President-For-Now _____ Orders Cabinet To Plant A Wet One On His Ass

Hair Furor!

President-For-Now _____ held a Cabinet meeting yesterday—cameras present and running, of course—and asked that each and every Cabinet member around the table start off by kissing his big fat ass.

Oh, but he did.

But, as a narcissist will do, _____ started off first, praising himself—I guess to show his underlings what he expected of them:
"Never has there been a president, with few exceptions—case of FDR, he had a major depression to handle—who has passed more legislation and who has done more things than what we’ve done. We’ve been about as active as you can possibly be and at a just about record pace.”
Um, like what? Wall? No. Travel ban? No. Healthcare? No.

And then he asked the others to speak; Mike Pence went first:
“Never have I had a more gentle lover. The way you bend me over the couch in the Oval Office and make sweet sweet love to me.".
Okay, maybe Mike didn’t say that, but he did say this:
“It is the greatest privilege of my life to serve as vice president. The president is keeping his word to the American people.”
And Pence is awaiting impeachment so he can ascend to the throne.

Next up, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry:
“Now, because of you, Mr. President, people have stopped calling me ‘The Dumb One’ in the GOP.”
All right! He didn’t exactly say it in those words, but Perry—who had urged_____ not to drop out of the Paris climate agreement—praised the man for doing just that:
“My hat’s off to you for taking that stand and sending a clear message around the world.” 
Health Secretary Tom Price said:
“You have made my life. By allowing me to work toward denying healthcare to millions while making millions myself, well, I could go on kissing your lily white ass for decades.”
Or, he said:
"I can't thank you enough for the privileges you've given me and the leadership that you've shown. And we’re continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish these goals.”
But I’ll give it to U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley—who spends her days fixing the idiotic gaffes and statements issued by the Tool-In-Chief—who, instead of saying something along the lines of “How come you don’t wanna grab my pussy?” said:
“I think the international community knows we’re back."
But it was Chief of Staff Reince Priebus who walked up behind _____, made him stand, undid his belt, pushed down the President’s pants, pulled down his briefs, spread those clammy ass cheeks and planted a big went one on _____’s sphincter, with this one:
“On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing that you’ve given us to serve your agenda and the American people,”
No joke; he said that.

Of course, rumors abound that Priebus is thisclose to being kicked to the curb, so can we blame him for being such a stunt man?

Despite Trump’s boasts to the contrary—the only thing they’ve accomplished are scandals, and low approval ratings—no major legislation has made its way through Congress.

None. Nearly six months in and the GOP—fully in control of the entire government—has done nothing.

But, hey, _____ wants a rim job.

America Under Siege: President _____ Remembers The Holocaust ... Forgets The Jews

Holocaust Remembrance Day was last Friday and, as is custom, the White House issued a statement ... a statement that failed to mention Jews or anti-Semitism.

The Holocaust was remembered, and the Jews were forgotten.

One of President _____’s spokesmorons, this one is called Hope Hicks, says the reason for omitting the Jews was that, "despite what the media reports, we are an incredibly inclusive group and we took into account all of those who suffered."

Okay, let’s look at all those who suffered:

Six million Jews—and that number is kind of a guess because no one really knows—were murdered by the Nazis. There were some 4.5 million Soviet civilians, and 3 million Soviet prisoners of war, the number of non-Jewish Polish civilians murdered is about 1.6 while 312,000 Serbian civilians were also murdered; 250,000 people with disabilities living in institutions were killed, along with 200,000 Gypsies and 1,900 Jehovah's Witnesses; 70,000 repeat criminal offenders and so-called asocials—many of whom were homosexualand an undetermined number of German political opponents and resistance activists.

All told, a rough estimate would be over 16 million people murdered, with nearly a third being Jewish and the White House cannot mention that. Is it because Steve Bannon, an anti-Semite, formerly of Breitbart, has the president’s ear?

I wonder ... Hicks then told CNN that while 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, 5 million others were also slaughtered during Adolf Hitler's genocide, including "priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah's Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters."

Oops, she forgot The Gays there, as well.

