Did Joel McHale actually "out" Lindsay Graham at the WH Correspondents Dinner last night?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 05/04/2014 8:38:59 AM PDT by ken5050

Haven't seen any other comments on this, so I thought I'd ask others here what they thought. During his gig last night, Joel McHale appeared to "out" South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham.....(link below)

He refers to Lindsay Graham playing Blanche DuBois in "A Streecar Named Desire.."

And then he follows it up by saying "Lindsay, if you're here now, you can drop character any time now.."

Is there another possible interpetation??

Here's the link..it starts at the 17:45 mark

He made several other jokes about sexual orientation earlier..so he wasn't worried about going there...but the reference to Graham seemed so pointed...is there another explanation? Maybe I'm missing something about the Blanche DuBois characterization..but I don't think so...it obviously means that Graham would be in drag..

Aren’t you fobsmacked by the reality that our WQhite House is now hosting this degenerate obsession with sex and drugs? Do the remaining spiritually alive Americans just wag their heads and look the other way when such filth as this democrips party has installed in government at all levels reveals its degeneracy so openly and with no fear of consequence. Think about what that says about our now lack of taboo structure to define the society! The White House of little barry degenerate bastard boy hosting filth and degeneracy is a show that our society is now at this level of cesspool.

My grandmother used the word “Peculiar”.

I've always promised to never use negative terms such as Barbie hugging Broadway-showgirl tootsie-roll-eating lizard worshiper, a brown-wind-loving pole pushing vacuum-lipped anal warrior, a carrot-swallowing poodle owning skipping little hotdog-eater, a chalk-licking lavender sniffing cheeky merrymonkey pole-vaulter, a cigar smoking giggling little donut-puncher, a Crisco-hoarding, rainbow-prancing, Fucsia Puffed batty boy, a feminine-acting, stick-twiddling parade-marching ball-juggler, a gerbil-feeding flower sniffing rainbow-squatting bottoms-up boy, a giggling little donut-puncher, a glitter-loving tail-tickling Cleveland Steamer pooftah, a ham-slamming organ grinder, a latte-swilling, boy-texting pump-a-loaf bread-boffer, a limp-wristed prancing knob-jockey , a loafer-lightening grass-tickling pounder of fudge, a merrily-hopping NPR-listening musical-favoring chin-trauma patient, a merry delicate lightly-prancing dress-favoring protein-burper, a pearl-necklace adorned tumblebunny, so I wouldn't stoop to calling them names.

I’m partial to “Turd Burglar” and “Rug Bumper”.

That's right; a joke. To which the audience gave a larger chortle/laugh. Why?

Maybe j-z will give him an honorary 5% medallion to wear. Pretty much goes along with what jerry wright was preaching to the obies all those years and the BLT guide book. I can’t believe how divided and hatefilled this country has become over the last 6 years. And it’s only getting worse there mr. uniter. Right on the path for a war between the will do’s and the won’t do’s. aka makers and takers. And it’s mostly from the “progs”.

Why not? Americans generally find the “we all know you’re gay so stop pretending” line of humor pretty funny. And actually we tend to like it more when people DON’T think the target is gay, it’s more absurdist then.
