I Didn't Say It ...

President Barack Obama, on John Boehner’s lawsuit: 

"There are a number of Republicans, including a number in the Texas delegation, who are mad at me for taking these actions. They actually plan to sue me. Now, I don't know which things they find most offensive — me helping to create jobs, or me raising wages, or me easing the student loan burdens, or me making sure women can find out whether they're getting paid the same as men for doing the same job. I don't know which of these actions really bug them."

Probably all of them, because Obama wasn’t helping the NRA or the One Percent, which we all know as the major donors to the GOP.

Chris Christie, New Jersey Governor, on continuing to fight same-sex marriage even though he lost that battle in his own state:

“I don’t think that there’s going to be some major referee who’s going to say now it’s time to stop. Certainly I’m not going to, because these are opinions that I feel strongly about. … The country will resolve this over a period of time, but do I think it’s resolved now? No.”

Good luck carrying that theme into a presidential campaign, asshat.

Matt Bomer, on being nominated for an Emmy for The Normal Heart: 

"I couldn't even speak for the first minute, I was overcome with gratitude, just the moment was so profound for me. I've been working in TV for 13 years and to have this moment, I was completely overwhelmed and had to collect myself for a bit. [My husband] Simon knew firsthand how hard I worked on this role, how much we put into it, myself as an actor, and us collectively as a family. It was just really great to get to share that moment with him."

Sheesh. He’s hot, he’s talented, he’s gay and he’s sweet. No wonder he’s my husband … in my head.

Keith Ablow, Fox News wingnut, on California Governor Jerry Brown's decision to replace the terms "husband" and "wife" with "spouse" in the state's marriage laws:

"Here's the thing, the states need to get out of the marriage business. There's no way that the state of California can deny a marriage license to four spouses now. Eight spouses, or I would say three human spouses and the canine they absolutely love because if love is the foundation of marriage, they can love their dog, too."

Huh, maybe someone should teach Ablow to read because the new wording is singular — “spouse” — not plural, as in many wives or husbands; and since once has to be able to read and write and sign one’s name to a marriage license that eliminates, um, dogs and horses and trees and cars.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, on the Hobby Lobby decision:

"Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of person subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community."

She needs to start kicking ass and taking names on SCOTUS.

Todd Chrisley, star of USA’s reality show Chrisley Knows Best, on ‘the gay’ rumors:

“I don't believe that being gay is something you should be ashamed of. I don't believe it's something you should hide. And if I wanted to date someone, I would call you and I would ask you go to dinner with me. But right now, I'm very content in my life with where I am. Today, I'm not gay.”

Nice sentiment, all right, especially coming from someone who pings my Gaydar like a sledgehammer on a church bell, but I’ll take him at his word, with one caveat:

Today you’re not gay? Yesterday, maybe? Tomorrow, perhaps? That’s one odd thing to say.

"Doctor" Keith Ablow Goosesteps For Newt

As many of you know, I have a low tolerance for stupid people. But, every so often, along comes a stupid person, so deluded by their own lack of brain activity, that they almost become comical.
Like, say, "Doctor" Keith Ablow.
Just yesterday, I posted the "Dr.'s" theory about Americans drinking so much. It was kinda funny all the things he blames, being that not one of them is a right-wing thing, or a Christian thing, or  a FauxNews thing. Now we have "Doctor" Ablow talking about all things Newt, and, of course, seeing that they pay his bills, doing it for FauxNews.
Ablow was tasked with analyzing Newt Gingrich’s infidelity issues and he arrived at some pretty amazing [read: high-larious] conclusions. Now, the be fair, and balanced, I must say that "Doctor" Ablow believes Newt's fidelity, or lack thereof, doesn’t dictate how he’ll be as a President, but it's his other "theories" that tickle my funny bone."Dr." Ablow writes,

1) Three women have met Mr. Gingrich and been so moved by his emotional energy and intellect that they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with him.

