Nolte: NY Times Swoons After Mr. and Mrs. Bill de Blasio Come Out as Swingers

What’s more, the de Blasios are allowed to get away with blaming this decision to swing on the coronavirus and his ill-fated presidential run. Yes, this decision to tomcat around obviously has nothing to do with the fact that the 62-year-old former mayor is now dying his hair jet black. Yep, no mid-life crisis there. And this certainly couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Mrs. De Blasio is a lesbian:

Asked what she was seeking from this new formulation, she suggested that she might enjoy the non-glow of being with a non-public figure.

“I just want to have fun,” she said, adding, as Mr. de Blasio turned to her, “It’s not that we haven’t had fun.”

…

“For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian,’” Mr. de Blasio said, “there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you’re going to regret later on?’ So I always lived with that stuff.”

“Last year,” continues the Times, de Blasio “looked in the mirror and did not feel like himself.” So the toxic narcissist dyed his gray hair black. “I never anticipated ever doing anything with hair color,” he told the Times. Then the Times goes on to describe his “now strikingly dark close-crop” hair.

The Times assures us, “They are both happier now than they have been in some time, they said, taking care to project a practiced warmth inside their kitchen[.]” “At one point,” we’re told, “Mr. de Blasio at one point wiped something from her face.”

We know it wasn’t shame.

For their new swinging lives, there are rules about “what’s cool, and what’s not cool, and whatever else,” de Blasio explained, adding, “One of the things we’re saying to the world is we don’t need to possess each other… Labels put people in boxes, and those boxes are shaped like coffins.”

What is the “label” here? Is “being true to your marriage vows and not being a ho” a label now?

The article closes with this idyllic description: “Mr. de Blasio hummed a bit from his chair. Ms. McCray danced behind him, gazing ahead.”

By the way, these swingers have two children — way to parent, y’all.

But do you see how good Democrats have it? Two aging has-beens decide to swing, but they can still get the New York Times to write a glowing profile about their utterly destructive serial adultery.

Somewhere Bill Clinton is going, “Why didn’t I think of this?”

Somewhere else, Joe Biden is going, “Where’s my oat bran? Matlock is about to start!”
