At long last, after much fanfare and hype, here it is: Wonkette’s exclusive interview with Tom Malin, the gay escort turned Texas state legislature candidate!

We apologize for the delay in bringing this to you. We meant to publish it yesterday, when it took place. But as you can see, we were otherwise occupied into the afternoon and evening on Thursday — covering the breaking news of Jessica Simpson’s visit to the Capitol, among other things. (Rumor has it that she was at the Point last night; can anyone confirm?)

Here are a few highlights from the interview — Tom Malin’s views on selected subjects:

* Rep. Katherine Harris: “Oh my GOSH. Did you see her TITS? She is a total BABE!”
* Republicans: “Republicans would have gays and lesbians in concentration camps if they could. I think they would close down public education. I think women and minorities would be so marginalized.”
* Condoleeza Rice: “She is balanced and fair. I believe she is compassionate. I wouldn’t want to meet her in a dark alley though. She is tough!”
* Jeff Gannon: “Everyone has seen my naked ass. Would love to see his.”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; there’s much, much more, after the jump. Not to be missed: professional make-up tips from Malin, a former Mary Kay Cosmetics salesman, to Hillary!

So — big Iraq speech, poll numbers still plummeting, ‘06 and ‘08 campaigns starting to heat up, it’s shaping up to be a pretty big week. In a boring, exactly-like-the-last-few-weeks sense. Meanwhile, over on craigslist, real human drama continues to be played out daily:

Answers to her dilemma are welcome, of course (we’re gonna toss out a “no, probably not,” but we’re no Carolyn Hax, so you needn’t listen to us), but, obviously, we’re more interested in her job. All right, people, whose office has the pregnancy-faking crazy chick? MORE »
