Colbert

[novapsyche]

So, last night I was listening to the Colbert Report (because I was online in the dining room, which is adjacent to but around the corner from the living room). Stephen's guest was a gentleman from the Log Cabin Republicans. Stephen was mostly quiet as the guy said what he had to say. I, along with much of Stephen's audience, was a bit stunned.

This guy basically outed several prominent Republicans. At first he mentioned Ken Mehlman, the head of the RNC; that wasn't too surprising. Then he listed Karl Rove--again, to people who've kept their ears to the ground, not much of a shock. But then he listed others, the main one of which that caught my attention was Condoleezza Rice. Then he rounded out his list with Jeff Gannon/James Guckert.

I wanted to find a transcript so I could get exact quotes, but I wasn't able to find anything on Comedy Central's website. So you all will just have to take my word for it that Condi was outed on national (cable) television.

Edit: aiela tells me this was all a joke. So never mind, go about your business. Forget that I was being a political gossip.

Actually, it was a joke - the "guy" was a character from the new Comedy Central cartoon tv show about the misfit superheros.

Wow. I missed that, now you've got me really, really curious. It makes sense - repressives attack those things they can't deal with in themselves.

Oh. Well, that teaches me for trying to watch a television show without actually watching it.

Interesting-- before I read your joke line, my reactino was "you mean there are people who don't know Condi's gay?".

That's what is so great about Colbert, though. It was totally believable.
