Though it’s a far cry from an admission of snorkeling, Illinois’ Senate hopeful Rep. Mark Kirk, Naval Reserve officer and liar, told a debate audience last night that he did not know any gay soldiers during his twenty-one years of service. Well, “not openly” gay. Does it count if Mark knows himself?
Meanwhile, Kirk — who actually used the word “cattywompus,” which I’m loving — says he’s going to “read every word” of the Pentagon’s still-ongoing DADT repeal study, which is either an acknowledgment that he intends to fulfill his duties as a lawmaker, or he’s really, really interested in some beach reading about gays in combat boots.
Real Meat
Everyone vote republican this election so we don’t have to worry about all these gay issues being discussed because democrats are trying to bring attention to it. LGBT community is obviously not ready to deal with the amount of patience required to help the democrats pass anything.