And so, as one might expect, Hicks was asked if the _____ White House didn't mention Jews as victims of the Holocaust because the president didn't want to offend the other people the Nazis targeted and killed, and she muttered that "it was our honor to issue a statement in remembrance of this important day."

The reason for the remembrance is the fact that Hitler ordered the extermination of Jews; he sought to wipe out an entire group of people; his enemies, some gypsies, some gays and others, were most likely just an added benefit because, let’s be really clear here, the Jews were the target.

The Jews were the target and this past week the United States of America just ignored them.

Anti-Defamation League Director Jonathan Greenblatt told CNN that the United Nations established International Holocaust Remembrance Day not only because of Holocaust denial but also because so many countries—Iran, Russia, Poland, and Hungary, for example—refuse to acknowledge Hitler's attempt to exterminate Jews and focus, and President _____ did last week, on “generic suffering rather than recognizing this catastrophic incident for what is was: the intended genocide of the Jewish people."

After being asked about the ADL criticism and the omission of the Jews or even of anti-Semitism, Hicks provided a statement from Ronald Lauder of the World Jewish Congress:
"It does no honor to the millions of Jews murdered in the Holocaust to play politics with their memory. Any fair reading of the White House statement today on the International Holocaust Memorial Day will see it appropriately commemorates the suffering and the heroism that mark that dark chapter in modern history."
We aren't playing politics with the memory of those Jews murdered in the Holocaust; we are simply remembering them , and by failing to mention them at all, _____ and his band of racists and anti-Semites and homophobes are trying to, in their own way, deny it ever happened.

Enter White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who, on Sunday, actually defended the statement saying, the Holocaust was "horrible event" and a "miserable time in history that we remember here at the White House."

Except, again, for the Jews. Priebus continued:
 "And certainly we'll never forget the Jewish people that suffered in World War II and obviously still incredible wounds that remain in a time in history that was of great incredible horrific magnitude."
And when he was asked why he would “whitewash” the Jews, Priebus simply denied that was the case.

Except that’s what they did; imagine, if you will, if we hold a memorial next year for the victims of the Impulse nightclub shooting in Orlando and just don’t mention that the majority were gay—because some straight people were killed, to; or what if we fail to acknowledged that most were Hispanic because some white folks were in the club as well.

And that leads me to wonder how _____’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is Jewish feels about the snub; how does Ivanka feel since she converted to Judaism and is raising the couple’s children in the Jewish faith.

Priebus said:
"It's a terrible time in history and obviously, you know that President Trump has dear family members that are Jewish and there was no harm or ill will or offense intended by any of that."
But then Priebus again maintained that the _____ White House does not regret the omission.

They are not sorry.

Six million Jews did in the Holocaust and Donald _____ cannot bring himself to say it.

How sick is that?

#TedCruzLies ... But Says He's Sorry

Ted Cruz is lying again.

After last week’s Voter Violation mailer — see post HERE — where he seemed to be shaming Iowans to vote by alleging that their voting records will be shown to their neighbors, this week, right before the caucus, his campaign announced that rival Ben Carson was quitting the race.

But that was a lie; Carson wasn’t quitting; Carson never said he was quitting:
"I think whoever is responsible for blatant lying should be dismissed, absolutely. Unless that kind of behavior is acceptable in your campaign culture."
Well, it’s acceptable in a Ted Cruz Campaign. And before anyone thinks this might be Carson just crying foul because he doesn’t have a shot at ever being president, ask yourself why Ted Cruz is now, after the caucus, apologizing for the, er, mistake? And why is Ted Cruz blaming CNN for the error, saying his campaign staff saw a CNN report that Carson was dropping out:
"Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story. That's fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out."
See what he does? Cruz says his “people” saw it on CNN — though CNN never used the words “dropping out,” but simply reported that Carson planned to go home to Florida after Iowa, rather than heading to New Hampshire or South Carolina — and then he blames Carson and his campaign for not clarifying the CNN story.

Seriously, Ted, er, DetesTed? The CNN story was clear until you grabbed hold of it and mangled it into a lie.

