KING: One Republican who is staying out of the crowded race for governor of California is former Congressman Michael Huffington. His ex-wife, Arianna, is running as an independent.

Michael Huffington joins us live now from Los Angeles. Sir, thank you for joining us on INSIDE POLITICS. Let me begin with this question. You are backing Arnold Schwarzenegger, not what some might call the established Republican candidate, Bill Simon or Peter Ueberroth getting in. What makes you think Schwarzenegger can win this race?

[Bigg Red]

I'm actually bisexual. I love women. I was madly in love with Arianna when I was married to her. But, yes, I like men also. '


^^
And this jerk is worried that his daughters will be harmed by a two-month political campaign??!! Gee, Mikey, did you worry that your daughters would be devastated by your lifestyle? Apparently not.

[Tribune7]

See, this is SOOOO unfair. I mean, shouldn't a bisexual be legally allowed to marry both a male and a female at the same time?

ROTFLMAO

[Bigg Red]

Men just get phobic and start yelling anti-gay crap just to make sure everyone else realizes they're not gay.

***
Ah, yes, the "homophobia" (literally "fear of same", BTW) argument, the typical leftist propaganda tool. How about this? Maybe the reaction you describe is a normal human reaction to the unhealthy, such as the disgust that normal humans have at the sight and smell of feces. If you found on pile of feces on your couch, I doubt if your wanting it to be out of your space would be a case of copraphobia; you would just be repulsed. And I suspect you would also vocalize your disgust.

I had a boss who was bi-sexual, the only way he could get sex was to buy it.

Or ambidextrous.

[hellinahandcart]

My memory may be a bit off, but wasn't there an article about Michael Huffington last month, where he made a distinction between "homosexual" and "gay"?

And that he was homosexual, not gay?

Meaning he just doesn't like to make the first move, he just likes to make friends with men he thinks are probably gay, invite them over to dinner, and hope they make a move on him?

It was weird. WEIRD.

"There is no such thing as a bisexual, a guy will either suck a d***, or he won't."

Gee, I am so happy Mike is sharing those nasty homosexual diseases with the women.

Indeed, the diseases are ubiquitous, but there are ones that are more readily spread in the male homosexual crowd than just the usual STD's. Due to rectal tissue tearing, the spread of CMV, Hepatitis-B, and HIV are more prevalent among homosexual men than the general population.

Oh! and let's not forget those lovely anal warts...

[iconoclast]

I wasn't aware that there were uniquely "homosexual" diseases.

This is not a topic to be cute about.

The statistically disproportionate incidences of STD's in the homosexual community are sufficient to indicate that certain of these diseases, while not "unique", can be reasonably regarded as societally owned by this community of sickness, sadness, and death.

[Thommas]

True

[headsonpikes]

"...let's not forget those lovely anal warts..."

You do have a gift for a certain turn of phrase.

;^)

[aristeides]

A lot of people on this forum object to the use of the term "gay" to mean "homosexual". I don't see why a homosexual or bisexual like Harrington is not also entitled to object to this usage. (Adopting the usage carries an implication of accepting, at least to a certain extent, gay liberation ideology. I would have thought a homosexual, as much as anybody else, can reject that ideology.)

[Katya]

okay....so you'd rather I had stated "men are sexually obsessed...including a hatred of all acts homosexual, which they spend far too much time thinking about?"

Again...you don't find straight women spending too much time worried about what the lesbians are up to.

[Bigg Red]

...okay....so you'd rather I had stated "men are sexually obsessed...

**

If that is what you got out of my statement, I am astounded.

...you don't find straight women spending too much time worried about what the lesbians are up to.

I don't think any of us normal people spend time thinking about, let alone worrying about, what any homosexuals, male or female, are "up to" except when the subject is forced upon us. Again, I refer to my pile on the couch analogy.
