Robert George tells all (On Twitter!): Gay sex, Hugh Hefner, and more

Princeton’s very own Robert George has a very active Twitter feed (handle @McCormickProf), which I find to be very entertaining.The genius political theorist, who argues that the constitutional separation of church and state does not apply to the 50 states, has set his cover photo as a perfectly-framed snapshot of him bro-hugging Cornel West. (Frankly, I wish I had a picture like that.)I took Professor George’s class, Civil Liberties, last semester, and I clearly remember his three-piece suits and the elevated diction he would use when describing the philosophical basis for what Jefferson called “certain unalienable rights.” Sometimes, he decides to use a different register, more appropriate for the internet:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/906237486539706370Like any natural Twitter user, George likes to have some fun with the crowd:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/911224448476381185I also learned recently that Professor George reads Jezebel, a blog with the tagline “Celebrity, Sex, Fashion for Women. Without Airbrushing”:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/911295072511160320Professor George, who is known for railing against gay marriage, tweeted about a very NSFW article that provides excruciating details of orgiastic sodomy.(I asked the author of the Jezebel article, Rich Juzwiak, what he would say to Professor George’s question, and he said that he “would respond no.”)Professor George showed an interest recently in Hugh Hefner, soon after the silk-clad nonagenarian’s death:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/913371650049167360Less than an hour later, Professor George apparently decided that enough time had passed:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/913384594677825536A share of George’s Tweets over the next few days were dedicated to the guy Professor George called “the dirty old man to beat all dirty old men,” ending with this thread about abortion, birth control, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg:https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/914116092884381696Until I reviewed Professor George’s Twitter feed for this article, I knew absolutely nothing about the New York sodomy scene and the connection between the great RBG and Hugh Hefner. Frankly, I now want to see Professor George teach a class about his sexual morals—I would do the reading.Professor George did not respond to a phone call requesting a comment for this article.
