WASHINGTON - Shock-pundit Ann Coulter dismayed her right-wing fans today when she admitted to being a cross-dressing man in Friday's press conference. "This started as a joke, as satire, and I think that it has just gone to far." he said to a startled press.


Ann Coulter was born Fredrick Guebermann, of Des Moines, IA. Fredrick moved to San Fransisco on the 1980's to start a career in drag shows. There, he worked under several stage names, including "Crystal Dawn" and "Rosie the Rocket".
"The point of drag shows is to take things over the top, to really push the boundaries of what we think about. Normally, this is done in a very physical way, with lots of glam and glitter. I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to look normal, but act over the top." Ann said to the press.

Coultergeist is at it again, and sinking to familiar lows. Read about it here:

Can someone please hire her a stylist? While a little black dress is a classic, one cannot wear a cocktail dress--especially the same cocktail dress--at any time of day or night. Ick!

Um, o-o-o-o-kay . . .

I think I have now officially seen everything.

On The View yesterday, Rosie introduced a singer she saw on YouTube, who proceeded to perform a histrionic version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls. Now, when I say histrionic, I mean HISTRIONIC--Jennifer Holliday was well-nigh comatose compared to this. It's like the love child of Jim Steinman and Dee Snyder, strung out on acid. See it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbmWxXgw81U, then come back here.

And, yes--it was performed by a guy, whose name is Von Smith.

Now, props to the kid for getting on TV, but that song just does not work when sung by a man--it's rather silly. The only time that song works when sung by a man involves big hair and high heels. It comes across as downright silly that a man would ever be that upset that his woman asked him to leave her. The audience seems really puzzled at first, but gets a little more enthusiastic toward the end when he really does his vocal loop-de-loops

By the way, this kid has other videos on YouTube, including a cover of Over the Rainbow that is just as drag-a-licious. Again, the lyrics just sound silly when sung by a man.

Nice try, Von. Please choose some more appropriate material--you do have a powerful, if overutilized, instrument. You're turning yourself into a one-trick pony without even realizing it.

Perhaps you should look into joining one of the screeching metal bands from the 80s?

Me thinks he doth protest too much . . .

The lawyer for a former Baptist church leader who had spoken out against homosexuality said Thursday the minister has a constitutional right to solicit sex from an undercover policeman. The Rev. Lonnie W. Latham had supported a resolution calling on gays and lesbians to reject their ''sinful, destructive lifestyle'' before his Jan. 3, 2006, arrest outside the Habana Inn in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Authorities say he asked the undercover policeman to come up to his hotel for oral sex.His attorney, Mack Martin, filed a motion to have the misdemeanor lewdness charge thrown out, saying the Supreme Court ruled in the 2003 decision Lawrence v. Texas that it was not illegal for consenting adults to engage in private homosexual acts. 'Now, my client's being prosecuted basically for having offered to engage in such an act, which basically makes it a crime to ask someone to do something that's legal,'' Martin said.

While there was clearly no law broken and the arrest was incorrect, they all seem to be missing the big picture: HE WAS SOLICITING GAY SEX!

Same song, another verse

This quote appeared in an Entertainment article in the Courier-Journal on Friday, not on the editorial page:
We don't usually watch the Oscars," said Vincent. "It's an overly lengthy parade of posturing dilettantes with overinflated egos and a shallow opinion about everything. My wife and I see very few movies in theaters -- a couple a year perhaps -- because most movies are so full of objectionable material."
Vincent also has a beef with DeGeneres.
"Ellen is a very, very funny lady, but she has made some unfortunate lifestyle choices (but then few in Hollywood haven't) and that makes it difficult for me to enjoy her performances." (DeGeneres is a lesbian.)

My response ran on Sunday in the Editorial section:
"For Heaven's sake, where do you find these people? Ellen Degeneres is hosting an award show, not running for Lesbian of the Year. Her personal life is totally irrelevant, and I resent Tom Dorsey quoting a reader who turns an article about the Oscar telecast into an anti-gay forum. Since your reader apparently hasn't discovered this on his own, let me point out that sexual identity is not a "lifestyle choice." Did the man Dorsey quoted wake up one day and say "Gee, I think I'll be straight?" Of course not, and these homophobes who presume that others somehow "choose" to be gay--and then get quoted saying so--perpetuate the hatred against gays and lesbians that we have fought for thousands of years.

Mr. Dorsey, please focus the quotes in your entertainment articles on the subjects and leave the socio-religious commentary elsewhere. There are already enough snide bigots appearing on the C-J editorial pages."
