ABC News, in their Web column on all things political called The Note, wallowed in the gutter today with their advice to those who view tonight's White House press conference with President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to watch for "sheer homo-eroticism" between the two wartime allies.
When one thinks of the great wartime alliances between the United States and Great Britain, "homo-eroticism" is not what one thinks of when Roosevelt and Churchill, and Reagan and Thatcher come to mind. Neither does it come to mind with Bush and Blair, except for the drive-by media.
Text of the ABC News report:
484 members of the Gang of 500 think Tony Blair is smarter, more articulate, more principled, and more visionary than Geroge W. Bush; their Brit counterparts think those Gang members are plonkers and muppets.
All of this will be on display when toothpaste buddies Bush and Blair ruin everyone's evening by holding a plush joint newser after or on Old Media deadlines.
A whole lotta thumbsuckin' going on as everyone vamps for the post-East Coast network news full press conference at 7:30 pm ET.
"This will be the President's 25th full press conference since taking office in 2001. His last press conference was on April 28 in the Rose Garden and was originally billed as just a statement on the economy. That day the President took questions from 15 different reporters," reports ABC News' Karen Travers, rattling off those stats as if they were sports scores.
Do not expect any announcements on troop withdrawals. The White House said Wednesday that such talk is "premature" and that those decisions will still turn on conditions on the ground. But watch closely the nuance, the body language, the bonhomie, and the sheer homo-eroticism (We are sort of kidding about that last one, Mr. President.).

Oh my God .. what despicable filth! They can't contain their bile.
Jeez.........
Gee .. they seems to be snapping
ABC NEWS must be beholden to that creep, this is at least the third time that his name has been attached to a very, very stupid report or e-mail.
That was an act of kindness and consideration to help a frail old man, for Pete's sake.
Up yours.
Yours sincerely,

Please send this message to the appropriate department manager.

While I expect to hear something about the 1st amendment, but that does not mean it is appropriate to say anything, it is merely legal to do so.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
homosexuals at ABC are desperate to have all friendship be confused with sex.
sick puppies.
Bahbah is throwing up in a small brown bag.
I just cannot believe this appeared on a "reputable" site..OUTRAGEOUS!!!
This is unreal.
To quote Madeline Kahn, "No tongues!"
WTH? President Bush and Tony Blair, Homosexuals? That will come as quite a shock to their wives. Honestly I really think that the left's obsession with sex is going to destroy them. How twisted, how vile, how revolting. I good go on.
Blatant disregard for ANY journalistic objectivity.
There are no words to describe this filth. No words.
Making any more of that picture that than is absurd.
I have just contacted their advertising offices and have advised them I will be calling all of their advertisers as possible and supplying them with this "joke" and see if this is the type of "news" they wish to advertise with?
In Reagan and Thatcher case "homo-eroticism" its a technical impossibility
