Yesterday, Fox News Greg Gutfeld updated The Daily Gut with a slightly different Gregalogue. He detailed his plans to open up a gay bar next to the forthcoming Ground Zero mosque so as to test the builders claims that the community center is for outreach. On last nights Red Eye, he outlined his plan and discussed it in a typically irreverent style with his guests. While the idea still seems brilliant, the conversation highlighted just how thin a tightrope the satirist is walking here.
Like I said last night, the plan is incredibly clever. However, it is clear that it will only really work if it is seriously about tweaking religious persecution of homosexuals and not just about pissing off a bunch of Muslims. Some of our incredibly astute commenters have pointed out in the still going debate on that post that New Yorks gays arent going to flock to this bar just to be a part of some Fox News guys beef with a mosque no matter how good the music is (and Gutfeld promises it will be great). This is going to have to work as a provocation and a business.

We love the show!
They've been falling all over themselves claiming that it is NOT a mosque, or house of worship. It's a CULTURAL center, don't you know!
Well, BBQ pork and gay bars are part of the AMERICAN culture, so the folks who run them will just be doing a little outreach themselves. ;o)
How about a pig racing ring?
How are you going to get a license for a gay bar right next to a house of worship?
It’s a “cultural center”.
It would be a shame if there was an advertisement for “HOOTERS MORE THAN A MOUTHFUL” was broadcast on loudspeakers 5 times per day, and a real coincidence if it happened at the same time
Gosh I sure hope they don't do that! That would make me turn liberal in a heart beat!. And I also hope they never put their P@#ker in a garbage disposal and turn it on. That would REALLY REALLY make me progressivee!