Really? These women wanted to be with Newt The Sex God because of his “emotional energy and intellect”? Not, maybe, because he was their superior and they might be a hint, all right an ALLEGED hint, of sexual harassment at the most, but an inappropriate relationship at least. And, of course, "Dr." Ablow's theory rests of the shaky foundation that  Newt has great emotional energy and intellect.

2) Two of these women felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married.

3) One of them felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married for the second time, was not exactly her equal in the looks department and had a wife (Marianne) who wanted to make his life without her as painful as possible.

Conclusion: When three women want to sign on for life with a man who is now running for president, I worry more about whether we’ll be clamoring for a third Gingrich term, not whether we’ll want to let him go after one.

So, two of these women, including Marianne and the robotic Calista, began an inappropriate affair with a marriage man--and keep in mind, Calista portrays herself as a devout Catholic, though probably not while she flat on her back in the arms of a married Newt--and "Dr." Ablow apparently seriously believes that because they found Newt so utterly captivating and desirable that it means the American people are gonna find him just as delightful.
At least until we find out he's fucking around on us.
I mean, old habits and all.
See what i mean, though? Stupid people, like "Doctor" Ablow are sometimes so stupid, and so delusional, and so willing to sell themselves to a news channel--and that makes me giggle because it's Fox--that it actually becomes funny.
And then sad.
Then funny again, because, seriously, President "Newt".
Ain't gonna happen.

"Doctor" Keith Ablow Goosesteps For FauxNews

"Dr." Keith Ablow, goosestepping asshatted psychiatrist to FauxNews has a new mission on his hands. He wants to stop America from drinking, and he wants to tell us why Americans drink.

In a piece "Dr" Ablow wrote for FauxNews, he states that "one in every six Americans downs eight mixed drinks within a few hours, four times a month. Twenty-eight percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 binge-drink five times a month, putting away seven drinks in one sitting. And 13 percent of those between the ages of 45 and 65 binge drink five times a month, too."

Okay, that's not good. I'm mean, anyone with half a brain, and by half a brain I mean people like "Dr." Keith Ablow, know that binge-drinking is a bad, bad thing. And, while I can somewhat compliment "Dr." Ablow for his interest in stopping some Americans from drinking themselves to death, let's take a look at whom the "Dr." blames for our increased intoxication.

He believes "Americans are on a flight from reality." We're a'scurred for the economy, so we drink. We're afraid of Muslims so we have a shot of whiskey, or ten. And. then he pulls out that old chestnut: Americans are drinking themselves to death because, oh lawdy lawdy lawdy, help me, gay folks wanna get married.

But then he also tosses in immigration, and health care--though he is staunchly anti-Obamacare--as other reasons for our over-imbibing in the liquored beverages, saying, "[W]e as a nation are drinking, drugging, gambling, smoking, Facebooking, YouTubing, Marijuaning, Kardashianing, Adderalling, Bono-ing (as in thinking of Chaz’s sad flight from reality as good), Prozacking, Twittering, and Sexting ourselves into oblivion."

Note how "Dr." Keith Ablow blames the alcoholism of America on everything but FauxNews, and the GOP and Christians. Um, ya think it's because he's paid by FauxNews?

Perhaps. I mean, the Kardashians and Chaz Bono? Really? But Rick Santorum equating gay sex with bestiality isn't an issue. Michele Bachmann saying gay people are of Satan doesn't raise his dander. Newt Gingrich marrying THREE times and fucking around on two of those marriages--though I suspect we'll learn one day that he screwed around on the robotic Calista, too--doesn't bother him in the least.

What a sanctimonious fuck, blaming everything but Republican agenda and the Christians and Rupert Murdoch for people over-drinking.

Of course, at the end, "Dr." Ablow offers up his remedy for our National Alcoholism: God. Yes, indeed, take God into your life, become a good Christan and the urge to drink yourself blind because Chaz Bonbo is transgendered, or Kim Kardashian is a famewhore, or because someone defriended you on Facebook, will go away.

That's how the good "Dr." sees it, or at least how FauxNews pays the the good "Dr." to see it.

I Didn't Say It........

