I was a big Peanuts fan, too, sir. (Remember how Marcie always called Patty sir?)
I missed first kiss and flashbeagle. Lucky, I guess.
We had books of Peanuts cartoons that I would read over and over. My all time favorite was the "spring is coming" cartoon. It went like this.
Lucy (looking out the window): "Spring is coming."
Charlie: "He is?"
Lucy: "Not he is, it is."
Charlie: "It is what?"
Lucy: "It is coming."
Charlie: "What is coming?"
Lucy: "Spring is coming."
Charlie: "He is?"
Charlie: (smiling as Lucy is chasing him): "Someday, I'm going to drive that poor girl crazy."
What I meant was the gay community was the first to suggest tinky was gay. But when Falwell brought it up, the press was all over him. Your comment that "they can claim that even considering that as a possibility means that you are a homophobe" reminded me of how unfairly the MSM treated Falwell.

Senator Ken Salazar:
Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry (low hanging fruit):
Ben Affleck:
I agree that we should want to know, since so many queers have a leftist bent...to their ideology, to their ideology! But geez, is there any reason to question in this situation if Roberts is straight? The man's happily married with two kids. If he's got a beard in Jane Sullivan Roberts, boy, did he go all out to find a pro-life beard.
I doubt that vetting this guy the Prez would miss something like that. Call me crazy, but I don't think he will be appointing any closet cases simply because Bush is, if nothing else, a committed family man.
That said, I find the whole situation entertaining as hell. This board is hurriedly apologetic for Roberts' illusory "homosexuality," with personal professions of "gayness" running rampant here to the point of making Jeff Gannon look straight. And DU is acting as if being gay is a negative. Where's the band playing "The World Turn'd Upside Down?"
Lets keep in mind that the Left also went on the gay-bashing warpath to "out" conservative White House pool reporter (and fellow FReeper) Jeff Gannon of Talon News.
This is such a time.
Every time this charge is leveled at John Roberts, calmly respond: "So, you are saying that being gay is a disqualifier to any elected or appointed office. Hey. I can get with that. Let's start a movement."
Hoist them on their own petard.
Kerry caused a stir on Wednesday night at the third and last presidential debate when he referred to Mary Cheney (search), an official in the Bush-Cheney campaign, while answering a question from moderator Bob Schieffer, who asked whether homosexuality is a choice.
"We're all God's children, Bob, and I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was. She's being who she was born as. I think if you talk to anybody, it's not a choice."
It was the second time Mary Cheney's sexuality had come up during the debates. In the vice presidential debate last week, Democratic Sen. John Edwards also brought up the vice president's daughter.
"I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing," Edwards said.
LOL!
