    This rumor has long been going around Illinois political circles on both sides of the aisle. However, Gawker you should not out people like this. It is unethical. I do not care if you do not agree with his policies (I sure as hell don't) but this is his personal life.

    And yes, I do see it as hypocritical for him to be a member of a party that doesn't think he deserves any rights but still doesn't make it okay to out someone.

      Can you point to the passage where we “outed” anyone?

      Pretty sure this is just called reporting.

      Also, they shouldn't be as wide as the JNCO jeans I was wearing in 1998.

    Alright....I know this guy may be guilty of sexual harassment towards this Michalowski guy. But for the other guy...am I the only one who doesn't think it's that weird to share a room? Don't a lot of politicians live together when on the hill?

      The other guy isn't a politician though, he's a staffer for him. Bunking with your boss is a little weird no matter how you arrange it.

      Perhaps, but probably not in the same room.

    While I've never shared a room with a boss, I have shared a room with a workmate. It didn't help that we had previously been in a twin room and were bumped to a double after our B&B (York, UK) had some double booking issues. And we were both accustomed to sleeping nekkid. Everything would have been fine if we hadn't woken up spooning each other. Thankfully that was the last night of our stay, so we didn't have to deal with any awkwardness the following night.

      Hey, at least you both were comfortable. While you were asleep.

      What we couldn't figure out is how we ended up in "cuddle mode" in the morning, despite starting the night at opposite ends of the bed.

        Nothing wrong with saving the taxpayers' money. I've always thought it's cool that my neighbor lets that other guy live with him so they don't both have to pay for houses.

          Sharing showers is super frugal, too!

        Who would ever want to get in these pants? They're. So. Awful. "Worst job," indeed.
