Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke (D) on Monday apologized for writing a review of a Broadway musical in 1991 that detailed the actresses’ “phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks.”
Politico on Monday resurfaced the review O’Rourke wrote when he was 19 years old for the Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper.
The review from the Oct. 10, 1991 edition of the paper was written under the byline Robert O’Rourke and offers a sharp critique of the musical “The Will Rogers Follies.”
O’Rourke criticized the “perma-smile actresses whose only qualifications seem to be their phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks.”
He wrote that the entire performance was “one of the most glaring examples of the sickening excesses and moral degradations of our culture.”
O'Rourke said the show was “produced and directed in such a showy, glitzy, and ultimately, tacky manner, that one cannot help feeling disgusted throughout the show.”
The musical went on to win six Tony Awards, Politico noted.
O’Rourke issued an apology to Politico on Monday after the story was published.
"I am ashamed of what I wrote and I apologize. There is no excuse for making disrespectful and demeaning comments about women," he said after the story published.
Politico was first notified O’Rourke’s review by an opponent of his Senate campaign against incumbent Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Hmmm.
Someone in the know is digging up a lot of old dirt on certain democrats.
I wonder who it is?....
So Beto is gay, then?
I mean, to be upset by “their phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks” — hey! A lot of actresses have had *great* careers based on those things!
Goodness gracious. I apologise for once ogling a woman’s breast in public. In my defence though I was 3 months old and she was my breast feeding mother. I know it’s no excuse as I now offer you my neck for my beheading!
After seeing that pic I think “Beta” O’Rourke would be a more appropriate name.
He is beta for sure. A soiboy of the first order.
We certainly have come a long way since Bill Clinton’s trists made his polls go up.
reap what you sow
reap what you sow
reap what you sow
And the left will let him off the hook. Hypocrites.
That was before he assumed his Fake Mexican name.
**********
He was called “Beto” as a child. That isn’t something recent.
Fake Mexicans, Fake Indians, Fake Blacks (that white gal that self identifies as black)..Fake everything.
It’s actually hilarious. What a Freakshow the LEFT has become. How can anyone take the LEFT serious anymore? Freaks!
yeah well, sorry, fakeBeto
your party just set a standard of puritanical behavior for life - and you championed it! therefore...
you must step out of the race immediately
apologies just aren’t enough for the hashtag me lied crowd
seeya
What part of “Broadway musical” is giving you trouble?
He was probably right about the show. Why is he apologizing?
So he says.
Fake breasts are ugly.
Better small and real than big and fake.
Haha. When I was a freshman in college in the early 80s two of my classmates wrote a letter to editor of the school newspaper publicly thanking the freshmen women for getting tan and losing weight over Spring Break. There were no (negative) reprecussions. People had a sense of humor back then or at least knew how to lighten up.
D’OH! Yea, I’m slow today.
Yeah, I listened to the first debate on the radio. I thought he did a better job in contemporary delivery than did Cruz, whose style is quite dated. But the imbecility of it, the utterly vapid nothingness that is the baizuo hivemind left him with literal nonsense to say.
Beetle will crunch nicely on election day.
