I think that ship’s already sailed, gap… don’t think SouthernGent’s really tipping his hat hand here…

Oops…fixed!

Speaking of the National Enquirer……… anyone else see this:
Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency

Seven Percent Solution

And there is a comment there with a link stating McCain’s birth in the Canal zone doesn’t qualify either…

Please, oh please; let us scrap these two and start this election over. Maybe we can get better choices if we can try again.

AMEN!!

they should keep their lips zipped about their personal lives.

Now that would be just wonderful. We should all HOPE for such a CHANGE.

Everybody has gaydar. Just not of the same quality.

So, you’re telling me that my suspicions about Richard Simmons might have a little weight?

My gaydar is 96.72% right all of the time.

If I had gaydar, I wouldn’t admit it.

I think that ship’s already sailed, gap… don’t think SouthernGent’s really tipping his hat here… those who’ve been lurking as long as I have would know that. :-)

SouthernGent, it was two Atlanta natives, one male + one female, from whom I first heard the term “gaydar”… made me laugh out loud! They pretty much had the drop on anybody they met. Both were also in committed relationships but the -dar was ever vigilant.

Speaking of barriers: when are we going to see our first openly gay Presidential nominee? Where are the fevered clamors, the midnight strategy sessions, the expressions of indignant outrage from Dem supporters, etc.?

Everybody has gaydar. Just not of the same quality.

I think it would be another resume’ enhancement. The Hollywood crowd would go wild. And if it didn’t become an agenda I could give a flying flip myself.

Leave their bedroom behavior alone.

Generally, I’d agree with that. But when the candidate’s wife gives an interview and talks about how she doesn’t like to be in the same bed as the candidate because he’s “stinky and snore-y” — it’s going to invite comment and speculation. If they don’t want that, they should keep their lips zipped about their personal lives.

Nah… Its good to ridicule the father of the Year
Hippocricy is best sanitized with sunlight, lots of it, and I don’t care what anyone says it has no place in politics when this guys says he represents ME!

-Wasteland Man.

P.S. yeah I feel sorry for his kids and wife but the shame should be all HIS and he should be rode out of politics on a Rail!

I feel sorry for his children.

He on the other hand only thought of himself.

The Edwards thing was only amusing because of his BS “two Americas” schtick. But for the good of ALL of John Edwards’s children, this story needs to go away. I feel most sorry for this little baby girl.

So Obama picked Biden because he’s the cutest?

Your timeframe is interesting to me. You’ve given Elizabeth Edwards less than 15 years and still talk about postponing other relationships for several years as a non-trivial sacrifice.

Call me old fashioned but that “in sickness and wellness til death we part” still means something to me.

Pics of Ubama with another man? Don’t discount it.

Maybe it’s that limo driver guy. Or maybe it’s this guy.

It’s not even so much about infidelity of that he must love her or whatever. It’s that she needs basic attention, and it’s his duty to give it to her. Yes, it would require a non-trivial sacrifice on his part. It’d be less profound than what she’s going through.

@ SouthernGent on August 22, 2008 at 10:37 PM

You sound like you are very familiar with “the gay”.

muyoso on August 22, 2008 at 10:47 PM

I am. Indeed. Trust me when I tell y’all. I know it when I see it, and I see it with im.

That being said, I suspect that beyond the Wright scandal, the Ayers scandal, the Rezko scandal….. there is a personal Obama that isn’t the persona crafted for the media. Hoping that it gets exposed sooner rather than later.

They’re even lower than The Nat’l Enquirer.

However, if Barry Obama’s “choom gang” started spilling their guts about the Chosen One, I’d bet the Nat’l Enq would be the first to know. They pay big bucks for info if the subject’s a high roller.

*OT, but by the way, speaking of that fish wrap rag TNR, Scott Beauchump is back. Not on TNR this time, but on Radar Online.

The National Enquirer… settl[ed] a lawsuit for an undisclosed sum after it incorrectly reported in 2006 that Ted Kennedy had fathered a love child of his own.

There’s a revelation. I thought public figgers pretty much had to accept and tolerate everything that is written about them.
