The good folks at DemocraticUnderground (who’d get a Blog Roll link if they had a dang RSS feed!) post their Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week. This week’s issue is particularly good.
How do the Republicans choose to Support the Troops?
Republican majorities voted last week to “impose an enrollment fee of at least $230 a year on 2.4 million veterans – one of every three now eligible for Veterans Affairs Administration health care
How about out good friend, Jimmy/Jeff “DC Bulldog” Guckert/Gannon?
Gannon appears to be attempting to transform himself from “Bulldog,” the 8″ cut hot military m4m stud, into a red-blooded womanizing good-ol’-boy…. And picking a bone – if you’ll pardon the pun – with Maureen Dowd, Gannon refers to her as “this gal who probably needs a bit of the old Jeff Gannon to relieve some of that pent up whatever.” Uh, sure thing, Jeff (wink). Quick question though: what page of the Conservative Morals And Values™ handbook is that on?
Of course, no idiot list is complete without Ann Coulter:
…now we’re in a bizarre situation where Republicans like Coulter are one day screaming about amending the Constitution in order to discriminate against gays, or telling me that gays are sinners who are going to hell, or that cartoon characters are secretly working on an evil gay agenda to corrupt our children, or that “tolerance” and “love” are secret gay code words, and then the next day they’re telling me that I’m the homophobe and poor gay people like Jeff Gannon need to be defended from the likes of me and my awful liberal friends.
I mean, if gay prostitution is okay – which, according to all these Republicans who are now accusing the left of homophobia, it is – then gay marriage must be double-plus-good, right? Otherwise I just don’t get the argument. How come, according to Republicans, it’s fine for a gay man to sell himself for no-strings-attached sex with other men online, but it’s not fine for two gay men to enter into a lifelong, loving marriage partnership?
