Whew! If we cats were a bunch of homophobes on the Christian right, we'd be, like, so frustrated today. Everywhere we look in the news, we see gay people. Gay marriage! Gay rights! Gays getting their hair cut by Mitt Romney! (Wait... isn't that backwards?)
However, although the dust is starting to settle on yesterday's Obama interview, we have a few gay-related questions bumping around in our little heads. Such as:
Why doesn't Willard remember this horrific hair-cutting incident? Is it because he did it so often that he can't recall? Or is he so absent-minded that if he became President he'd forget where he put the nuclear codes? Or is he just a lying sack of you-know-what?
Willard was the only Mormon at Cranbrook school. What's a minority kid doing picking on another minority kid? Despicable. (By the way, that "if anybody was hurt by that" apology he issued today? Unacceptable. Willard is a soulless, phony, empty person.)
Is it possible that the Obama campaign knew the gay-bullying story was about to come out? After all, the President sure talked about "do unto others" a lot yesterday. God, they're good!
Willard has 18 grandchildren. Statistically speaking, at least one of them will turn out to be gay. Then what?
Finally, where is Ken Mehlman on this? We cats have looked in vain for his reaction, which confirms for us that he's not really out. Sure, he says he regrets the hate-mongering campaign that he helped run for the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived back in 2004. But his party's putative nominee has allowed an openly gay person to be run out of his organization — and now says he opposes even civil unions — and Kenny is silent. Goodness, he might just as well be back in the closet.
UPDATE: Other bloggers have written more eloquently than we could on Willard's lack of humanity. We cats will simply note the Romney campaign's clumsy handling of this story, and — unless you believe Joe Biden's "Meet the Press" appearance was a pre-orchestrated trial balloon — the Obama organization's ability to turn on a dime in addressing marriage equality this week. 'Nuff said.