Doug Berger, North Carolina state senator, comparing the proposed same-sex marriage ban amendment to putting a pink triangle on the state constitution:
"In Nazi Germany, some of you may not realize that Adolf Hitler came to power through the ballot box and even though he was elected by the people, he was able to use the instruments of power to take away the rights of individuals….[I]f you were gay, you were required to wear a pink triangle to single that you were a member of that despised group. Now, I believe that if we pass this motion to concur, we are essentially putting a pink triangle into our state constitution."


And we wouldn't want that, would we, North Carolina?
Do you want to be that state?
Do you want to be that kind of people?
Or do you want equality?


Sally Kern, homophobe, bigot, and Oklahoma State Representative, on gays and AIDS being the biggest threat in the world today:

"You know if you just look at it in practical terms, which has destroyed and ended the life of more people? Terrorism attack here in America or HIV/AIDS? In the last twenty years, fifteen to twenty years, we’ve had maybe three terrorist attacks on our soil with a little over 5,000 people regrettably losing their lives. In the same time frame, there have been hundreds of thousands who have died because of having AIDS. So which one’s the biggest threat? And you know, every day our young people, adults too, but especially our young people, are bombarded at school, in movies, in music, on TV, in the mall, in magazines, they’re bombarded with ‘homosexuality is normal and natural.’ It’s something they have to deal with every day. Fortunately we don’t have to deal with a terrorist attack every day, and that’s what I mean."


Oh Sally. STFU.
You've been beating the "gays are the worst thing to happen to the planet since the beginning of time" drum long enough now. It isn't true, and even your most dimwitted followers know that, though they do enjoy the goosestepping along with hate thing.
For now.
And HIV/AIDS isn't the gay plague, Sal. That's so 1980s.
Being gay isn't terrorism, but, you know Sal, you utter moron, spreading hate, and fear and misinformation based on your own narrow-minded, limited, close-minded world view is a form of terrorism.
Intellectual terrorism....or in your case, lack of intellect terrorism. 

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, on how a little sitcom called "Modern Family" may be changing many conservatives views on gay marriage:
"It's shocking isn't it [that gay characters are being embraced]?  But also very encouraging.  I was prepared for these characters to have a bit of a backlash and it's sort of been the exact opposite.  Conservatives come up to us saying, 'You've changed my mind about gay marriage,' or, 'I relate to Cameron and Mitchell and find them very enjoyable and now I'm looking at Bob and Joe down the street and wondering how they're different.'  We have gay couples coming up to us, obviously, and saying, 'Thank you so much for being on TV,' or, 'My daughter has someone to point to and say, ' That family is just like mine."


I am a firm believer in this.
The more we come out, live out, stay out, the less fear and intolerance we'll suffer.
Just think about it, we live openly and honestly, going about our business just like everyone else, and people like asshat Sally Kern,. won't have any fear to spread.
It's a good thing.

David Barton, Christian Dominionist and history revisionist, trying to put the fear of a hate-filled in just about everyone but himself:
"I will tell you where this becomes very significant politically, it Romans 1:27-32, the scripture says not only does God not approve homosexuality, it says He does not approve those who do approve of homosexuality. So I’ve got a ballot, I’ve got a vote, I vote for somebody that approves homosexuality, God doesn’t approve me if I approve those who approve homosexuality. The Bible is so good about helping us know how to vote, because what you said is exactly right. The reason homosexuality will kill the blessing and I’ll tell you why, if I support someone who supports homosexuality, it will kill the blessing on me whether I’m a homosexual or not."


So, this wingnut not only wants The Gays to know that his god disapproves of us, but that his god also disapproves on anyone who votes for equality.
Seriously.
God isn't interested in American politics.
Hell, she isn't even interested in David Barton.

Michele Bachmann, presidential hopeful....tee hee....telling a South Carolina audience that if elected, she will abolish the Department of Education:
"The Constitution does not specifically enumerate nor does it give to the federal government the role and duty to superintend over education. That historically has been held by the parents and by local communities and by state government. To put that into the federal government as we saw a Department of Education in the late 1970s has eviscerated the constitutional understanding that the control of education truly lies with the parents."

