfect sense...

/sarc...just in case

[chessplayer]

“Also he said: “Ehhh, like get me outta here????” I know what I would have done. This is bogus...put the story out there with no fact to back it up. Then he won’t name the guy? Bogus, bogus, bogus.”

Yup. He claims he did`nt like it, but supposedly allowed it to continue for the entire dinner.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“Bogus, bogus, bogus.”

Yes? I’m here. What do you want?

[lonestar]

It says more about David Brooks than it does about an un-named senator.

[Always Right]

If true, why did`nt Brooks tell the Senator to remove his hand?

Maybe he will claim Stockholm Syndrome.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Dave, you’re such a fame slut. Everyone knows it.

[crazyhorse691]

Every metrosexual has a gay story to share...and in true NYSlimes tradition it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.

[fso301]

If true, why did`nt Brooks tell the Senator to remove his hand?

Because he was hoping he'd move it farther up but didn't and now Brooks is having a hissy fit.

[Stosh]

That’s okay, David - when he gets to your breasts, then you can start to worry.

[LS]

Brooksie loved every minute.

[Oldpuppymax]

All of the homosexuals in the democrat party, yet the only perverts we read about are republicans. Now that’s a real coincidence, ain’t it!

[Curious George1978]

Why were two men sitting that close at dinner to begin with...that had to look odd?

Dinner with a Republican Senator or was he just having cool-aid and “coke” in the back of a limo of a certain “former” Democrat Senator from Chicago?

Anyone can say anything...doesn’t mean it has an ounce of truth to it.

Larry Sinclair named names and NO ONE in the MSM mentions it. This lying weasel fabricates an “unbelievable” story from thin air and the MSM are all over it...ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

[freekitty]

More junk to distract from what is really going on.

[9YearLurker]

Almost makes you wonder what he’d let Obama do to him.

[Lancey Howard]

LMAO!!!
“the whole time”??

[irish guard]

Aw who gives a $hit....he's gay, you're gay, everyone's gay in the world today. Can't turn on a tv program or watch a movie without 1 or 2 or 7 gays in the story line. What's the big hairy deal? Let's all glorify and honor all things gay OK?

Well the hell with that, I'm sick and tired of it. I am a raging heterosexual male who still likes a woman. I want some good old fashioned hetero stories out there for those few like me, who are still heterosexual. What are there about 20,000 of us left in America? Boy I'm tired of stories about gays. Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay.....all gay all the time. pfffft....gimme just plain old vanilla stuff ......PLEASE?

[Cicero]

David Brooks, in the running to be the NYT’s longest-running token conservative.

Unbelievable.

[roses of sharon]

Why didn't Brooks knock him out?

Why didn't Brooks remove his hand?

Why didn't Brooks name him when it happened?

Why doesn't Brooks name him now?

Sissy or liar?

Or both?

[trisham]

LOL!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Pretty talented guy who only uses one hand to complete a full meal. I wonder if he had steak? I’d like to have seen that accomplishment.

Did Brooks say WHICH hand? If Brooks was seated on the politician's right, then it had to be the right hand. In such case, we need to list all the LEFT HANDED Senators to find the culprit. s/off

[JENINMO]

Exactly, and furthermore this is he said/he said. Was there a witness to this? Unless he has corroboration, it's just "talk". The right response to this (if even true) would have been, leaning over and whispering, "please remove your hand from my "inner thigh"".

This sounds suspicious, it was probably his dinner napkin, how tedious of this creepy man.

[Jim Noble]

He’s not that cute.

[cubreporter]

What a riot!!! :)

[cubreporter]

Why would anyone do that? I know I wouldn’t put up with it. Neither would a lot of other people I know.

[joejm65]

Exactly. What kind of idiot sits there with someone’s uninvited hand on his inner thigh and says nothing? Good grief...

[piytar]

Bingo! We have a winner!

[piytar]

Um, who is that?

[caddie]

Big deal.

Considering all the pervs in the Senate, it wouldn't even be news if the guy's hand were on the reporter's actual hog.

[Darren McCarty]

The whole time? You didn't punch him out? Well, we know what team you bat for.

Where was Larry Craig that day?

[maggief]

Barney Frank.

[matt1234]

Was it a chicken thigh or a turkey thigh?
