Jonathan Crutchley's fallout from the McCain donation of $2300 has caused a tumultuous weekend for him.
Manhunt memberships cancellations, Crutchley doing a 180 and giving the $2300 to Obama, and his resignation of the Online Buddies board.
Mike Signorile pontificates:
Crutchley is just trying to keep the obviously outraged membership of his site -- which I'm sure he's still making millions from though he resigned as "chairman" -- from bolting further. And don't you love how co-owner Larry Basile is professing shock over Crutchley's donation? ("Boy, was I embarrassed when I found out he gave $2,300," he told the Boston Herald.) As if he and the other principles didn't know they'd made a Republican -- who is obviously outspoken and finds it an "insult" to be called a liberal -- as their chairman!
Right. Are we really to believe that Basile, when he went into business with Crutchley years ago, had no idea he was hooking up with a homocon? Surely he's much better at due diligence than that. I know, as I was an editor and columnist at the very lefty, short-lived but influential OutWeek magazine in the early 90s, where, as Basile now touts, Basile was treasurer (and part owner.) One thing I know about Basile is that he's a shrewd, smart businessman who knows everything that's going on with everyone.