Why not?
it's not like education helped her.

"Dr." Keith Ablow, still riding the Chaz Bono On DWTS Is A Danger To America bus: 

"This tour, this 'fame tour' of Chaz Bono, promoting transgenderism as if it's a civil right. There are a lot of kids who will be watching. Look. Kids go through phases. Adolescents. There may be tomboys watching who are girls. They don't really need to be encouraged to say 'hey wait what a second.' Maybe I'm not just a tomboy. Maybe I'm a boy!....This is a guy who has had a terrible run of things. An incredibly tortuous path and it's not over. So I don't like the idea that you'd suggest to adolescents and young people a surgical remedy at the plastic surgeon's office for a psychiatric condition!"

Yes, young girls are so stupid that if they see Chaz Bono on TV they'll wanna become boys.

This reeks of that whole "teaching" homosexuality bull shiz, and it's ignorant.

Someone who calls himself a "doctor" show know better.

John M. Oldham, APA president, responding to the outrageous claims of "Dr." Keith Ablow, about GID being contagious:

"The American Psychiatric Association (APA) recognizes gender identity disorder (GID) as a psychiatric disorder that involves significant distress or impairment in functioning. The APA supports access to appropriate diagnosis and treatment for persons with GID and recognizes that the decision to undergo gender transition is a deeply personal one. The APA opposes all forms of discrimination against persons with GID. There is no evidence that viewing a television game show with a transgender contestant would induce Gender Identity Disorder in young people."

Suh-Nap!

You can't turn someone gay who isn't gay.

You cannot make someone transgender who doesn't have GID.

You can, however, pretend to be a doctor on some right-wing-nut "news" show and spread fear and misinformation for a paycheck.

Kate Winslet, on the idea of having a gay son:
"I like being in the city. I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day. I love the way their brains work. Joe turns to me the other day and says 'One day I will have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling. Which would you prefer?' And I said 'My Love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesn't make any difference to me.' But that he knows! 
It's a real privilege. Talk about the best education."


That would be one lucky little gay boy to have such understanding and support from the get-go.
The times, they are a'changing.

Paul Rudd, on why he shouldn't be allowed to show his man bits in films:
"I've been naked in a lot of my movies. There's something inherently funny about the naked male body, particularly mine...Ryan Reynolds, sure, it makes sense why he'd strip down. But not me. I shouldn't be allowed to....I'm a big fan of movie nudity. A male ass shot is the cheapest and best laugh ever. But it's mortifying to do. When I showed my butt in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, all I could think was, 'This is going to be up on all those big screens.' I was very self-conscious about doing it. There's a scene in Our Idiot Brother where I'm naked and getting painted from the side, and because of the angle of the shot, our soundman -- who was a guest soundman, by the way, and not even our regular guy -- had an unfortunate view. He was holding up the boom mike and standing right in front of me. My legs were spread, and he was pretty much staring at my hairy taint."


Sounds like a dream job for some folks, but I digress.
I've seen Mr. Rudd nekkid in movies, and think he should keep it, er, up, so to speak.
So should Mr. Reynolds, for what it's worth.

I Didn't Say It........

Matt Damon, to teachers:

"So, the next time you’re feeling down, or exhausted, or unappreciated, or at the end of your rope; the next time you turn on the TV and see yourself being called “overpaid”; the next time you encounter some simple-minded, punitive policy that’s been driven into your life by some corporate reformer who has literally never taught anyone anything, please, please, please know that there are millions of us behind you. You have an army of regular people standing right behind you and our appreciation for what you do is so deeply felt. We love you, we thank you and we will always have your back."


Nicely put.
As the son of a teacher, and the product of teachers, many of them extraordinary, we need to do all we can for them.
For without teachers we might are be illiterate, uninformed, incoherent, Michele Bachmannites.
Just sayin'.


