Gavin is a stud

October 16, 2004 -- DEMOCRATS really are more open-minded about sex
than Republicans. Take Kimberly Newsom, attractive Court TV anchor
wife of handsome San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. When her husband
couldn't make it as scheduled to speak at Thursday night's Empire
State Pride Agenda dinner at the Sheraton, the year's biggest gay
rights fund-raiser, Kimberly filled in for him. She was eloquent and
uplifting as she spoke of equality. But she really brought the house
down when she talked about her hunky hubby's anatomy. "I know that
many of you wanted to see my husband and some of you had questions
out there. Is he hot? Yeah. Is he hung? Yeah. Is he [she waved her
hand to suggest bisexual]? Not unless you can give a better [she
mimicked eating a banana] than me. Thank you very much." Then she
left the stage to cheers and applause. Unfazed by the bawdy humor
were Cate Edwards, daughter of John Edwards, Jim McGreevey, Betsy
Gotbaum, Alan Hevesi and a host of other Democratic politicians - and
Mayor Bloomberg.
