Bathroom Humor (Except it's not funny)

From my fellow Minnesotan, Tony Dorsano:

GOP Senate candidate in Oklahoma speaks of rampant lesbianism in schools

In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that "lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?"

San Francisco Chronicle story

Tony's Remarks: "We are nothing if not a tolerant and fair nation. It's in our bones. It's what makes America, America. We advance by fits and starts but tolerance and fairness is the great, blessed arc of our common story."

The story continues: " Joe McCulley, school superintendent in Coalgate, chuckled when asked about Coburn's remark.

"He knows something I don't know. We have not identified anything like that. We have not had to deal with any issues on that subject -- ever," McCulley said."

I'm not laughing about this. Are you?

Get Out the Vote

The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at Democrats. The focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America.

The out-of-state firm has been in Las Vegas for the past few months, registering voters. It employed up to 300 part-time workers and collected hundreds of registrations per day, but former employees of the company say that Voters Outreach of America only wanted Republican registrations.

Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats.

We better not let the Iraqis learn about this. They might decide that they want someone else to teach them about democracy.

General Brent Scowcroft, Bush 41 National Security Advisor and Bush 43 appointee to the Forum for International Security--

Can we win the war on terrorism? Yes, I think we can, in the sense that we can win the war on organized crime. There is going to be no peace treaty on the battleship Missouri in the war on terrorism, but we can break its back so that it is only a horrible nuisance and not a paralyzing influence on our societies.

The question is, how do Tom Coburn's sources know all this 'lesbianism' has been going on? Isn't voyeurism, err, illegal? Or are they just making it up?

Who'd want to be a liberal after reading this?

I can never tell if people who say stuff like that are so homophopic that they actually believe it or if they are just trying to manipulate people who are prone to such fears.