Carson said he accepts Cruz’ apology, but wonders, as do I —  and look at me, agreeing with Ben Carson — if there is a deeper issue within Cruz’ campaign:
"As a Christian I will accept the apology but it doesn't correct the problem. This is a cultural issue when people in your campaign feel that it's ok to distort the issues to their political advantage and to tell absolute lies. And the question really is will there be any consequences for that."
That’s Ted Cruz; he will blatantly lie to win; he’ll lie to the voters and try to shame them into voting for him, and he’ll lie about an opponent quitting so he can scoop up their leftovers.

And even Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee Chairman, seems to find it acceptable behavior and has refused to get involved. A GOP candidate for the highest office in the land is a proven liar and the boss sits on his hands.

Yup, that’s the GOP.

Random Musings

This week, Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, had Karl Rove’s back, arguing that it’s "fair game" to discuss Hillary Clinton's health and age, and insinuate, a la Rove, that she suffers from some sort of brain damage. You know, to make her look old and feeble and unable to govern the nation when she wins the White House in 2016.

Funny, though, the GOP thinks she’s suffered some sort of brain trauma and yet managed to be the evil genius behind a Benghazi cover-up at the same time.

Hypocrites all.
Well, whaddya know The Gays can marry in Oregon making it the 18th state to allow equality — after U.S. District Court Judge Michael McShane struck down the state’s ban as “utterly arbitrary and completely irrational” and in violation of the equal protection and due process guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.

Since the governor, John Kitzhaber, and his attorney general have already made clear they intended to abide by any decision striking the ban same-sex couples began marrying in Oregon minutes after the ban died a much-needed death.

Bravo.
Can someone, anyone, get the folks at FoxNews an intern who can actually spell? Or is that asking too much ... since it's FoxNews?
I don’t watch the Duggars on TV, where they seem to revel in the fact that Mama Duggar has pushed nineteen children through her uterus over the last couple of decades or so. I am not big on the multiple breeders, especially the ones who say they have all these children because that’s what God intended for them and they always do what God says. And this, apparently, means they will defy God’s natural order of things by using in vitro fertilization to bring Baby#20 into the world.

Somewhere God is shaking her head.
The Michael Sam reality show docu-series that Oprah was trying to rush into production so that the public forgets about her last reality-show docu-series, Lindsay, has been put on hold at OWN. It seems the St. Louis Rams feel that ‘The Untitled Michael Sam Project’ would turn Sam’s transition to the team into more of a media circus than it already is, and asked Oprah to step back, have a cookie, and rethink.

The project had been labeled a 'distraction' for Sam, and for anyone who wanted to watch it because, you know, it’s OWN and Oprah would have worked her way into the show some way, perhaps playing Sam’s long-lost aunt or something, because whatever she does, it all, and always, about Oprah.
I didn’t watch the Billboard Music Awards last week because, well, I just didn’t care enough to watch them, and when I found out the biggest performer was Dead Michael Jackson Hologram, it made me realize my decision was the right one.

I mean, when Dead Performers are the stars of the show and the living performers are second-tier, we should maybe rethink music.

And when you toss in Robin Thicke using the stage to try and get his wife, Paula Patton, back after she left him because he’s a serial cheater, well, let me just say this to Robin:

You want your wife back? Stop singing to her and tell her you’ll stop f**king around on her because your “career” is just about over and you’ll soon be back to carrying her luggage.

M’kay?
Out there to Idaho, it seems that thousands of couples have tied the knot at the Hitching Post in Coeur d’Alene, but now the popular wedding spot says it will not perform marriages for same-sex couples, even if that means closing its doors after 95 years in business.

“We will not be marrying gay couples here,” said Donald Knapp, an ordained minister. Knapp said he follows biblical teaching on marriage, as do the other Christian ministers who perform weddings there. “I’m not antagonistic to people of that belief. If that’s what they want to do, they can choose to live together to do the things that they’re doing. I cannot in good conscience perform same-sex marriages.”

Christian love at its finest, eh?
On the other hand, down there in Costa Rica, they have no problem at all with The Gays.
In what is being called a first for the country, the Rainbow flag was raised alongside that country's own flag last week, above the Presidential Palace.

