Keep Your Pocket Change, Jonathan Crutchley


Queerty has something new on the Jonathan Crutchley's donation mess. It is now said that McCain doesn't want his money and will give it back to Crutchley.

Now the Crutch wants to support Obama.

McCain spokesman Jeff Grappone didn’t return multiple phone calls on the subject, and Crutchley has apparently been informed that his $2,300 will be returned.

“He said, ‘If John is too good for my money, I’ll give it to (presumptive Democratic nominee) Barack (Obama),’ ” Basile said yesterday.

Crutchley, who originally defended his donation in an online post, did not return a call for comment.

Crutchley has since written a “touching” letter to the employees at Manhunt, according to Basile, and is now committed to supporting Obama.

“Someone had a reality check,” Basile said.

Basile, who described himself as a “staunch Democrat,” said Crutchley has given the maximum amount to Obama. The Manhunt co-founder said he wouldn’t be surprised, considering the subject matter of the Web site, if Obama returns the $2,300 as well.

“Barack can’t endorse this kind of adult content. It’s sort of like a third rail,” Basile said. “I would imagine if it’s tough for one, it’s tough for the other.


Well, he is a day late and a dollar short. Maybe next time, he'll get it together.

McBush and company haven't a clue who's giving them money. They would have kept the money from ManHunt if there hadn't been a stink raised about it.
