WHAT was that butt itch thing all about? It wasn't just a little surreptitious 
"maybe no one will notice"  scratch. He was actually fondling his own 
butt--both sides. I thought maybe the online video had been concocted, but I 
saw a replay with my own eyes last night on Home Box Office itself, and there 
Sullivan was--fondling his own butt for a protracted length of time! Strange.
Question: Did he advocate "bareback" after the AIDS epidemic came to light? If 
so, that is unconscionable. In fact, I cannot think of words lowly enough to 
describe such an advocacy.
