Disgraced GOP Rep. Aaron Schock Snapped Chatting Poolside With Speedo-Clad Mystery Man

Everyone's "favorite" Republican closet case made a new friend at the Standard Hotel pool in West Hollywood.

Standard Pose

   I've been staying at the Standard Hotel, Hollywood, at least once a year since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when my friend Jay and I went on our already planned vacation. In addition to the fun rooms, great pool and ping-pong tables, the 24/7 Restaurant is one of the major draws, where it's nearly impossible to pick just one thing off the menu.

Postcard From West Hollywood

Spent five nice days in Arizona with my parents -- Gary's nearly back to normal, Mom's come a long way but still has a long road ahead despite showing signs of her former self (see below) -- and am now enjoying a werkend of R&R at my favorite hotel in Los Angeles, The Standard, Hollywood. Went to Akbar last night with old friends -- it's like the West Coast East Village! -- and now we are inching our way into full Pride mode.

Just call me Kenneth in the 213/323/310!
