Great idea on dropping Boy George on Cumming. Throw George Michael in the mix and then it would be a perfect plan. 3 cheers for Leland! Great idea on dropping Boy George on Cumming.

It furthers the stereotype that all gay men think about is cock. I second the idea that he only did it for media attention and that he doesn't care one bit about how much this furthers a stereotype. It's also just not very funny or witty. Of all the things that one could say about Obama, and all the issues in the world to talk about, Mr. Cummings picks this one.

I happen to like him, myself. And yeah, I'd like to see Obama naked. In my opinion, he's the seond sexiest president ever, after Martin Van Buren. Gotta respect the muttonchops.

Take him to top of 20-story building. Drop him on Cumming. Two huge steps forward toward gay rights being taken seriously... What???? We WON against Prop H8TE? There is no DOMA or DADT? Matthew Shepard and Harvey Milk are alive and living together in South America? Never mind. Kidnap Boy George.

Who cares what he has to say? This is the same man who launched a cologne called Cumming a couple years ago. Who in the world would want to smell like that skank? He is delusional and does whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight. Alan Cumming is Z List and he obviously did this for press. Who cares what he has to say?

And Sarah Palin's relative success among the masses was as much to do with her being a MILF as much as it did with her being a headbangingly dim moose-botherer. Speculation about the sexiness of a political leader isn't new or particularly American. Look back through history and you'll find that portraits of kings and princes always gave them generous cod-pieces. @Gregoire: I remember various female commentators rhapsodising about what a great ass GWB had (as opposed to was).

Since we can't tell Alan Cumming's tone when he stated this about Obama...we don't know whether he's joking or not. But still, it's just an expression. I'm sure Obama is smart enough not to give in and actually pose naked. It's one man's opinion - there's no need to use homophobic slurs.

I thought it was a term of endearment when used amongst us, like blacks and the "N" word. I don't see anything wrong with what Alan said. It's not like he came out and gave a speech about our president's genitals. It was probably some random statement cherry picked from an interview. I've always suspected that President Obama's got a big one, too. We’re not allowed to call each other fags? I thought it was a term of endearment when used amongst us, like blacks and the “N” word.
