The endorsement Chris Fahey doesn't want you to know about

Some critics say we don't talk about the issues, so let's talk about them. A looming issue for any candidate for statewide office is gay marriage. One needs to look no further than Mark Grisanti to see what a polarizing issue it can be.

An alert reader from Lackawanna (birthplace of the Blogger), sent me a recent political cartoon from Artvoice Magazine. The cartoon blasts both Catholics and Conservatives. (I guess if you're on the Left, it's ok to be intolerant towards these groups.

Anyway, I don't begrudge groups like the Stonewall Democrats. They have a clear agenda and would be the first to admit it. Made up mostly of homosexuals, they obviously are a strong proponent of gay marriage, and it is their right to do so. The district Mickey Kearns and Chris Fahey hope to represent, however, is predominantly Catholic and predominantly conservative. I don't know if the majority of the constituents in this district feel the same way on the issue as Chris Fahey does.

The constituents have the right to know where each candidate stands on the ssue of gay marriage. Kearns did not seek out the endorsement of the Stonewall Democrats. However, Fahey did, but doesn't want your conservative neighbors to know it. He hasn't mentioned it on any of his fliers or commercials. Here's a comment from Artvoice, which was found underneath this cartoon...

I’m supporting Chris Fahey for State Assembly in the special election in the
145 AD. He received the endorsement of the Stonewall Democrats of WNY and I’m
proud to have voted for him in both the Erie County Democratic Executive Committee and the Stonewall Club meeting.

I hope all you Democrats out there in South Buffalo, Lackawanna, W. Seneca, etc. get out and vote for him on March 20 in the special election.

So when Chris Fahey tells your grandmother at the Irish Center what a good Catholic boy he is, have her ask him where he stands on the issue of gay marriage. I realize many people are in favor of the new law. However, I don't think you can count most elderly conservative Catholics among them. This is a tightrope Chris Fahey has chosen to walk. Perhaps it's why most of his contributions are coming from New York City special interest groups. Interesting.

Gender bender

A Niagara Falls High School student was ordered to take off the high heeled shoes he wore to class today. No word yet on whether they made him take off the pimp style hat as well. In an apparent show of solidarity, channel 4's Don Postles wore high heeled shoes under his desk while reporting this important story...

Washington's Closet Queens

I'm not homophobic. I could care less whether someone is straight or gay. However, some of these Washington politicians have provided some great entertainment during the last few years. It's funny watching these married men, trained to be professional liars, come up with the worst excuses imaginable after they've been caught with their pants down.

The latest one is Indiana Congressman Phil Hinkle.

Hinkle used Craigslist recently to meet at an Indianapolis Hotel with a male escort. After he was caught, he said he was not gay, it wasn't sexual, and he paid the young man $80 to "talk about baseball"...???

Kameryn Gibson, the 18-year-old who said he was looking for a "sugga daddy" in the Craigslist posting, told The Star that he tried to leave the room that night and called his sister Megan after Hinkle identified himself as a lawmaker. He also said Hinkle tried to keep him from leaving, exposed himself and then -- after his sister arrived -- offered them $100 cash, an iPad and a Blackberry to keep quiet.

Before Hinkle Twinkle, there was Senator Larry "Wide Stance" Craig from Idaho.

Another closet freak, Craig was caught in an airport bathroom in Minnesota trying to proposition the guy in the stall next to him (who happened to be a Minneapolis police officer). He denied any sexual intent, instead saying it was simply his "wide stance" that confused the police officer. Sure, Larry. His wife was the only person in North America who believed him.

Let's not forget former Clarence Congressman Chris Lee.

If you think this spaz resigned over a shirtless photo, you're exactly the type of naive person these lowlifes like. Lee resigned because it was about to come out that the married father had a thing for cross dressers. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Initially, Lee tried to weasel out of it by saying his computer had been hacked. When the press wasn't buying it and more trannies started to surface, he finally began packing his bags (and all the whips and chains in them). Lee gets the Bill Paxon/Jim Keane Lifetime Achievement Award for not returning back to Western New York after his resignation.

House member Anthony Weiner is not gay, just a complete idiot.

Weiner came up with a comical excuse after sending lewd pictures of himself to several women. First, he said his Twitter account had been hacked (must have been the same guy who hacked Lee's computer). Then, he tried to say all the allegations were just weiner jokes about his last name. I'm not kidding. After more women (and pictures) came forward, Oscar Meyer finally came clean.

Eric Massa's attempts to argue his way out of a scandal might be my all time favorite.

After a few of Massa's male staff members alleged that he had sexually harassed them, he tried to convince the public it was just a joke gone bad. He said he and his staff members would sometimes engage in "tickle" parties on his office floor. He thought the general public would accept this as him being "one of the guys". Instead, his tales of tickling young male staffers were met with dead silence by most. Massa resigned and was last seen heading towards a highway rest stop...

Dr. Bachmann

Are Michele Bachmann's Presidential aspirations hindered by the fact that her husband is flamboyantly gay? In this clip, he refers to gay people as barbarians. It's kind of funny, because who really cares if he's gay? But it does bring her judgment into question. Do we want her close to the button, when she walks right by his Marilyn Monroe posters and thinks this is the man I want to marry?

Judge throws out the case of the switch hitters

A judge upheld a league's decision to disqualify three men from the 2008 gay World Series for not being "gay" enough. Shockingly, the team in question hailed from San Francisco. You're telling me San Francisco couldn't find nine gay men to form a team? In an unsuccessful effort to sway the judge, the three defendants showed up to the hearing wearing Wham! t-shirts...

Judge refuses to toss out lawsuit over gay softball

A federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by three men who claim they were disqualified from the 2008 Gay Softball World Series near Seattle for not being gay enough.

The men, members of a San Francisco softball team, say they were questioned in front of a room full of strangers about their sexual preferences after a protest was lodged alleging their team had violated a rule that limited to two the number of heterosexuals on any team.

The team has already found at least one replacement for the three...

Massa blames troubles on a vast left wing conspiracy

"Baby Joe" Massa opens up his press conference with "They got you in a vice grip", referring to his contention that the Democratic party used his "gayness" to blackmail him. Apparently, he was thinking about one of his dates last Saturday night. Nobody really cares that he is gay (except maybe his wife and two kids). If it's blackmail, the question I have is, why did he choose to resign?
