Porn Free (Matt Sanchez)
From today's Salon

Porn free

Left-wing blogs gleefully outed my gay porn past after I criticized antiwar zealots. But the truth has set me free.

By Matt Sanchez

March 8, 2007 | Was I totally clueless? When I stepped forward in late 2005 to talk about anti-military attitudes at New York's Columbia University, I knew my past might be put under the microscope. We hear it every day; in the age of Google, when any stray personal factoid may be lodged somewhere on the Internet, it's impossible to have privacy. We have all done things we don't want advertised, and many of us may have identities we've outgrown, but the truth is, most of us haven't strayed far enough from the run-of-the-mill to rate more than a bit of whispered gossip from a snubbed co-worker. There are others of us, however, like me, who have the kinds of résumés that can keep everybody around the office water cooler smirking for days.

Let me back up a second, because most of you don't have a clue what I'm talking about. In September 2005, I wrote a column for the campus newspaper that blasted the anti-military bias among my fellow students at Columbia University. In addition to being an American studies major at Columbia, I am a Marine Corps reservist, and my comrades in arms were proud of me once that column had turned into appearances on "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity & Colmes" and an opinion piece for the New York Post. None of those media outlets knew who I had been before I was a Marine, an Ivy Leaguer and an outspoken defender of the military....


seriously, if you have access to Salon, I suggest reading the rest, it's a little whiney, but an interesting piece, none the less.

2. Is that Matt "Dirty" Sanchez?
Isn't he married to Rusty Tromboner?

3. What an incredible cesspool of narcissism
It's his world, we're just living in it.

The entire article is about him and how he is misunderstood.

I thought right wingers valued self-independence instead of self-pity. This guy is pathetic, a poster boy for victimhood.

How could he not know this would come up the minute he started schmoozing with the CPACers?
