As every good gay knows, the Divine Miss M does not suffer fools gladly, nor does she pull punches. Last night during the most bizarro Miss Universe pageant ever, Bette Midler found the humor in host Steve Harvey accidentally naming Miss Colombia as the winner only to have to step up and announce he’d misread and Miss Philippines had won the crown and sash. These things happen. Well, not usually, but Midler remembered a similar occurrence 15 years ago that haunts us to this very day.

Here’s her tweet:
Wrong #MissUniverse crowned last night. For 2 minutes. Remember when that happened with our President in 2000 & we had to keep him 8 years?

This is hardly Bette’s first tweet inspired by political outrage. Back in August she drew a comparison between rocker Lenny Kravitz’s infamous peen slip and the GOP presidential debate.
Lenny Kravitz’s penis slipped out on stage? So what? Wait for the GOP Debate on tonight – there will be 10 dicks on stage! — Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) August 6, 2015
The Divine One is going to make the coming election year much more tolerable.

Hahhahhhahhahahahah!
The joke about the republican debate is the best one. But yea true about that jackass Dubya. And the ten dicks at the GOP debate want us to forgot about how awful Dubya was… as if any of those clowns would be any better.

I wonder if the envelope for the 1979 Best Actress Oscar could have been misread? That’s the only logical explanation.

Bette can be entertaining yes, but I can not forget her response when asked in an interview by Larry King if she supported gay marriage. After she bumbled very very badly, Larry even changed the subject to give her pause to think more on it, or back out and save her ass, and she still could not answer. When someone reveals their true self, I believe them. Her sweaty squirming discomfort is palpable.
She was no ally, strange as it is.
Look it up on youtube, search “Midler on gay marriage”
X Fan.

Judge Judy asked the same question….. no stumbling no sweating, no quick topic change. Simple question, simple answer.
Look up on youtube…

Bette is that a lace front wig?

I had a post here regarding what Midler said and an article… And now that post disappeared. Meh… What a fucking waste of time this site is.

@Giancarlo85: And you help it be so…

Good God she’s ugly.
@NoCagada: Agreed.

@Giancarlo85: Oh Jesus, let’s all stop what we’re doing and find Giancaro’s missing post. Did those dastardly Rubublicans hack into Queerty and steal your precious thoughts? Again?
Giancarlo85
@ButtStuff: you are one incredibly dangerous and unstable person. I hope the authorities are looking into you. You seem very unhinged.

Normally Bette is funny but the way she and most other people talk about politics these days is tiresome. Bette is also homophobic and is not for same gender marriage.
Giancarlo85
@alphacentauri: wrong. She spoke out for LGBt equality in America and throughout the world in a 2012 interview. In addition, nobody cares what some consider tiresome. Celebrities has as much right to voice opinions as anyone else.

@alphacentauri: She’s a very talented person but she’s really lowering herself with all this tweety business, going after Justin Bieber and everybody else. She should stay more aloof.

Gay repubs love to point out that a democrat or liberal is revealed to be ambivalent about gay marriage in the past, when, hey, many straight people were. (Even those in our own families, folks!) Meanwhile, most elected republicans and all those running for prez remain anti-gay marriage. Stand up to your own party m.f*#krs. Change it from within. . .
alphacentauri
@Giancarlo85: I meant before 2012 on Larry King when she said how same gender marriage would not work since men all cheat on each other.
Giancarlo85
@alphacentauri: She evolved just like a good portion of America who changed their perceptions and so did Obama.
@Sansacro: Yeah funny isn’t it? Gay republicans like Alphacentauri who support people like Donald Trump… Trump and every single republican candidate is vehemently anti-gay and anti-equality. Go figure…
But they can’t change it… it’s already broken.