Newly-elected President Luis Guillermo Solíssaid he asked that the flag fly over his house so that it would be in time for last week’s International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia:

“This is the house of all Costa Ricans. When we say all Costa Ricans we mean all, without exclusion, without violence, without harassment in absolute respect for the rights of each one...We’re fighting against discrimination in defense of the human rights of all Costa Ricans."

It is allegedly the first time the gay pride flag had been flown from the offices of a head of state in the Americas.

You go, President Solíssaid!
Is it really weird that I thought Jesse Eisenberg looked kinda hot in Now You See Me?
Remember Phil Robertson, the star of the reality show Duck Dynasty who compared The Gays to drunks and terrorists and called The Gays “insolent, arrogant God haters”? ‘Memba him?

Well Republican and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is going to give him an award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, and called the Robertson family “great citizens” of the state.

Way to go, Bobby, give an award to a man who hates The Gays, and thinks Black people were happier before Civil Rights and that it’s just fine for a grown-ass man to marry a fifteen-year-old girl.

Louisiana? You suck for keeping that asshat in office.
So, the day after Oregon became the 18th state to make The Gays legally entitled to be married, Pennsylvania became the 19th state. And I don’t think it was a coincidence that this all happened on Cher’s 68th birthday, or the day after Bianca Del Rio became Drag Royalty, but there was a tinge of irony in the story that also made me giggle like a giddy schoolgirl.

The judge who ruled that The Gays can marry was a judge appointed by former President George W. Bush and wildly supported by Pennsylvania’s own Frothy Mix, Rick Santorum.

Ricky now, of course, is doing the GOP Goosestep about the whole thing but, let’s all realize that in one small way, we have Rick Santorum to thank for marriage equality in Pennsylvania!

Ya-freakin’-hoo!
Yesterday Carlos had an eye appointment and was to have his eyes dilated. Since he wouldn’t be good to drive after, I took the day off and went with him.

While sitting in the waiting room, I eavesdropped—hey, we all do it!—on two older ladies chatting and reading the paper and one snippet of their conversation went like this:

First Older Lady: Jerry Vale died.

Second older Lady: At the Koger Center.

First Older Lady: No, he … what?

Second Older Lady: Is he having a concert at the Koger Center?

First Older Lady: No. He.Died.

Second Older Lady: Then, no concert?

I tried hard not to laugh out loud.
It looks like those wacky Teabagger candidates are runnin’ outta steam as many of them were trounced in their elections in this week’s GOP primaries. Even that Old Turtle, Mitch McConnell, a GOP loon if there ever was one, decisively beat his tea party challenger by 24 percentage points.

It's the latest big beat-down for the Tea Party and a growing trend that their reign of irrational terror is waning. Of course, to be fair, it seems the ‘Baggers have been successful in pushing some of the more wingnutty GOPers to the right in open seat Republican primaries, but they haven't had any luck kicking out GOP incumbents this year.


Hopefully, even amongst the wingnuttiest of the GOP, this means a slow, painful death to Teabagistan.

The RNC Foot-Stomps Over Planned NBC/CNN Hillary Films

You know what’s funny? The mere mention of the words “Hillary Clinton” and “White House” sends the GOP into a tailspin, chasing their collective tails and barking at imaginary doorbells.

Yesterday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus sent pissy, put-on-your-big-boy-pants letters to both NBC and CNN because both networks have recently announced plans to produce, respectively, a film and a documentary on the life of former Secretary of State Clinton.

And Priebus and the RNC see these programs—both of which will air before the presidential campaign begins—as a kind of campaign contribution to the Hillary Clinton campaign that has yet to even be verified or announced.

The mere mention of Hillary sends the GOP running and pissing like a mad dog.
So, Priebus has decided that if either network airs their Clinton programs than the GOP will formally bar Republicans from partnering with the networks on any primary or Presidential debates in 2016. 