Dr. Keith Ablow, writing for Fox News, as an asshat:

"I advise parents to not allow their children to watch the episodes in which Chaz appears....Chaz Bono should not be applauded for asserting she is a man (and goes about trying to look like one) any more than a woman who believes she will be happier without arms, has them removed and then continues to assert that she was right all along—her self-concept was that of a double amputee. Now, all is well. Chaz Bono should not be applauded any more than someone who, tragically, believes that his species, rather than gender, is what is amiss and asks a plastic surgeon to build him a tail of flesh harvested from his abdomen. If only a plastic surgeon would acquiesce, all would be well."


Hey, um, "Doctor"?
STFU.
Chaz is not asserting anything other than dancing.
HE, yes, motherfucker, HE, has the same rights to be on some cheesy reality show as anyone else. And if you don't like it, fine, then you don't watch. But don't spread fear and hate and bigotry and intolerance.
Seriously.
STFU.


Judith Weisman, Liberty University law professor, on all gays--and women--being pedophiles:
"We know that pedophilia, which was the original Greek they say it’s ‘love of’ but of course it isn’t, it’s ‘lust for’ boys. And there’s a strong, clear, cross-cultural, historical reality, people don’t want to do deal with, but the propaganda has been loud and strong to deny the fact, the aim of homosexual males and now increasingly females is not to have sex with other old guys and get married but to obtain sex with as many boys as possible. That’s the reality. I wish it weren’t, but it is."


Hey "Professor"?
STFU.
Any idiot with an education and an internet connection can discover that the majority--and it's well over 90%--of pedophiles are heterosexual men.
Heterosexual men.
Pedophilia, child molestation, child rape, are not sex acts, but acts of power over someone else. The pedophile feels so inadequate that they must molest young boys and girls in order to feel a sense of power and control.
It isn't about sex any more than you are about education.
Seriously.
STFU.

Kathy Griffin, on how Marcus Bachmann is her act and her audience:
"Okay, he's very anti-gay and LGBT rights, and it's odd, because if you look at him on YouTube, it's almost as if he himself... or, it's as if...I would say that Marcus Bachmann reminds me of a lot of the type of men who come see my live shows...And he wants people to 'pray the gay away' and so I was going to call the special 'Pray the Gay Back'" but Bravo changed it to Pants Off."


Marcus Bachmann is probably getting a little tingly in his nether region at the words "Pants Off" though.

You go get 'em Kathy.
He'll be enraged, maybe, but he'll be watching....and watching again when Michele goes to her own room for the night.

Joe Solmonese, of the HRC, on the mistrial in the Lawrence King murder case:

“It is disappointing that the criminal justice system has failed to bring closure to the family, friends and community that loved Lawrence. In the wake of the mistrial, and in honor of Lawrence, we will continue our efforts to prevent these types of tragedies by working with school districts across our nation to stamp out the ignorance and prejudice that led to Lawrence’s death. It’s up to the adults around children to call out that early behavior and prejudice, and to explain that the differences among us are part of what makes us strong: that being different is not something to attack, but to appreciate. If Lawrence or Brandon had lived in that world, their lives might not have collided in tragedy and death.”


It's a sad world where one young boy can take a loaded gun into school, walk up behind another young boy, shoot him in the back of the head, and have a mistrial declared.
It's also a sad world when just expressing your love, your attraction, your like, to another human being can result in your being murdered.

Lacey Schwimmer, Chaz Bono's DWTS partner, on the "controversy: 

"No human is perfect, so why are they pointing out what they perceive to be an imperfection in someone else? It's not cool. We’re all taught to not bully, or harass, and treat everyone as equals yet all these people are doing exactly the opposite...At the end of the day, everyone is going to have a hater. I choose not to listen to it, because it’s ridiculous. To us, it’s more important to focus on the positive people. I was absolutely thrilled [to be paired with Chaz]. I’ve always been a huge supporter of the LGBT community and I couldn’t be more excited to have Chaz. Not only is he Sonny & Cher’s child but he’s also a generally cool person...This is my sixth season -- the producers know that I’m very open-minded and really accepting of everyone. Ever since Lance [Bass] was on the show, it opened the door for the LGBT community to be accepted in Middle America and it’s about time. It’s 2011, let’s evolve a little bit here."


