It’s mostly lots of men, arguing passionately, engaging in a fistfight, firing a gun, all very manly things. No, it’s manlier than that - it has TWO female characters. One exists to be kissed and sing one song. The other exists to engage in the 18th Century equivalent of phone sex. It’s a show about MEN in STOCKINGS! And PASSION! Um, I’ll shut up for now. ---

If I remember properly her answer twice mentioned choice. Those are conservative buzzwords . She implied that gays make a choice to be gay. That is not a good answer. It is politically and scientifically unacceptable. She does not get a free ride. ---

I had the hots for plenty of actors/movie characters that were way older than me/out of any league I might ever find myself in/dead/retired/obscure by the time I watched the movie/etc. I loved 'em all, dramas, comedies, beach movies (and yes, Tab Hunter was dreamy), biker movies, action, you name it, I watched it whenever I could. ---

This is funny, [even Fox News](http://www.newshounds.us/2009/05/01/during_her_speech_about_traditional_marriage_fox_displays_large_photo_of_miss_california_in_a_bikini.php) doesn’t take her seriously. > [@](#): > > Oh, those family values folks at Fox News! On yesterday’s (4/30/09) Live Desk, Trace Gallagher and Julie Banderas were all agog over the prospect of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, speaking at the National Press Club on behalf of the conservative National Organization for Marriage. But Fox was obviously more interested in her view than her views. Because about a minute after Prejean started speaking, the screen split and a still photo of Prejean in a bikini, about twice the size of the real Prejean, appeared. It remained for the rest of the clip, about two more minutes. With video. A picture of the split screen is at the link. I have to admit, those boobs are fascinating, I can understand wanting to study them instead of hearing the bimbo speak. They’re so far apart you could stick a third boob in between, and they’re way balloony. Who thought that looked even close to natural? The pageant officials must have cheaped out and only paid for a Boobs’r’us job. ---

The first photo, which appeared just a few minutes ago on [TheDirty.com](http://TheDirty.com), shows a woman — who bares a stricking resemblance to the beauty queen — staring seductively into a camera while wearing only a pair of pink panties and using a strategically placed arm to cover her naughty bits. > > Shame… > > Alicia Jacobs, Entertainment Reporter at KVBC in Las Vegas, has seen all six of the photos and says some are much more revealing.

Her breasts have NOT been artificially augmented. They’ve been born again. I love it when a Fundie Flavor of the Month gets caught in a scandal. Of course, as Joe the Plumber (aka Sam the Sporadically-employed-as-an-unlicensed-employee-in-the-plumbing-industry) proves, no amount of proven lies or ignorance or complete hypocrisy will necessarily make them fall. (His current “no queers near my kids” thing is getting great play in fundie circles, though luckily his wife doesn’t have a problem with lying backstabbing opportunistic losers around them or he’d never get to see them.) ---

I especially like the implied acceptance, like “all” his queer friends understand and approve (apparently) of his adamant refusal to allow them near his children. Heck, who could be offended by that? I mean, if I’ve got leprosy or smallpox, something like that, of course I would understand if some All American, bullet headed Saxon mother’s son wouldn’t want me near his children. I would understand perfectly! ---

Heck, who could be offended by that? One thing you have to hand the Clan Phelps: I think they’re the only high profile homophobes who have never once claimed to have gay friends.
