Those are the cutest microphones I have ever seen

Republicans are all bottoms!

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele was on FOX News (naturally) yesterday and he was talking about how there are no "factions" of the Republican party.  A lot has been said lately about so-called liberal issues (liberals, moderates, and otherwise clear-thinking individuals call them "civil rights issues") causing problems for the Republican party. 

One of the big topics in recent days has been gay marriage.  A lot of Republicans are now saying the party is going to have to start supporting it if they want to ever again have any political power.  (This doesn't mean they'll actually support it.  It means they'll openly pretend to support it since their current out-of-touch stance is making it increasingly difficult to win elections.) 

During the segment, Steels made a shocking admission.  He said the GOP had "bottomed and we hope that's the case."  He cautioned, "whether or not you've bottomed or not, you better have something to say to the American people."  (Whether or not or not?)

For years, I've been hoping the Republicans would stop being so anti-gay.  But I never intended for them to all rush out and get fucked in the ass.  I mean, I'm gay and I don't even do it!  But hey, if it helps turn them around (pun intended), I guess I'm all for it. 

Miss California blames pageant loss on her own homophobia

Miss California Carrie Prejean is claiming that she lost the Miss USA title last night because of her anti-gay answer to a question about same-sex marriage. 

To be fair, one of the judges was Perez Hilton so the pageant instantly loses any previous shred of credibility.  And let's face it, a pageant that isn't even Miss America is already skating on pretty thin ice.

During the pageant, Hilton asked her for her opinion on same-sex marriage.  Her reply:  "In my country, and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman."  The audience made some noise but it was hard to tell whether they were happy, sad, or wondering what country she was talking about and how she got in the Miss USA pageant in the first place.  Later in the evening, Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton, having not mentioned whether she's a friend of Dorothy, sneaked off with the crown.

Prejean stuck to her guns in an interview today, telling Billy Bush (don't even get me started on that one) that she said what she feels and was true to herself so she wouldn't have it any other way.  She insists the anti-gay answer is why a prettier girl won instead of her. 
 
Then Prejean said something almost as appalling as what she said last night:  "I feel like I'm the winner. I really do."  For evidence, she pointed to her 200+ friend requests and 1,000 new messages on Facebook. 

Poor, misguided, not-quite-as-pretty-or-smart-as-Miss-Carolina thing!  Looks like someone forgot to tell her the rules:  Being really popular on the Internet can get you disqualified from American Idol but it can't make you Miss USA.
