The Ring-A-Ding: Haggard Got The Boot, Cheneys To Go Shoot, Gay Groups Wants Florida Scoop

Wow! We here at The Operator are sometimes so confused by the level of self-hatred that some people can carry with themselves. Case in point is Mr. Ted Haggard. Oh, you know who he is. He is the guy whose massuer came out and said that they had been having a sexual relationship for three years and that Haggard asked him to buy the pastor meth. Yeah, that guy. He's also the guy who said it was all untrue and denied everything. Oh, except the accuser, Mike Jones, had voice mail messages and such. So Haggard then said that he had, in fact, had a massage and that he did buy some meth, but he didn't use it. And he's also the same guy that then made a declaration this weekend that, " I am guilty of sexual immorality" and "I am a deceiver and a liar. There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life."

Wow! So the guy sees himself as repulsive and immoral. Just because he likes men. We would almost feel bad for him, except for the fact that he used his position to control public policy and he had a direct line to the White House. So we hope he really hates himself right now.

So you are Vice President, Dick Cheney...Your party is likely to lose control of some of the Congress. Your policies in Iraq are failing and your name is so synonymous with corruption that your picture appears next to the word corrupt on Wikipedia. What do you do on election day? Why nothing would be more appropriate than going hunting with your lesbian daughter. Actually, we here at The Operator think that politically this is the best thing Cheney can do. It shows the conservatives that he still believes in the NRA while at the same time gives them the impression that the best thing you can do for your lesbian daughter is to dress her in head to tow camouflage and make her blend in so she is never noticed. Then maybe you make a bad shot and she ends up in the hospital like your last hunting partner.

Tis the season for coming out or being outed. And Gay rights organization Proud of Who We Are officially opened its Florida Chapter this week, just in time for the mid-term elections. The first item on their agenda- to out gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. It seems lots of young gay republicans are coming out to say that they have had sex with Crist but there has been no word on the subject t form the candidate's camp. We have two words for you Charlie- James McGreevey.
