That last story about gays using blogs provides a great segue into this story about the Pentagon's Machiavellian media machinations.

David Barstow's penned a mammoth article this weekend on how White House and Pentagon officials deployed new networks' "military analysts" to spread state-sponsored propaganda. And it's pretty startling…

Did you know it's almost Easter? We didn't. "The Family Equality Council is excited to encourage you to be a part of a White House tradition by participating in the White House Easter Egg Roll on March 24, 2008…With your help, on March 24th, LGBTQ-parented families will fill the White House Lawn, rolling eggs side by side with our fellow citizens." Beware Dick Cheney. [Petrelis]

Some technological savvy jokesters had a little fun with White House spokesman Tony Fratto's Wikipedia page.

Unless the record does, in fact, indicate Fratto sucked off a horse, which we doubt it does. Republicans don't report these things.

Decide Not To Get Involved In Drama

Governmental flack Scott Stanzel released the White House's first statement on Senator Larry Craig:

We're disappointed in what's going on. It's a matter for the Senator and the Senate Republican leadership to address. We hope that it will be resolved quickly, as that would be in the best interests of the Senate and the people of Idaho.

Josh Bolten

White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten – affectionately known to the president as "Yosh" – was included on White House's list of gift disclosures. In there among a shotgun for Karl Rove is a list of Bolten's bounty:

White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten listed assets worth $1.1 million to $2.3 million, including a vacation home in Key West, Fla., worth $500,000 to $1 million. Bolten reported receiving tickets worth $8,000 to the Kennedy Center — two for the National Symphony season opening ball in September 2005 and two for the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2005.

Opines a political-minded Queerty reader:

Do you know many St8 -unmarried (never married) men aged 40's - low 50's whom own homes in Provincetown, Fire Island and Key West?

And accept 8000 bucks worth of Hockey and Baseball tickets…………………opps sorry, I mean theater tickets

No, in fact, we don't. Though to be fair, we haven't independently confirmed Bolten owns homes in Provincetown and Fire Island. (Did you?)

Bonus: After the jump, our reader applies the Bolten edits to the Village People's "Key West."