To CNN, Priebus wrote:
I find CNN’s actions disturbing and disappointing. Your credibility as a supposedly unbiased news network will most certainly be jeopardized by the decision to show political favoritism and produce an extended commercial for Secretary Clinton’s nascent campaign.
And to NBC, he said:
I find this disturbing and disappointing. NBC cannot purport to be a neutral party in American politics, and the credibility of NBC News, already damaged by the partisanship of MSNBC, will be further undermined by the actions of NBC Universal executives who have taken it upon themselves to produce an extended commercial for Secretary Clinton’s nascent campaign.
To be fair, most major entertainment networks—like NBC—and most news networks—like CNN—rarely produce mini-series or documentaries about major figures in politics yet, the idea of a Clinton story is an interesting one. It's a good one, too, as she has been on the forefront of American politics since her husband became president in 1992.

Still, and I keep going back to this, just how scared of Hillary is the GOP? I mean, they’re acting like Clinton, who has never said she was running for president, has already won the office before the race had even begun.

Hmmm, maybe they’re onto something ….. 

Here are the full letters:

I Didn't Say It ....

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, on the rumor that the GOP will become more tolerant:
"I don’t know if I’ve used the word ‘tolerance,’ I don’t really care for that word myself. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it has another meaning politically that can go the other direction. I happen to believe that our principles are sound. I do believe, and I still will tell you that our party believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. Our party believes that life begins at conception. I think those are foundational issues that aren’t going anywhere but what I have said, which I don’t think should be controversial at all and I would think that Christians and pastors and everyone in between should agree that our principles have to be draped in the concepts of grace, love and respect and that’s not code language, that’s the New Testament. ... So ‘tolerance’ — maybe some people use that word, what I would tell you, when I think about it, I think about grace, I think about love, and I think about respect, and I think those are things that are very square with our beliefs as Christians."

Straights from the horse’s, er, mouth: the GOP wants you to think they are open and accepting of women and The Gays and immigrants, but the truth is they are not.
They are the same old GOP.

Stephen Rhodes, openly gay one-time NASCAR driver, on returning to the track after a ten-year absence and being gay:
"I don't think going into a sport — having to face the ones that either like me or don't like me — is anything any different than I live any day. I live in the South. I know that NASCAR has a conservative, Southern fan base, and I'm not going to try and change anyone's minds and their opinions. They're either going to like me or going to hate me. That's just life in general, really."

But, just the fact that he’s out there, and out, will get the discussion started.
And that’s the first step toward changing people’s minds.

Andrew Garfield, on the LGBT community and Spiderman:
"Spiderman stands for everybody — gay, straight, bisexual, transsexual. To me, love between two consenting adults is love. To me, that anyone would bat an eyelash at what I said to me is interesting.'"

He isn’t speaking as Spiderman, a fictional cartoon character; he’s speaking as a human being wondering why some of us question the love that any two people share.

Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's Republican Attorney General, speaking about The Gays during a gubernatorial debate:
“My personal beliefs about the personal challenges of homosexuality haven’t changed ... The notion that because I believe marriage ought to be protected, because I believe life begins at conception — just like hundreds of thousands of independents and Democrats — this isn’t just me, it isn’t just Republicans. There are lots of Virginians, millions, perhaps, of Virginians, who share my sincerely held beliefs.”

Or maybe not.
Cuccinelli might have been so busy wondering about the ins-and-outs — see what I did there? —of oral and anal sex that he missed a new poll in his own state that shows 505 of Virginians support same-sex marriage. And most probably support keeping Ken Cuccinelli out of their bedrooms.

Harvey Fierstein, on Vladimir Putin's anti-LGBT policies in Russia, and the upcoming Winter Olympics:
"Mr. Putin’s campaign against lesbian, gay and bisexual people is one of distraction, a strategy of demonizing a minority for political gain taken straight from the Nazi playbook. Can we allow this war against human rights to go unanswered? Although Mr. Putin may think he can control his creation, history proves he cannot: his condemnations are permission to commit violence against gays and lesbians. Last week a young gay man was murdered in the city of Volgograd. He was beaten, his body violated with beer bottles, his clothing set on fire, his head crushed with a rock. This is most likely just the beginning. ... With Russia about to hold the Winter Games in Sochi, the country is open to pressure. American and world leaders must speak out against Mr. Putin’s attacks and the violence they foster. The Olympic Committee must demand the retraction of these laws under threat of boycott. In 1936 the world attended the Olympics in Germany. Few participants said a word about Hitler’s campaign against the Jews. Supporters of that decision point proudly to the triumph of Jesse Owens, while I point with dread to the Holocaust and world war. There is a price for tolerating intolerance."

