If only Cartman and the kids of Southpark could have been there to tell Mike Schwartz chief of staff to Sen Tom Coburn of OK a few things about why and the other ten to twelve year olds he spoke of, why they use some of their favorite words, and that it has nothing to do with their growing sexual identity. They could also dash his hopes as to why viewing the traditional illicit pictorial material of males will not turn them into that portion of the population which seems to preoccupy a great deal of his time and attention, perhaps he’d have received a dose of reality from a cartoon! I think you will agree he is fairly well obsessed with those among us ‘of a different sexual persuasion’ to quote Ms Prejean loosely. He assured the right thinking and rapt audience that they have
nothing to fear at the Value Voters Summit, and they seem quite relieved that all of science and medicine is incorrect on this one as well. Science has long held this issue to be nature rather than nurture, but he knows better! Of course he had the perfect audience, most being of the Fundie persuasion who feel church and state should be one, if it’s their church and their beliefs, which is
exactly what Schwartz was preachin’ and what seems to fly at the Value Voters Summit.
Washington Independent reporter David Weigel joins Rachel to describe the goings on at this bizarre event, or what he was able to record and snap before he and other reporters were escorted out at the request of the winner of the ironic
“Courage in Journalism Award,” Bill O’Reilly. Perhaps it will make him feel just a little better about the awards Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are racking up, and the long standing feud between O’Reilly Al Franken over a slight exaggeration by O’Reilly as to how many prizes he’d won. You won’t want to miss the thinly veiled ugly side of Roy Blount brought to you in joke form.
