I heard this on the radio today and I’m not sure if it was a parody or what. Has anyone else heard it? The guy who hosted the Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire said that one of the contestants was actually a man dressed in drag and nearly made it to the final ten. I didn’t see the entire show, so I don’t recall seeing any woman with an adam’s apple. What do you think? * * * * * * I’m not a vegetarian because I like animals. I’m a vegetarian because I hate vegetables. ---

What did come out is that the bride was not exactly a Gulf War veteran. She was indeed an Army nurse at the time of the Gulf War (admirable), but she never served in the Gulf. Whether the misleading statements originated with her or with Fox I don’t know. She has also lost her job as an E.R. nurse because of all the press hanging about. I have no idea what she hoped to get out of this, but I think it’s safe to say this wasn’t it. Catrandom ---
