Romney: "Strike One"

Jonathan Rauch skewers the hypocrisy of Mitt Romney, who has apparently determined that he's going to ride the anti-gay marriage train to the White House.

Gore '08

I've been saying for months that Al Gore would run and win the next presidential election, and now I'm not the only one. Here's a thorough explanation of the reasoning.

Here's a new way to procrastinate. [note: audio not workplace safe]

This just in....

Not even 18 hrs since the votes were tallied and GWB has canned Rummy. It's overdue. Amen.

Is she kidding?

Notice that as Hillary Clinton is thanking her supporters for "standing with her and standing for change" she is surrounded by...no one. And what's the change - she was running for re-election! I guess this is the kind of double-speak we can exepect when she runs for Prez.

Paging Dick Wolf....

If this tragedy isn't an episode of Law & Order in the making, I don't know what is.

Ha-ha

C'mon Faith Hill - nobody believes you were joking and not just a sore loser at last night's CMAs. Suck it up and say you're sorry!

Gaydar Alert?

Maybe I'm off-base, but don't most of these evangelical "leaders" from Colorado Springs look like they'd be equally comfortable in Provincetown, Palm Springs, or Key West? (hat tip: Pam's House Blend)

Three Times The Charm

Looks like there's a little more room in the closet now that Pastor Ted Haggard has finally fessed up after days of denying allegations that he enjoyed regular sessions with a male prostitute. It's easy to attack his hypocrisy for railing against all things gay publicly while enjoying its pleasures privately. Sully, as usual, highlights the real sin:

 

There is no commandment not to be gay. There is a commandment not to bear false witness. Haggard bore false witness - to himself, to his wife, to his traumatized kids, to his fellow gay men and women. repeatedly, pathologically, self-destructively. The right response for Christians is compassion and forgiveness. But also hope: hope that this will help spread the truth about what being gay actually is.
