Ellen Degenerate burst on the scene two decades ago aided by her lover Anne Heche. But three years of Ellen was enough to scare Anne straight enough to marry and later produce two children. True, Anne Heche is somewhat mixed up.
Yes, Ellen is America’s best-loved carpet muncher (wasn’t that said of A. Hitler?) just like Pete Seeger was America’s best-loved commie. Doesn’t make them mainstream, though.
