But The Big News Is Bill Maher’s Stunner

Bush says he lied about Rumsfeld last week because he didn’t want to influence the election. Right. And the Prez went on that last-ditch desperate junket to Lastgasp Kansas to scope out a retirement community. Fortunately, since Bush is getting sillier and his lies are getting dumber, Bill Maher offered up a juicy tidbit on Larry King last night that we all can get our teeth into. Right after Maher said a lot of Republicans wanted to vote a straight Republican ticket but they couldn't find a straight Republican, he blurted out that Ken Mehlman is gay. Not that we didn’t know that. But it surely was the first time that the Republican National Committee Chairman had been outed with such authority on a big time talk show like Larry King. I think it might be a good idea if someone…oh, say, a really nasty religious right piece-of-work-prick like Ralph Reed got his own talk show totally devoted to outing Republican hypocrisy. That way, the regular talk shows won’t get all clogged up with the truthtelling orgies that are bound to start occurring now that the GOP is in no position to bring down the IRS, INS, NSA, ATF, DEA, Carlyle Group, Attorney General, Reverend Moon, Rupert Murdock, Robert Novak, Rush, Tucker, et alia on people who tell the truth about White House shenanigans. Because for sure, the Mehlman morsel is just the beginning. And since the GOP made such a big deal about the evils of the gay lifestyle, stories about seemingly straight Republicans having homosexual dalliances are going to hit the news daily. Watch for outings of Generals in the Pentagon and Iraq to put the GOP’s favorite war back on the front page.
