Could be pretending the gaydom for political gain. A lot of them are.; 4/20/19, 8:51 AM

This also made me think of this: Pink Flamingoes and the Importance of Eggs.

Bob Boyd said...: The next thing you know, he'll be running afoul of the hatch act.; 4/20/19, 9:19 AM
Sebastian said...: It's the Dems' play for the Althouse vote. Of which Althouse is aware but to which she is not immune.; 4/20/19, 9:22 AM

Afowl.; 4/20/19, 9:25 AM
Ken B said...: This a cafe? It's just a picture so I apply the cafe rule: it is.

Swalwell basically told Dana Loesch, sit down and shut up I want to talk to the man in charge. What Republicans could say that to a woman and get away with it?; 4/20/19, 9:25 AM
walter said...: Egg citing..and sighting.
Then the hen sits on them.
Actually Pete looks a bit Liza Minelli here.; 4/20/19, 9:41 AM
walter said...: ST,
That would really be "taking one for the team".; 4/20/19, 9:42 AM

madAsHell said...: Why do so many homosexuals have girlie eyes?? You know, the come-kiss-me-behind-the-bleachers look? It will just be our little secret! They even captured the look on the Easter egg.

The art work makes me wonder if there is some ratio of eye surface area to face that says.......GAAAYYYYY!!!; 4/20/19, 10:20 AM
mccullough said...: So Mayor Pete’s husband took his last name? His last name must have been impossible for others to pronounce .; 4/20/19, 10:27 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: More of the left's "come worship your Castro-esque leaders" theme.; 4/20/19, 10:37 AM
tcrosse said...: So Mayor Pete's husband wears lipstick? How adorable.; 4/20/19, 10:48 AM
chickelit said...: My gay neighbors are my political barometer of the Left. They festoon their property with slogans and signs, but only in places where it can be seen. Strangely, they haven't signaled support for Mayor Pete, preferring (apparently) Julian Castro. Why is no one talking about Julian Castro? Is he the dark horse candidate of the Left?; 4/20/19, 11:06 AM
Nichevo said...: Oh look, there on the left, I know that face. It's Chucky!

Not to be confused with LLR Chuck (though you never know).; 4/20/19, 11:07 AM
chickelit said...: Sorry, I meant to write Julián Castro. Omitting the critical diacritical is not a grave error, but is acutely offensive to some on the Left.; 4/20/19, 11:14 AM
walter said...: Pronounced Yoolian, of course.; 4/20/19, 11:35 AM
tcrosse said...: But seriously, folks, props to Mayor Pete for being out and proud. My gay stepson has a very highly developed gaydar, and is skeptical about Booker's new boo. Not that there's anything wrong with that.; 4/20/19, 11:35 AM
Yancey Ward said...: "So Mayor Pete’s husband took his last name? His last name must have been impossible for others to pronounce."

I have been trying to determine what the proper usage in this particular case. I have seen male gay couples routinely use the normal wife/husband designations- it actually seems common rather than uncommon- one of each. In the Buttuvwxyz case, I see the "first spouse" described as the "husband", so is Pete the "wife", or is it two husbands? As far as I can determine, no one has asked the question- will Pete be the first "wife" to win the White House?; 4/20/19, 11:39 AM
Yancey Ward said...: Booker is probably kicking himself watching Buttuvwxyz's favorable press coverage- he had a chance to come out of the closet and get that "first gay candidate for president" label all to himself.; 4/20/19, 11:41 AM
chickelit said...: Pronounced Yoolian, of course.

Almost there! It's pronounced Yoo-lee-AN. The accent is there to remind us of the stress involved. Rather like KAH-meh-la. Get it wrong at your own peril, and be prepared to be corrected.; 4/20/19, 11:48 AM
mccullough said...: Booker’s problem isn’t that he’s gay. It’s that he’s single.

