You missed the confession of the male hooker a few years back? Some crackhead redneck guy, basically. Google it up, it's worth a minute of your time to stare at what tried so hard to be a train wreck, but just couldn't qualify.

He came out in support of gay marriage therefor he is clearly a gay man. There are seriously human beings on this planet that are so devoid of empathy and compassion to the point where they actually believe that.

It is teenage boy logic. 'Better not sympathize/defend gay people or people will think I'm gay!' It is a personal insecurity that has enabled years of anti-Queer behavior.

He also claimed that he smoked crack with Dan Quayle way back in 1988. The guy is a deeply weird hanger-on and crackhead who roosts at the fringes of Washington politics. The only people who believe his crap are people who want to believe it.

Y'know, we've had plenty of Oval Office occupants who have admitted to or are well known to have done drugs in their misspent youth. It's time for some feigned shock and outrage over a male presidential aspirant who will cop to having fooled around with a dude that one time. "When I was in college, I kissed guys a time or two, and I didn't like it. There was no tongue and never tried it again."

Have we talked about Bachmann, King, and Gohmert going to Cairo last weekend and giving a televised speech that will make you cringe?quote:"I want to assure the people of Egypt that I, as a member of Congress, will stand strong in support of continuing military support, United States support financially, to stand for the military in Egypt," she said. "We know that you have been a partner. You've been a partner in the war on terrorism. You've acted bravely here on the front lines." She is clearly going into Egypt and telling them that the Muslim Brotherhood "did nine-one-one." I expected this to get more coverage but maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

I didn't notice anything posted about Gretchen leaving FoxNews' morning show. http://editors.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2013/09/end_of_an_era_2.php?ref=fpblg I'm curious to see where she goes after this. She doesn't seem like someone that would go on to do radio, or anything like that. edit Hmm... after reading her wiki page, she's a Sociology major that was Miss America in 1989. How fitting for a TV news personality. Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Sep 15, 2013 |

I'm sure Steve Doocy and Unfrozen Caveman News Anchor had lots of questions. Did Roger Ailes come down, stroke their hair while comforting them, and tell them she went to a farm upstate with all the other Fox News hosts where she can run around and play all day?

There's lots of extraordinarily stupid people with academic credentials. Not to disparage academia as a whole, but yeah - an idiot with a degree is still an idiot. After all, we see highly qualified people behaving like infantile children all the time.

While I disagree with her on pretty much everything, she can make an intelligent argument and otherwise show her education when she wants, but I guess it pays better to put on the dumb blonde routine. I'm a sociology major as well and it pisses me off when people who studied it can shill for views entirely contrary to most everything argued by it. She's probably a filthy functionalist.
