Drudge Report

PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election.
Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash.
"Hello Drudge,
"After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine.
"After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.
"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."

Why was a woman working at PLAYGIRL?
Isn't that a magazine for gay men?
To: Babu
Awww.... Michele Zip is the victim of liberal bigotry and intolerance. Welcome to the club.

LOL! No,
Playgirl is supposed to be a women's sex mag. Women don't look at porn - or do they? ;-)

Wow. In the liberal world, certain forms of discrimination are just fine.
To: pissant
Good. Maybe she'll stop calling me for a photo shoot. It gets sooo tiring.
To: PBRSTREETGANG
At least we know she's not a lesbian.

Some editor. "Disinterest" means they don't care one way or the other, not the antipathy she intends.

Wait, I thought the left "celebrates diversity"?
Reminds me again that Nazi's and Communists were Socialisms bastard twins.
