8. CNN showed a Twitter from 'Jesus Christ' that said Ken wasn't going to hell
because he's gay, but because he's an ASSHOLE. Of course they had hole blacked out. I about fell off the chair laughing.

16. It wasn't Me!
I hate Twitter. One of the biggest wastes of time you mortals have come up with in recent years.

Good to hear that Ken is finally being honest with himself though.

And for the record....... yes you are more likely to go to Hell for being an asshole than for being born gay.

28. Gay people say: ''Fuck no we don't want him.''. Would be my guess since
I can't speak for gay people.

35. Having been in gay rights orgs back in the 80s i knew that already.
Edited on Wed Aug-25-10 11:11 PM by Mimosa
That's the biggest open secret ever. *yawn*

I guess everybody is rejoicing or whatever that he announced what many (inside gay orgs) people knew in the late 1990s?

*edited for spelling*

Next thing you know Boehner will admit that he's orange.

39. Shock, horror!
I'm sure this well known inside the Beltway, just like I'm sure Ronnie & Nancy always knew Rock Hudson was gay.

The real question is: when are Rove and Rush gonna come out?

The clowns commenting on AOL are sure this is a Demmycrat planted story. I can't take Free Republic, but I do love reading the RW comments on AOL. EVERYTHING is Obama's fault there, not just the political stuff. It's freakin' heelarious!
