Schlong-Gobbling GOP Florida Governor Gets Outed By Man Lovers in Movie About Homohypocrisy

Will Pacino play Crist in the miniseries?

@nojo:
Gives new meaning to “Say hello to my little friend.”

@nojo: I was thinking about this guy, and Alec Baldwin can play Jeb.

I am listening to the interview with the director of this movie that Terry Gross did yesterday on Fresh Air. So interesting.

@nojo: Pacino played Roy Cohn, so Crist isn’t a stretch at all.

@blogenfreude: I do love burying my references. And Meryl Streep would make a great Kitty Harris.

Which leads me to her Wikipedia page:

Kitty Harris was a Soviet secret agent.

No fucking joke. Turns out the other Kitty is the subject of a book.

@Nabisco: I thought the most interesting aspect was Ms Gross’s extreme level of nervousness about the whole subject. Why should you feel you are doing something wrong to describe someone as a homo unless you think homo-ness, in and of itself, is shameful?

I didn’t think the director sounded so great either. It would seem that the entire movie has been ripped off from Mike Rogers at truthout.

@Benedick: Her discomfort seemed to be naming names of people who appear in the movie – like it would be unethical to talk about them if the movie was really just a poorly researched smear job. It is sort of refreshing. Plus I love when Terry gets flummoxed, like when Tracy Ulmann asked her if she was a Jew. THAT was priceless.

@homofascist: My total fave was when she asked Uta Hagen if she would talk about her ‘craft’. “No,” said Ms. Hagen, “you’re only interested in gossip.” Terry G then made chicken noises for a very long time.

I wish I could like that show more. She is sort of insufferable when she isn’t being very good. She can be both. And often is.

Hey Chainsaw, I know how you love the taser stories. And this involves tasers in Florida, speaking of Charlie Crist.

Check out taser story involving Florida jail guards demonstrating tasers on children who accompanied their parents to work for “Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day.” Apparently this happened at three different prisons on that day.

@SanFranLefty: I was watching rednex get tased on the Outdoor Channel last night. New from Taser Int’l: the shotgun fired self-contained taser round, and the “area denial taser” block of 24 remotely fired units. Get some for the entryway for when the Cheney Deth Squads start pulling us out of bed.

@SanFranLefty: @redmanlaw: I can’t keep up. I think these things are used as torture devices – like your video of the naked guy. The ape leaned into his chest and discharged the device in prolonged bursts over and over again even though the guy was completely incapacitated. They’re made for, like, 200 guys on PCP rampages. Even thinking about aiming one of these things at a little kid is proof of insanity. All these cops should be fired. The term non-lethal weapon should be banned from policing nomenclature and these things should be shitcanned. These things are nothing but torture devices for lazy, frightened fuckwitted cops. If you want to be a cop, sometimes it means taking a baton to the back of someone’s legs, dropping them and stuffing them into a squad car or even shooting them. There is something all too facile about plunging someone into writhing agony by pressing a button, something a lazy stupid cop could accomplish while lighting a cigarette.

@FlyingChainSaw: The fact that prison guards tasered visiting children at three separate prisons on the same day is what really blows me away. One incident, okay, that’s horrible but totally unusual. Three separate incidents at three different prisons? That indicates some serious lack of training or quality of employees.

Not to mention a lack of judgment/parenting skills by the parents who told the guard to go ahead and taser their kid.

@SanFranLefty: Yes, oh, yes. It means something much worse: that there is a perception of no risk in using the technology which, in reality, is incredibly violent and potent. These things in some ways are much more dangerous than guns – and that menace is squared by the perception that they are harmless and risk-free, to the extent that three sets of guards aimed them at little kids.

@FlyingChainSaw:

When I was but a kitten, I was working in NYC at a gay club that had a leather night, where, I swear to god, guys would line up to have the butch straight security guard tase them.

I rarely understand straight people, but leather queens? Complete mystery.

@FlyingChainSaw: @SanFranLefty: However, if there were no tasers, we never would have seen Rick Sanchez getting zapped.
