I think they expunged it because the general was not the cool,charming,good-looking,physically fit,smooth,eloquent and bright person that the homosexual community prefers to use as representative of homosexuals.

Instead he was an old,disheveled,gravelly voiced,unattractive,inarticulate,grand standing bozo that asked a nonsensical question.

Furthermore,Cooper chose to prolong this poor speciman's minutes of "face time" by giving him the mike after the question had been dealt with quite adequately and the old coot went blithering on. I bet every gay and gay sympathizer got word to CNN to deep six the whole encounter.

If he had been appealing,they would have let it stand and toughed it out. As it was,it was to the Republicans benefit had they kept it. If Republicans were smart they would demand that it be put back in.

If I were a Democrat or a homosexual I would demand that Cooper be fired for making such a dumb,transparent move and aiding the enemy so to speak.

You are absolutely right.

“If Republicans were smart they would demand that it be put back in.”

I’m sure that footage of the bumbling old queen will appear in future campaign materials, on the Republican side.

The farcical old fruit might become the Willie (pardon the pun) Horton of 2008.

The voice . . . the voice . . . I knew there was something about that voice! It was way back years ago. I was on liberty in Boston one night. I had just passed this dark alley when I heard this gravelly voice emanating from behind a dumpster . . . it had a strange, pleading quality to it. I . . . , oh, never mind. It was probably somebody else anyway.

You are right. Sly tactics often turn around to bite the perpetrator.
