Almost offended by this fancy photoshop work of Ernesto Scorsone? Thought so.
Do you think it’s homophobic? Maybe inappropriate in the same way it’s inappropriate to refer to Barack Obama as a monkey?
Is it funny because he’s “gay” ?? Is that what it is? It’s funny to photoshop gay people wearing women’s clothing?
Should we just start referring to every bigot in the state as cake backing friends of Dorothy? Maybe elected Republicans who aren’t secure in their masculinity?
Jesus.

And don’t forget “From that position Beshear could mount a liberal comeback.”
For the nth time, public homophobia and gay hatred is ipso facto proof of closeted homosexuality.

Come on Jake, why is Scorsone off limits?
What, only GLBT Pride Parade Participants can camp it up?
Have we come to the point where no one can poke fun at Richard Simmons anymore?
And what about the trendy rumor/humor about Tom Cruise so popular on one television show after another? Is that off limits too?
At least you opened up a discussion about humor and where it crosses the line. I don’t think mine did, but everybody is entitled to an opinion.
And by the way, my commentary was not critical of anyone and I’m glad at least Yellow Dog caught the humor in my double entendres.
But Barack Obama as a monkey?! WOW!

“From that position Beshear could mount a liberal comeback” is neither funny nor worthy of the appellation “double entendre.”
It’s a slimy slur barely worthy of an Adam Sandler fart movie.

You’re right, Yellow Dog, that’s not a very clever “double entendre” at all. A clever man might have written, “Mitch McConnell lifts Chinese cub bear back over where the pen is for his little purple cock.”
That, my friend, is some clever double entendre. If Republicans were half as clever as they were dumb, they’d still be quantifiably retarded.

Carey, just give in to your urges and quit the self-hatred, OK? You’re not fooling anyone.

In fairness, I don’t think Marcus is gay and don’t think he’s a homophobe in the least. I like him a lot and he and I have communicated pretty regularly.
I just think the photo is homophobic. Doesn’t mean I didn’t chuckle a little bit before my eyes bugged out of my head.

Gimme a break, Jake. The guy’s comment is even worse that his post. Just because he joins you in hating Beshear and loving Grayson doesn’t make him a good guy.

Did I say his comment wasn’t homophobic or that the post wasn’t?
No.
I know him, so I’m just being fair. Has jack shit to do with the governor or Trey.

What a hypocrite. Remember you falsely accused me with being a homosexual and photoshopped my picture with rainbow pins and gay paraphenalia just because I raised concerns over tax supported universities funding far-left wing activism. Physician, heal thyself.

Thou dost protest too much, Edmunds.
Tons of people in the Legislature (mostly Republicans) have emailed me re: you and your shenanigans.
You must still be depressed over the death of Jesse Helms.
