This is obviously before he got married."

Is it, though?

But what’s not obvious is whether Gaetz’s alleged E.D. binges took place at the GOP coke-‘n’-orgy parties that disgraced Rep. Madison Cawthorne famously described.

There’s a good chance the GOP establishment is pissed off enough at Gaetz to try to give him the Cawthorne treatment. However, this lost member of Biff Tannen’s entourage seems to dodge trouble every time. And his voters seem to like his sliminess.

The congressman from Florida is a Florida Man in every sense of the word.

I think the fact that it was Markwayne Mullin who tossed this allegation out there proves both of your points. The GOP establishment does want to try to Cawthorn him, but they aren’t sure it’s going to work, so they’re using a junior member who is desperate to be a part of the GOP establishment to do their dirty work. This way, if it works, great, and if it doesn’t, the only loss is a nobody from Oklahoma who’s easily replaced.

Red Bull and Viagra sounds like a less-than-heart-healthy combo.

Not knowing how those medications work, is this even plausible? It sounds like it could be the equivalent of acting like an aspirin would get you wired, or that snorting statins would be hallucinogenic.

A quick Google suggests that crushing the pills would have no effect on efficacy or timing. Given that we’re talking about a Florida Man and MAGAt, I wouldn’t be surprised if the crushing thing was just force of habit from when he snorts Oxy.

It would probably make your drink taste horrible - but this is Gaetz: he has no taste.

He needed erectile dysfunction drugs as a young man? Young guys pop a boner just looking at some curvy furniture.

Softies are a thing with cocaine addicts.

Doing other drugs, prescription or otherwise, could definitely cancel out the youth factor. Or he didn’t really need it, but it was some performative, alpha-dog-bro b.s., like “All the ladies want me, so I have to snort some V to keep up, yo!”

I doubt Gaetz suddenly turned Bluebeard, and hid all his stuff away in the one room that his wife must never open, with this key here. No, the other one. Yes, that one.

Tragically enough, notoriety like this is EXACTLY what will probably get him elected Speaker of the House.
