Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt, III: Is he a sistah?

He's Teddy Roosevelt's great-great grandson, and he's really cute. Is he gay?

https%3A//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Roosevelt_III



• He wrote this opinion piece on same sex marriage last year:

• I found his FB page. He's holding a little girl in his profile pic, but he totally has gay face. He's also a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also among his "liked" pages are New York Estate Jewelry and Real Housewives of Hinsdale. The rest of it looks like boring law stuff.

• I doubt he's gay. Look at his hair and baggy shirt.

• Know him; doubt it.

• R4, tell us more. How do you know him? I've found some other pics of him, and the gay face is unmistakable.

• His faculty page:

• I know two other great-grand-children, they speak highly of him.

• I think he may be straight too. It's funny how often you can have these sexual orientation 'bizarro' pairs, though - he's the straight Steve Kornacki (or Steve is the gay Kermit Roosevelt).

• Who cares if he's got gay? With a name like Kermit, he's probably just relieved not to have greenface.

• Erm, that was supposed to read "gayface". I wish there were a preview function!

• Would you guys say he has BDF?

• since when could "sistah" refer to a 'mo instead of only a black woman?

• Since always, 'mo troll.

• What about FDR's descendants? Any known sistahs on that side of the Roosevelt tree?

• Still very funny ("LOL") r9!!!!

• [quote]he's really cute And you're really blind.

• I found a YT video of him debating gay marriage. I'm detecting a lisp. Gay voice? And R16, he's fucking adorable. Cuter than Nate Silver, who is also adorable.

• The guy in the pic at OP's link is NOT "adorable".

• Whatever. I certainly wouldn't kick him out of bed.

• He speaks 42 minutes into this long-ass roundtable about Justice John Paul Stevens. He appears to be wearing a wedding ring, but he still seems kinda fey. I want to eat him up.

• Now that I've seen more of him, I'd say he's got definite BDF. And everyone knows Teddy carried a big stick.

• Oooh, he wrote a novel! It's called In the Shadow of the Law. I wonder if it's any good?

• Apparently he plays something called squash, which is a game vaguely resembling racquet ball. Wikipedia says it's been described as "jet-propelled chess." He may or may not be gay, but I think at this point we can definitely classify him as a huge dork.

• Here's his Amazon author page. Another adorkable photo.

• Bump for more hot Kermit Roosevelt gossip.

• Definitely has the adorkability thing going. I like this quote from the NYT article about FDR and Eleanor's descendents: [quote] "One thing I learned on my father's knee is when you get to a point in life where you've worked hard and gotten yours, we have an absolute obligation to help somebody else get theirs," he said.

• Kermit is a decsendant of Teddy Roosevelt, not FDR.

• R27, but FDR was a much removed cousin of Teddy; also, Eleanor was Teddy's niece.

• Seriously, y'all. After looking at the other pics and video clips I posted, what do you think? Gay? BDF? What's the verdict?

• Well?

• I listen to the voice on the debate video.....gay, gay, gay!!!!

• Bump for more hot Roosevelt discussion.

• I'm the biggest geek/nerd/dork fan out there, but for some reason I'm not hot over him. He reminds of a cross between the porn actor Seth Dickens and James Spader. The tone of the article leads me to believe he's straight.

• Massive pussyhound. Big Bullmoose party supporter.

• It may be privileged elite snob accent. His law review articles are very mainstream - nothing avant garde about them, and nothing about civil rights or sexual issues. I'm sure he had some guy sex at his private high school, but he's worked the cute thing and his pedigree to get into some great situations.

• definitely cute; quite doable (in my mind), and, yes, BDF.

• Damn, Teddy had some strong genes. Four generations later, and Kermit has his features.