I am generally on the side of keeping politics out of the Olympic games, but Fierstein, as usual, makes valid points about this type of stand your ground.
Standing up against discrimination, against violence, against intolerance.
But, should there be no boycott, let there be some stunning victories by openly gay athletes who can show Russia, and Putin, that he cannot continue his hate speech towards the LGBT community.


Amanda Hess, writing for Slate, on the newest Weiner scandal:
"What would the American public find if it combed through all of your Facebook messages, Twitter DMs, and Gchat history? If it had an exclusive peek into your webcam, or could scroll through your iPhone pics at will? This great nation is littered with hard drives full of poorly lit topless pics, broken promises to former lovers, and messages that sounded sexy at the time but look very stupid now. Anthony Weiner’s sexts don’t make him look like a sexual predator or even a freak. They make him look very, very ordinary."

Except, most ordinary folks aren't running for mayor of the biggest city in the country.



Ted Cruz, the Republican ::gag:;; Senator from Texas :::gag:::, speaking to the Christian Broadcasting Network about what might happen if The Gays become equal:
"If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that's the next step of where it gets enforced. It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as inconsistent with the enlightened view of government. I think there is no doubt that the advocates who are driving this effort in the United States want to see us end up in that same place."

Not.One.Pastor.Has.Been.Forced.To.Perform.A.Same-sex.Marriage.Ever!
Cruz needs to stop toeing the GOP line and spreading fear.

Alec Baldwin, complaining to Howard Stern about Anderson Cooper criticizing him for the "toxic little queen" TwitFit™:
"What I realize about [Cooper] is, everybody in media, they have a job to do. Anderson Cooper has a job to do. And that job is to try to reinforce his credibility in the gay community after the fact that you couldn't get him out of the closet for 10 years with a canister of tear gas. Now he's the sheriff. Now he's running around writing everybody a ticket!"

Sadly, no one used a canister of tear gas to shut Alec Baldwin up.
Anderson Cooper, as a gay man who came out when he felt ready, as is his right, has every reason to call Baldwin for being the tyrannical dick-tator he fancies himself.
The more and more that Baldwin talks the less and less he sounds like the LGBT ally he professes to be.

As I said to Paula Dean, Shut the f**k up.

I Didn't Say It....

Andrew Sullivan, on President Obama's endorsement of marriage equality:
"It's hugely important and to tell you the truth, I didn't realize how important it would be until it happened. Beforehand, I was kind of steeled. I was like, 'I don't care, he's going to disappoint us again.' And then I sat down and watched our president tell me that I am his equal, that I'm no longer outside, I'm fully part of this family and to hear the president who is in some ways a father figure speak to that, the tears came down like with many people in our families, to be included....I never understood the power of a president's words until that day, really. I thought, all that matters is the states and the Congress and the Defense of Marriage Act and I had all this in my head and suddenly this man saying, 'I'm with you, I get it, you're like me, I'm like you, there is nothing between us, we are the same people and we are equal human beings and I want to treat you the way you treat me.' That -- that was overwhelming. That's all I can say. I was at a loss for words."

I think we all felt the same way.

Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee chair, on whether or not marriage equality is a civil rights issue:
“I don’t think it’s a matter of civil rights. I think it’s just a matter of whether or not we’re going to adhere to something that’s been historical and religious and legal in this country for many, many years. I mean, marriage has to have a definition. And we just happen to believe it’s between a man and a woman....People in this country, no matter straight or gay, deserve dignity and respect. However, that doesn’t mean it carries on to marriage."

Typical GOP goose-stepping moron.
He actually lumps religion and legality in the same sentence even though the two have no place together in law.
How can we expect the GOP to evolve on equality when they can’t even understand the Constitution?

Bristol Palin, single unwed mother, high school graduate, and reality show whore, on Barack Obama's methods of raising his children:
"While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview."

