Translating Your White House Spokesman, Part #128  
(On Bush's bicycle accident Saturday)
Bush was wearing his bike helmet and a mouth guard when the mishap occurred.[White House spokesman Trent] Duffy said he didn't know exactly how the accident happened.

"It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose," the spokesman said. "You know this president. He likes to go all out. Suffice it to say he wasn't whistling show tunes."


Translation:
President Bush is not a faggot. He's more butch than you'll ever be.

It's so nice to know that throwaway bigotry is a part of every day press briefings.
Hey, how about, "Suffice it to say he wasn't eating watermelon and fried chicken."? Or maybe, "Suffice it to say he wasn't wearing any sombreros." That'd be a real thigh-slapper, too.

Because, you know, gay people wouldn't ride a mountain bike, any more than black or Hispanic people would. What the fuck?
 
 
Current Mood: pissed off

Well, this just sucks  
Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin from Babylon 5) passed away suddenly on Saturday. He was a talented actor and by all accounts a very personable fellow. He will be missed.