We haven’t had a bachelor in the White House in a long time.; 4/20/19, 11:49 AM
chickelit said...: The bland, white world of easy-to-pronounce-names is a thing of the past. Yet another reason Trump prevails.; 4/20/19, 11:50 AM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: Well, there’s gay and there’s guy-yaaay! These eggs are decidedly the latter. As a newly-out friend of my son said when his boyfriend gushed about their two-month anniversary on Facebook, “Don’t be a fucking faggot”.; 4/20/19, 11:56 AM
chuck said...: Over egged.; 4/20/19, 12:01 PM
walter said...: Booker has that bathroom assault thingy err..out..there.
Much distance required.; 4/20/19, 12:03 PM
mccullough said...: Mayor Pete’s problem is going to be he has no kids. That’s a problem for Kamala and Booker, as well.

Trump is going to point this out.; 4/20/19, 12:04 PM
Trumpit said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 4/20/19, 12:09 PM
Tomcc said...: I'm not a twitter user. Can someone translate the "@firstdogssb" for me?; 4/20/19, 12:12 PM
Trumpit said...: I'm sick of all of Althouse's rightist trolls, and their not-so-subtle homophobia and bigotry. Their lame attempt at butt jokes have finally hit bottom. The only good troll is a steamrolled troll.; 4/20/19, 12:17 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: Their lame attempt at butt jokes have finally hit bottom.

That’s too funny. I hope it was intentional!; 4/20/19, 12:20 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Who was the last President with no children at inauguration? James K. Polk in 1844.; 4/20/19, 12:25 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Trumpit, that was fucking brilliant!; 4/20/19, 12:26 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Maybe Pete has his eyes on a 16 year old Korean boy he can adopt.; 4/20/19, 12:27 PM
Yancey Ward said...: At least Clinton didn't have to adopt Chelsea- it was just assumed for legal purposes that she was his.; 4/20/19, 12:28 PM
walter said...: Polk, "Often referred to as the first “dark horse” President"; 4/20/19, 12:29 PM
walter said...: They could "adopt a migrant"; 4/20/19, 12:30 PM
tcrosse said...: Their lame attempt at butt jokes have finally hit bottom.

Trumpit offers a stern rebuke.; 4/20/19, 12:47 PM
robother said...: Trumpit provides the perfect example of how a troll self-steamrolls. Hoist on his own petard. Bending over to kiss his own ass goodbye.; 4/20/19, 12:58 PM
Birches said...: Actually Pete looks a bit Liza Minelli here

Can't unsee it now.; 4/20/19, 1:21 PM
chickelit said...: Trumpit offers a stern rebuke.

More of a stern rebuttal.; 4/20/19, 1:23 PM
chickelit said...: Laugh all you want at the man's unfortunate name, but I am reminded of Major Archie Butt -- a true hero who was whitewashed out of Titanic history (cf. James Cameron), merely because he was white, southern, gay, and in uniform. Butt that was 1912.; 4/20/19, 1:28 PM
Bob Boyd said...: I worked for a guy long time ago who went out with a guide and some hounds and shot himself a mountain lion out of a tree. He got it stuffed by the lowest bidder. The resemblance to Liza Minelli was uncanny.; 4/20/19, 1:31 PM
walter said...: Every time I drive to Chicago I encounter a sign along the highway pointing the way to "Bong recreation area", in honor of Richard "Dick" Bong.

Tomcc said...: So I clicked on the link "firstdogssb" and discovered that it's a twitter account for their dogs. I weep for the future of this society.; 4/20/19, 2:18 PM
~ Gordon Pasha said...: Dave Beiter is ready to kill himself. Liberal Mayor (Boise) in a conservative state (Idaho) - has one of the top 10 places to live. Successful legislator before mayor. Speaks Basque! - try to learn that. RC in a liberal parish, but he's heterosexual. Alas.; 4/20/19, 2:27 PM
Heartless Aztec said...: @Chicklit: Well that's done. Gallantry is officially passe. From now on it's a fight for the boat seat.; 4/20/19, 2:27 PM

gadfly said...: "Boot-Eggs-Eggs", "Boot-Edge-Edge", "Boot-A-Judge", "Buddha Judge" and "Mayor Pete." With or without "2020" added. All because his name doesn't spell like it sounds.

Sometimes simplicity is the best answer and a "PETE 2020" bumper sticker says all that needs to be said - much as "I Like Ike" worked for Eisenhower. Lyndon Johnson didn't have an unpronounceable name but "LBJ" worked wonders.; 4/20/19, 10:35 PM
