Catapulting the Propaganda

[Loosely lampooning this article which has appeared on the front page of Republican’t mouthpiece the Washington Post:

ON THE REPUBLICAN’T FRONT
Foes Use Lott’s Gay Hooker Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him

By funnyfarmer - blogger incredulous that this was approved and allowed to be published on the front page of the newspaper right after the Giuliani scandal came out - almost as if they had to distract the public from the important news of the day!

Friday, November 30, 2007

In his speeches and often on the Internet, the part of Sen. Trent Lott’s biography that gets the most attention is not his continuing racist remarks, but his connections to the gay hooker world.

Since abruptly resigning his position as a US Senator five years before his term ends, Trent, a member of a sanctimonious group of holier-than-thou Republican’ts, has had to address assertions that he is gay or that he had purchased the services of a gay hooker while condemning gays in general and the gay lifestyle in particular. While he publicly proclaims to practice a form of christian religion, Trent’s itinerary did occasionally coincide with known male sex workers during his time as a representative of american taxpayers.

Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Trent (R-MS) is gay, a closeted denier and persecutor of his fellow homosexuals, and that, if he continued to serve in the US Senate, his sexual preferences would be exposed, when the results of investigations in the matter become public.

In Senate appearances, Trent regularly condemns the ‘deviant behavior’ involved with same-sex relationships, and promotes legislation that would criminalize sexual activity between members of the same sex. Trent invokes these opinions as part of his case that he is a gawdly christian, and that he would literally bring hellfire and damnation on earth to the gawdless sodomites in america.

Trent was born and spent his childhood in Mississippi, and he talks more about his southern roots than he does about the possibility of being the latest Republican’t Senator to be publicly outed as a hypocrite in his private life.

Down to the wire

Not a nudge in the past two days and the biggest bill’s due tomorrow. Please toss in a twenty or ten or a five, but only if you haven’t helped out already.

The wolf really is at the door and with 22,000 visitors this month, it hasn’t been enough to get over the hump after a month of blegging. When I’m back on my feet, I’m the sort who’ll pay it forward to others in need, so I hope you’ll lend a hand and finish my fundraising for another year.
