Trapped in John McCain’s Closet
John McCain, October 2006:
The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says, Senator, we ought to change the policy, then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it because those leaders in the military are the ones we give the responsibility to.
Mike Mullen, JCS chairman, Tuesday:
No matter how I look at the issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens… Allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do.
John McCain, June 2009:
My opinion is shaped by the view of the leaders of the military. The reason why I supported the policy to start with is because General Colin Powell, who was then the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the one that strongly recommended we adopt this policy in the Clinton administration. I have not heard General Powell or any of the other military leaders reverse their position… These military leaders are responsible for the very lives of the men and women under their command, and that’s why I am especially guided, to a large degree, by their views.
Colin Powell, today:
In the almost 17 years since the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ legislation was passed, attitudes and circumstances have changed… I fully support the new approach presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee this week by Secretary of Defense Gates and Admiral Mullen.

Is it weird that the picture of that closet just made me cum a little?
@homofascist: I got wet as soon as I saw the shoe shelves.
@homofascist:
that is weird.
@homofascist: @Mistress Cynica: You two are going to get along juuussst fiiinne in June!
@homofascist: I cried with envy. I think that thing is larger than all the closets in my house combined. AND IT HAS A WINDOW!
Fun fact: When I was a lil’ bionic girl, I lived w/ my parents in a 1 bd apartment. The walk-in closet was my bedroom.

@FlyingChainSaw: Yeah. Son of RML was all “WTF?” so we read up on it. Saint Blaze (the new baked boytoy?) was tortured by the Romans with iron combs. Gotta look that one up and add it to the anal pear in the Stinque Hall of Justice.