Oh, I think we need to evolve all the way.
But, it's a step.

Rick Perry, speaking to evangelicals and teabaggers, about any secrets--i.e. rumors that he's a flamer--in his life: 

"I can assure you that there is nothing in my life that will embarrass you if you decide to support me for president."


Other than the fact that you are a lying, pandering, big business, non-job creating, pray the drought away, bigoted asshat who looks and acts and walks and talks like W.
And, since we've been down that road before, I certainly hope we are smart enough not to go back.

Bryan Fischer, of the AFA,  on recriminalizing homosexuality, and passing laws outlaw unprotected sex:

"What I’m suggesting is that we enact ordinances in city after city and laws in state after state that mandate that same exact penalty - whatever penalty gay activists think is appropriate - for unprotected homosexual sex. Hey, if it’s good enough for porn stars, it should be good enough for the average gay man on the street. And if someone wants to extend that same penalty to unmarried straights who have sex, who am I to complain?"


This is so over the top as to be incomprehensible.
Outlaw being gay?
Outlaw unprotected sex for everyone who isn't a married heterosexual?
Seriously, is the Delusional Bus ever gonna pick this fucktard up and take him away?

Jane Lynch speaks out about hosting Emmys:

 "I'm a person, not just a gay person. So I don't focus on gay things like [my sexuality]. I just focus on good jokes and being funny. I've thought of every aspect of it, I'm very much collaborating with everybody." 


She isn't the "gay" host. She's the host.
Just like NPH.
When we limit ourselves to one defining identity, i.e. gay, we limit ourselves completely.
We are not gay people.
We are people who are gay.
Subtle, yes, but still a difference.

Gary DeMar, "evangelist", on a Gay Death Penalty being enacted Christians achieve dominion over the United States:

"Obviously, certain sins often may escape detection. Homosexuals who practice behind closed doors are out-of-bounds for the courts, of course, unless others witness their criminal behavior. Such behavior may not be dealt with by courts in history, but will be dealt with by God, either in history (e.g., AIDS) or eternity. The law that requires the death penalty for homosexual acts effectually drives the perversion of homosexuality underground, back to the closet, to the dark realm of shameful activity."


So, this "man of god' wants to Kill The Gays.
And keeps spreading the myth that AIDS is god's punishment for being gay, even though straight men and women, and even children have died as a result of AIDS.
It's punishment.
Look, fucktard, I ain't goin' back in the closet.
None of us are.....so, deal.

Oscar De La Hoya, former boxer, on those 2007 photos that showed him in full-body fishnet drag, but blaming it on cocaine and alcohol addiction which he says he has since conquered:

"Let me to tell you, yes, yes, it was me. I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself."


So, he puts on a fishnet body-suit and a wig and some make-up and poses for pictures and then denies that it's him for four years.
Until he decides to admit it's him, but that it was cocaine and booze that made him do it?
Maybe if he'd admitted it right away he could have gotten sober sooner.

David Arquette, on his fellow DWTS "star" Rob Kardashian's backside:

"The thing about Rob is, and a lot of people don't know this, but he's got a great ass just like his sister...I'm serious! Once you see it, his ass is fantastic...And I really think it's going to be a secret weapon."


David sounds like he's up for trading dance partners so he can grab a coupla handfuls of Kardashian boy booty.
And yet, I don't hear any outrage about that.

Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboy, holding a grudge for Skip Bayless speculating that Aikman was gay...FIFTEEN YEARS AGO: 
"When a guy like that comes out and, whether it's intimated or stated, and there's no substance to that claim, and he's doing it purely to gain interest in a book, that's a problem...I will tell you this. I've not seen -- I've not physically seen Skip Bayless since that time. That was in '95. And I still kind of wonder what I might do to him when I do see him." 


Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
It's been FIFTEEN years, Troy.
Build a bridge and get your ALLEGEDLY straight ass over it.
