- Petraeus didn’t ask ask, and didn’t care. Gen.
David Petraeus, head of Central Command, said yesterday he served
with people who were gay and lesbian, and all he needed to know was if they were
good at their job. “Frankly over time we said, ‘Hey how is this guy’s shooting,
or how is her analysis, or what have you?’” Former Sen.
Rick Santorum thinks Petraeus and other military personnel who have
expressed doubts about DADT have been indoctrinated. Any reason why Ricky still
gets microphone attention?
- What’s the deal with frat boys always looking to fight? Some meat head named Ryan
Sorba goes to CPAC,
makes a disjointed homophobic screed against GoProud, then threatens a gay
conservative who had the nerve to mock him. Why do frats boys think they are Jack
Johnson? Let’s give the conservative movement props this morning
because the fool was booed off the stage.
- She had nothing to say: At last week’s Cato
Institute seminar on gays in the conservative movement, Jason
Kuznicki asked Maggie Gallagher a rather simple question: let’s say
he agrees with her about gay marriage destroying the society. Should he leave
his husband, give up their adopted daughter, and enter ex-gay therapy? She had
no answer. Would be nice if fundies actually gave that question some thought,
but we know they won’t.
- It’s not a miracle, but it will do. It lacks the emotional
heft of the “Miracle on
ice” in 1980, but the US
Olympic hockey team handed Canada a loss last night. O, Canada! I
thought you were better than that!
- Tiger’s mea-culpa. Dear America: our outrage over Tiger
Woods’ sexual shenanigans is tedious. The man’s wife has every reason to be put
out by his inability to go straight home after the golfing day was done, but you
know the world is about to end when one of his mistresses, Veronica
Siwik-Daniels a/k/a porn actress Joslyn James, demands he gives
her an apology! When she made this teary-eyed request, her lawyer was sitting
right next to her. Jeesh people. Really? Really?
- David Paterson thinks he’s going to win? The governor of New York gets a standing ovation for talking budget issues and gay marriage,
but he must know he’s going to get his brains beat if Andrew Cuomo challenges
him in a primary.
- Dear Mr. McFarlane: This is a good faith proposal of
marraige. Man. This is a DADT morning. Did you all see Seth McFarlane
on Real
Time with Bill Maher? The “Family Guy” creator is profane and if
you love an ox, he’s going to gore it, eat the heart, and use any tears as a
chaser. With that said he was spot on, in his vulgar way, about folk who don’t
want gays and lesbians to serve openly. Too bad he’s straight. I would make him
an honest man.
