Probably the black guy on the right, right behind the biker.
Amanda Carpenter breathlessly (because that is her style no matter how banal the story) reports that tomorrow’s Moonie Times is going to own the day with gay:
WashTimes has big stories coming 2morrow: Obama is considering appointing gay men to Pentagon
….and, sho ’nuff they’re reporting it:
President Obama is considering nominating an openly gay man to a top civilian Pentagon post as he seeks to temper growing criticism from gay rights advocates that he has not been bold enough on their issues. [...] Gay rights groups welcomed Wednesday’s action as a small step, but said it only underscores how far Mr. Obama still has to go to make good on his campaign promises to end the military ban and to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Obviously this is big news and NBC should get television correspondent Pete Williams on the story because:
Prior to joining NBC, Williams served as a press official on Capitol Hill for many years. In 1986 he joined the Washington, D.C. staff of then Congressman Dick Cheney as press secretary and legislative assistant. In 1989, when Cheney was named Secretary of Defense, Williams was appointed Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. He also served as spokesman for the Pentagon. While in that position, Williams was named Government Communicator of the Year in 1991 by the National Association of Government Communicators.
[...]
In 1991, while serving as Pentagon spokesperson during the Gulf War, Williams was outed as homosexual by activist and author Michelangelo Signorile
If I remember correctly, the "Gulf War" was that one where the first President Bush totally gayed out on killing Saddam Hussein, and then later Saddam tried to kill Bush, so Bush’s son was forced to steal the Presidency in 2000 so that he could go all Inigo Montoya on Saddam’s ass and that’s how we ended up where we are today so it’s probably Pete Williams’ fault we’re still in Iraq, him being gay and such and such.
Meanwhile, back on today’s gay front, John Hawkins boldly states that he supports DOMA while using some mysterious homosexual secret code-slang that I am not familiar with:
I’m not sure what "cream on the cake" is, but I’m guessing it’s served après-teabagging…

where I come from, it’s called icing, but that’s not how John Hawkins rolls. Where is Freud when you need him?
“Cream on the cake” makes him happy but he strongly supports a federal law impeding equal rights for gay people? That seems oddly inconsistent. Then again I know so little of the republiKKKan world, where straight republiKKKan men dislike women and prefer to have sex with men – apparently different sorts of men – and gay republiKKKan men dislike gay men and gay women to the point where they don’t want them to have basic civil entitlements but they will have sex with the gay men but not the lesbians.
Explaining Clinton’s blowjob to my kids a dozen years ago seems simple in comparison to this deal.
That’s just the republiKKKans. Explaining Obama’s position is fucking impossible. “You’re in love? Great. Here’s carfare and send us the moving bill. BTW, thanx fer the campaign $$$.”
Goddam retarded fucking fucks.
I’d apologize to the Village People, but I think they’d understand:
It’s fun to repeal the DOMA!
It’s fun to repeal the DOMA!
With the majority the Dems have won,
They don’t need no Republican…
I’m still trying to figure out what the “RWN” means after John Hawkins’ twitter ID. I’m guessing “right wing nutjob.”
It’s definitely a right-wing fantasy. Obama has demonstrated that he isn’t going to do shit for gays, except con them out of donations.
Huh. That’s an odd turn of the phrase by John-boy.
No doubt he’s using ORGANic “cream.” In light of the reference to the esteemed NBCer, perhaps Mr. Hawkins was dreaming of putting “Cream of Pete” on his “cake?”
Goopers like soggy cake. Who knew?
Is slap fight and cream Chickenhawkins related to Godlstein?
“…just cream on the cake.”
This from an outfit that hates bilingual education. The sons of bitches seem to have only a nodding acquaintance with their own mother tongue. That’s probably their equivalent of the Masonic Handshake.
yeah .. ditto on the rwn .. i was thinking “right-wing-news” ..but “nutjob” is far better .. lol
judging by john’s verbal gushings, I wouldn’t entertain the notion of a wingnut “handshake” without a condom, a hardhat and decent health insurance…
Average White Band reference, perhaps? Does he want a little lick at the creeeeam? In, y’know, a totally heterosexual way?
Well, we all need someone we can cream on…
Whoa! Overcompensate much, Mr. Hawkins?