I love how the girl who got knocked up out of marriage is suddenly the Marriage Expert.
That’s like having Bristol Palin be an Abstinence Expert and….
She is?
Wow, the stupid apple not only felt out of the stupid tree, it hit every single stupid branch on the way down, and then landed on a pile of stupid called Levi, and then fucked him.

R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republican head, on Mittsy's marriage equality lack of evolution:
"Governor Mitt Romney's statement in opposition to not just marriage but civil unions jeopardizes his ability to win moderates, women and younger voters, especially as a large majority of Americans favor some form of relationship recognition for their LGBT friends and neighbors. Ultimately, the response of the Republican candidates this election cycle will determine not just endorsements by Log Cabin Republicans, but the votes of millions of Americans who are simply tired of the culture wars."

Good luck with that.
Your presumptive nominee and even the head of your committee disagree.
Oh, well, you can try again in 2016.

Steny Hoyer, Democratic House Minority Whip, on marriage equality:
"I have believed that the phrase ‘civil union’ was an appropriate definition of a relationship that is both different and the same between two people of the same sex. And I have believed strongly that such couples must be treated equally under the law. Because I believe that equal treatment is a central tenet of our nation, I believe that extending the definition of marriage to committed relationships between two people, irrespective of their sex, is the right thing to do and will not, in any way, undermine the institution of marriage so important to our society nor impose a threat to any individual marriage. It will, however, extend the respect due to every one of our fellow citizens that we would want for ourselves and our children."

And the Evolution continues……

Michele Bachmann, withdrawing her dual citizenship in America and Switzerland, roughly five seconds after it was announced she was accepting dual citizenship in America and Switzerland, Ladybird's land of origin:
"I sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978. I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100 percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America. As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran, I am proud of my allegiance to the greatest nation the world has ever known."

Pandering delusional, married to a homosexual, moron.

Howard Stern, new America's Got Talent judge, on fellow celebrity judges Britney Spears, and Jennifer Lopez:
"Well, I think it's a wonderful decision [on the $15 million deal Spears just signed to become The X Factor judge]. Britney still thinks the earth is flat. I don't anticipate great opinions from her. I think she's gonna sit there like J.Lo, 'Oh, you're wonderful, you're terrific. You think I can get a perfume endorsement out of this?' As far as any real criticism, I think Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid will do that. I think Britney will sit there and eat a lollipop and wear a sexy outfit. I'll tune in to see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely." 

Snap!

Rick Santorum, bigot, homophobe, moron, failed presidential candidate, on wanting Mitt Romney to talk up his anti-gay values:
"This is a very potent weapon, if you will, for Governor Romney if he’s willing to step up and take advantage of a president who is very much out of touch with the values of America...Hopefully Governor Romney will continue to stand tall for his position on this issue and understanding how detrimental it would be for society for it to have this changed."

Like Romney needs to amp up his fear and loathing of the LGBT community.
Like he needs the help of Frothy.
He’s enough lying, flip-flopping, pandering hatred for the whole party, all by himself.

James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican Congressman, on his support for legislation making it okay to fire someone for being gay....oh and how being gay is a choice:
"Well, you’re now dealing with behavior and I’m trying to figure out exactly what you’re trying to mean by that. Because you’re dealing with — race and sexual preferences are two different things. One is a behavior-related and preference-related and one is something inherently — skin color, something obvious, that kind of stuff. You don’t walk up to someone on the street and look at them and say, “Gay or straight? I think it’s a choice issue. Are tendencies and such? Yes. But I think it’s a choice issue."

Oh Jimmy. I know its Oklahoma but it doesn’t have to be stupid.
See, your being stupid is a choice. Your being a homophobe is a choice. My thinking you’re an idiot is a choice.
My being gay is an orientation.

Bob Staake, artist, on his art piece for the recent cover of The New Yorker:
“I am honored to be doing this cover. It’s a celebratory moment for our country, and that’s what I tried to capture. (I don’t especially like those rainbow colors, but they are what they are—I had to use them.) I wanted to celebrate the bravery of the President’s statement—a statement long overdue—but all the more appreciated in this political year. We are on the right side of history.”

I think his art should become life. I’d like to see the columns lit up in Rainbow colors next year as we celebrate Obama’s second term, and LGBT Pride.
Amirite?
