October 25, 2006A GOP ad I’d like to seeGot thirsty in the night and moderated some comments while I was up. My email box also contained some piece of rambling craziness about how I, as a conservative, am (of course) a hater of gays (I’ll have to tell my brother) and puppies (I’ll have to tell the dog) and raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, but that we were all going to get shown by the outting of gay Republicans by “the list,” which - I think - must have “outted” a couple of people this week? Did that happen? I wouldn’t know. I haven’t found the “the list” story to be interesting since I outted myself a few weeks ago, along with Roger Simon, Vanderleun and a couple dozen others. It seems strange to me that people who “celebrate” gayness are expending energy outting gay people, as though there is something wrong with them, but if that is what they want to do, and if they are in fact still doing it, then I’d love to see an GOP campaign ad based on Roger Simon’s bit of fun, and that great, “I’m a drag queen,” scene from To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, wherein a whole town of (probably conservative) formerly unglamorous people - newly made fabulous - help out a few drag queens who are being pursued by a stupid hick of a sheriff. Wouldn’t it be great? You start it off with a little voice-over explaining that the Democrats have decided that this is the Gay-outting season and that in the spirit of the thing, the following Republicans had decided to out themselves. Then you have a montage of various Republicans facing the camera: Newt Gingrich: “I’m gay!” Bill Frist: “I’m gay!” Ann Coulter: “I’m so gay, I’m actually a man!” Rush Limbaugh: “I’m a harmless, lovable little fuzzball of gay!” Arnold Schwartzenegger: “I am a little girlie man!” Richard Nixon (with computer enhanced mouth): “I am not a crook, but I’m so gay you can’t stand it!” Rudy Giuliani: (in famous wig from any one of several skits he’s done in drag, and his NY ‘tude) “Come over here and tell me I’m not gay.” President George H. W. Bush: “I’m gay! Bar’s gay, too!” President George W. Bush (clutching Barney): Me and Barney are gay, and so is this kick-ass economy! Heh. It’s a strategery. Meanwhile GayPatriot says it’s the HRC doing all this. Whenever I see HRC, I think Hillary. Better to spell it out, I guess! http://theanchoressonline.com/2006/10/25/a-gop-ad-id-like-to-see/trackback/ 6 Responses to “A GOP ad I’d like to see” |

‘Dudes, let’s do some polling!’
STACLU has done a remarkable public service in dissecting the latest Newsweek poll. Now, I’m going from memory here, but I think it broke down like this…

[...] I thought it would make a great counterpunch. And then, I read The Anchoress‘ idea, which is similar, but uses a much more contemporary movie reference. [...]

I have read about this alleged list of gay Republicans on the Hill but don’t know if it has been released yet. I understand it is circulating amongst the various offices. The guy behind this is gay and I don’t understand the logic. If we are to be accepting of gays, which I would argue the majority of Americans are, then why do we have to continue with all the stupid stunts? Like when Kerry felt it was fine to name the Cheney daughter as a lesbian, which dragged a child of a politican into the debate. The old stereotypes of conservatives just don’t work anymore.

[...] The Anchoress has written a funny script for a GOP ad she’d like to see. MJ Fox is confusing the stem cell debate for alot of people, just to pull a few votes for Democratic pals. Bethany (isn’t she cute? Smart, too!) over at HotAir takes on politicians who briefly darken church doors to trawl for votes. “Modern day evangelicals expect more of their politicians than just church appearances. They expect integrity, character and consistency…above reproach and represent a contrast to perceived moral and ethical deficiencies in the political arena today…accountable for their actions in Washington and in their home district” [...]
