So Cory Booker is dating someone, and it’s not an imaginary dope-pusher named T-Bone. The noted bachelor, New Jersey Senator, 2020 primary candidate, moose impersonator, and sword-and-sandals fancier is apparently “very much’ in a relationship with actress Rosario Dawson.
I’m sure the affair rivals history’s great romances and was not at all focus-grouped in Brooklyn. Booker just happens to be drawn to a gal who has everything a primary contender could want in a year when success in his party means “out-woking” the other guy.
Dawson’s activist resume would make her quite a catch on IntersectionalDating.com:
-
Name an issue, she comes down on the “correct” side. She’s a pro-abortion absolutist who’s done work for Planned Parenthood-affiliated groups. Obama recruited her to help sell his health care takeover. She’s a long-time backer of gay marriage, is pro-amnesty, pro-gun control.
-
She has real progressive credentials. In 2016 Dawson played herself playing an investigative journalist in an episode of America Divided, a left-wing documentary series about sobering up after consuming too much hope and change. Her “Something in the Water” was about the Flint Water Crisis.
-
She backed Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary, when she earned the ire of the party and media establishment by publically uttering the name Monica Lewinski in public.
-
A Keystone Pipeline protester from way back, Dawson’s a fossil fuel foe, but believes “hemp-oil” could be the key to meeting our energy needs. (Secretary of Energy T-Bone?)
-
She’s a combat veteran of the War on Women -- women’s side, of course. (Remember the War on Women? Good times.) Dawson Co-founded Voto Latino, one of those wink-wink “nonpartisan” voter registration groups that featured an “Undocu-Bus” that would roll up to Catholic colleges and berate Catholics for being Catholic.

She’s a genius on Twitter. Here she is after the Orlando nightclub terror attack:
And what’s it like dating Spartacus? “So far, so wonderful,” Dawson dished to TMZ. “He's a wonderful human being. It's good to spend some time together when we can. We're very busy.”
Indeed, a social justice warrior’s job is never done. And the senator never knows when he’ll be called upon to kneel on a darkened stree twhile a fictional gangbanger bleeds out in his arms. (T-Bird and C-Note and B-becue and A-Frame -- they’re all at risk of being sacrificed in a speech this campaign season.) But love will find a way.
Yes, Rosario Dawson sounds like she was assembled out of signs found in Moveon.org’s storeroom, but she’s a real person. For Cory Booker, that’s a step up. Here’s wishing those two crazy kids the best!
