Puerto Rican Sen. Roberto Arango Neither Confirms Nor Denies Posting Nude Photos of Himself on Gay Site Grindr

Puerto Rican lawmaker Roberto Arango won't confirm or deny nude photos posted on gay site Grindr are of him, another lawmaker with too much free time on his hands.

When will lawmakers with a penchant for snapping pictures of themselves realize they will literally torpedo their political careers by posting "questionable" pictures online? Enter Puerto Rican Sen. Roberto Arango, whose alleged nude photographs appeared on the gay meet-up site Grindr and were exposed last week? Why? Why? Why?

According to Hispanic gossip site Guanabee, a Puerto Rican TV station first aired the pictures last Friday, supposedly downloaded from the popular cruising app.

One photo thought to be of Arango depicts a bare-chested man posing in front of a mirror, using his cell phone to take the picture. Can you say Reps. Anthony Weiner and Christopher Lee?

Another photograph is a direct shot of Arango bending over, exposing his rear end. Arango is either stupid or bold because when asked he neither confirmed nor denied they were his, instead said:

“You know I’ve been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I’ve been taking pictures. I don‘t remember taking this particular picture but I’m not gonna say I didn’t take it. I‘d tell you if I remembered taking the picture but I don’t.”

Really? Of your butt? Wow. I guess he has too much free time on his hands. Um, why not do the business of the people of Puerto Rico instead of showing them your butt? The Republicans are uncharacteristically silent on this one, since he's one of them.

UPDATE: According to Fox News, Senator Roberto Arango has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on an iPhone application for gays and bisexuals, the head of Puerto Rico's Senate announced Sunday.
