Hardball: Another douche bag Blue Dog by the name of Dan Boren (OK)

[LiberalFighter]

That doesn't have a clue about why so many of his efn idiots lost. He's blaming it on Pelosi and real Democrats.

[Ken Burch]

1. Oh, you mean Boren, Son of Boren.

His dad was one of the "Democrats" who campaigned for Joe Lieberman against the actual Democratic U.S. Senate nominee in Connecticut in 2006.

[DURHAM D]

3. David Boren helped bring us DADT during the Clinton administration.

Along with Judas Sam Nunn.

[Ken Burch]

4. That was the Sam Nunn who REFUSED to guarantee

That military personnel who testified AGAINST the ban at his hearings would be protected0 from retribution.

I never knew why Nunn was so fixated on keeping the ban in place. What the hell did LGBT people ever do to him?

[DURHAM D]

5. My option - Nunn and Boren are both gay.

Well, I actually know for a fact that Boren is. Always assumed about Nunn.

HOMOSEXUAL HOMOPHOBES ARE THE WORSE KIND OF HOMOPHOBES.

[Ken Burch]

6. That last line sounds like a great theatrical vocal warmup

You'd say it right after you said "Did You Get Your Ticket To Chicago? Did You Get Your Ticket, Did You Go?"
and "You Know New York, You Need New York, You Know You Need Unique New York".

Needs a little more alliteration, though...

Maybe more like "Homosexual Homophobes Hump Humpbacked Huguenot Hoboken Hobos" or something

And, now that you mention it, I can picture both Boren AND Nunn as characters in Tennessee Williams plays.

8. what proof do you have that Boren is gay

share it with the rest of us

[DURHAM D]

10. I know him.

I have been best friends with one of his Xs for over 35 years.

Did you want a link? How about a picture. Gheez.

JFTR - I would not out anyone who is not or has not used homophobia to further their own career.

[davidinalameda]

11. sure

better than just throwing rumors out there

[LiberalFighter]

7. Apparently they didn't do enough to cause him trouble.

[bigdarryl]

2. And he knows no history talking about Carter because Carter DID try to move

to the right thats one of the reason's Kennedy challenged him in the Primary

9. OK Politics

Although I'm sure there are many wonderful progressives in OK, the politics there are positively medieval. Their senators & governor are appalling, and I don't expect much more from their Dem politicians.

Folks, what makes OK so conservative? I know everybody there is not insane.

[Ken Burch]

12. Well remember, the majority of Oklahomans are the ideological descendants

of the people who screwed over the Joad family:
