Brent Rinehart Defends Anti-Gay Comic
CNN Anchor Defends English Language


Brent Rinehart appeared on CNN's American Morning todayto defend his anti-gay comic book.

In case you weren't paying attention, the Oklahoma County Commissioner, who is running for reelection, published the 16-page book to highlight his commitment to destroying the queers. When asked whether it's relevant to his election, Rinehart insists that it is, because we are in a cultural war. When asked whether he's homophobic, Rinehart played (real) dumb: I'm not even sure as to what homophobic means. But let's just keep in mind that we are in a cultural war, not just here in the state of Oklahoma but nationwide." CNN journo John Roberts does not seem amused. You can tell when he does a little grammar check: "We should also point out that the word pedophile is spelled wrong in the two times that's it's used in this comic book."

Judging John McCain

What will we do with John McCain?

It seems the Senator will say anything to woo conservatives, many of whom worry you're too - gasp! - liberal for the presidency. Today the Republican vowed to take on the dreaded "activist judge." You know, the ones who rule in favor of the flamers…

One-Sided Conversation Epitomizes LI Mother
"All Of A Sudden She's Playing Dumb Now."


New York-based filmmaker and John Roberts revived his imaginary mother for this short flick, "The Phone Call". For those of you who have known a Long Island mother, Roberts hit the nail on the bouffant head.

Would Diana Ross Rule In Our Favor?

Tuesday, December 6. Save the date. John Roberts and the Supremes will be hearing his first case involving those delightful human beings known as fags and lezzies. At issue is whether universities have the right to ban military recruiters from their campuses.

Many universities have of late banned military recruiters because the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy violates their own policies regarding human rights. Dropping cluster bombs on innocent Iraqis’ houses might also be considered a violation of somebody’s rights, but is somewhat separate from this case. The case hinges on whether the Solomon Amendment, which forbids schools receiving federal do-re-mi from barring military recruiters, violates the schools’ freedom of speech.

Queerty wants to stand up, snap an arm forward, click heels and bark “Sieg Heil!” at the Bush administration for bringing this case to court. Clearly, what most concerns Bush in this case is that maximum intellectual and cultural progress be made in universities. Don’t ask, don’t tell, as regards the truth about anything, would seem to be the Bush administration’s M.O. And there’s nothing Queerty loves better than a big old MO.

Out There: Anderson Cooper Cries

•Our lady Gwen Stefani closes out Fashion Week in NYC with her L.A.M.B. clothing line. But did you know the line also features funky men’s clothes? Hunky hubby Gavin never has to spend a dime on new threads.

Brtiney Spears had a – oh, who are we kidding? You were text messaged by seventeen friends within three minutes and you know it.

•Salzburg is planning a museum devoted entirely to the Sound of Music. We hear Austrian native Schwarzenegger is planning to veto the idea.

•Judge John Roberts evaded a question about gay rights during his confirmation hearings. Apparently, he was asked but didn’t tell.

Anderson Cooper is “sensitive,” close to his mom, and as he puts it “(I) just don’t talk about my personal life.” New York Magazine isn’t saying he’s definitely gay, they’re just implying it.
