Oh dear what can the matter be?
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Johnnie's so long at the fair.
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons,
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons,
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

He promised to bring me a basket of posies,
A garland of lilies, a garland of roses,
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons
That tie up my bonnie brown hair.


Did anyone see Jeff Jacoby's comments on the
Larry Craig scandal? I mean, even for a closeted
and/or repressed gay man like Jacoby, this stuff
is ROT:

| IDAHO isn't Massachusetts, so as soon as the
| story of his bathroom escapade broke it was
| clear that Senator Larry Craig would soon be
| needing new business cards. Except for those
| elected from the Bay State, US senators and
| representatives involved in sex scandals are
| almost always forced to leave Congress.

Here on our planet, Craig had been implicated in
the exact same "Congressional Page" scandal
as Gerry Studds. Studds was censured, Craig
got away without so much as a wrist slap.

As a matter of fact, the claim is nowhere within
the vicinity of reality! Besides Studds, the only
other "Sex Scandal" involving a Massachsuetts
member of congress was when Barney Frank's
boyfriend got caught working as a rent boy.

Couldn't it be argued that Frank was a victim here?

Anyhow, the closet case DOES have a point if
we limit ourselves to GAY politicians. But the
closet case doesn't limit himself to "Gay" politicians.

| Craig's behavior was lewd and dishonorable,

Being gay is lewd and dishonorable? Well, I
suppose there's a reason Jacoby is a closet
case. Anyhow, if Craig had been trying to pick
up a pretty young woman nobody would have
ever noticed.

| but - have you noticed? - that isn't the main
| reason he has been excoriated. In much
| journalistic and political commentary, the
| senator's real crime is not that he was trolling
| for anonymous, adulterous sex in a public
| bathroom, but that doing so supposedly proved
| him a hypocrite.

And for no other reason than the fact that he was
a gay man who labored tirelessly against human
rights for gay people! WHAT are they thinking?!?

| Representative Barney Frank - a beneficiary of
| the above-mentioned Massachusetts exemption

Clearly, he's restricting himself to GAY people
here.

| - compresses the indictment into a sentence:
| "The hypocrisy," he told the AP, "is to deny legal
| equality to gay people, but then to engage in gay
| behavior."

Not to mention the fact that he upheld himself as
a moral custodian, but is actually sexually looser
than most gay people I know...

| The Idaho Statesman disclosed last week that it
| had undertaken an investigation into Craig's sex
| life after he was "outed" by a gay blogger in
| October. The blogger's goal, the paper said, was
| "to nail a hypocritical Republican foe of gay rights."

Good for them!

| I find Craig's behavior odious, and I think it right
| that he was shamed into leaving office.

Translation: He finds being gay odious, and he
believes that it is right for him (and Craig) to be
ashamed of being gay.

| In the first place, opposing same-sex marriage
| doesn't make someone a "foe of gay rights" or
| of gay people;

It does actually. And that's before we take into
account that he was against ALL human rights
for gay people, including housing & employment
opportunities.

But I've got to stop here. This *** is bad enough
without knowing that it was written by an
effeminite twit who sets of Gaydar from 3,000
yards away. The fact that it's coming from Jacoby
makes it That. Much. Worse.

Here's the printer-friendly version. Go burn your own
eyes reading this facade:
