Pentagon On Lady Gaga’s DADT Rally: Meh (Watch It Live Here)

Lady Gaga’s Maine rally today in conjunction with Service Members Legal Defense Network, to convince the state’s senators to vote for a DADT repeal, might have the Twitter camp (and CNN) in a furor, but over at the Defense Department, spokesman Col. David Lapan says “we’re not” following whatever she’s trying to accomplish. SLDN chief Aubrey Sarvis insists otherwise: “I think they are watching it very closely.” Yeah — WITH UNMANNED DRONES!

What kind of idiot would think that Gaga is trying to influence congress directly? Col. Lapan, nice try at a burn, but you’re missing the point. It’s for constituents to lobby their representatives.

Her participation is entirely appropriate and effective in this case. They are trying to show constituent concern for a pending bill in congress. Your readers should not have to explain basic politics to you.

Why is Queerty so hateful towards those that are allies? Is it because they are actually accomplishing more than the clearly disgruntled editors here? Jealous much?
