The White House applauded National Basketball Association player Jason Collins, who on Monday became the first active male player in a major American sport to announce he was gay. “We view that as another example of the progress that has been made and the evolution that has been taking place,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said, praising the "courage" of the National Basketball Association veteran. Carney said that he had not spoken with President Obama about the development but that the White House welcomes the news and hopes

This is such a joke...a total set up. We have this big month-long buildup by the left about athletes coming out. Then the big new breaks that an unknown bench player comes out just before retirement. I’ve never heard this guy’s name. Now, he has years of new income and special honors coming his way.

Obama has a special interest in Gays and Basketball. Look. Here he is with bff Reggie Love playing hoops.

REGGIE: "Uhh Barack? Are you playing with your pocketknife in your pants?"

Oh, and did I mention that there’s a hole in our south-facing radar and it’s believed that both North Korea and Iran have put super-EMP’s in orbit so they can exploit that hole in our defenses and put this country back to the 4th century?

Hate to bore everybody; I guess I’ll just shut up. We just don’t have time to address such puny and irrelevant issues.

Fast and Furious? The drug cartels and their Islamist terrorist allies on our southern border being armed by our own (illegal) government? Nah, who cares about that...

Benghazi? Our heroes left on a rooftop painting targets for a drone that our sleeping foreign enemy combatant-in-chief wouldn’t allow to come and rescue him? Way too conspiratorial to merit a second look....

Now if the president “comes out”, we will all be able to be proud of America for the first time in our adult lives.

Maybe he’ll sing this....

I don’t follow BB much. It seems rather hidden what team this gay is with ... If it’s the Celtics then they deserve to lose it all on Wednesday.

Someone threatened to out him when they found out he wasn’t making child support payments to anyone.

Why is this something the White House should even comment on?

It's all in the wrist.

Why do we have to listen to this cr** day after day. The closet was the right place. Go away...leave us alone.

Is there anything this guy doesn't feel compelled to spew his opinion about? As I once said to a soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, "Do you ever have an unexpressed thought?"

If this basketball player is so courageous, what does that make Barry?

Absolutely!

Bring back the closet!

Like dennis Miller says: “Lord, just give me one day WITHOUT gays!”

They seem to predominate every news cycle and to insert themselves (pun intended) into our daily consciousness.

YUCK!
