by Juli Weiner  

  • Teddy Kennedy is back in Washington. He was welcomed with a banner and brought his puppies, huzzah! [CNN Political Ticker]
  • Looks like the Gays have some more anthraxing to do! Prince, the artist formerly known as a human (in the 70s), is against gay marriage too. [Daily Dish]
  • Terry McAuliffe is running for Governor of Virginia on the platform of thinking he is running for Governor of Florida and just sort of going with it. [Daily Kos]
  • Comically evil military contractor Blackwater USA shipped weapons to Iraq by hiding them in dog food bags. [TPMMuckraker]
  • Here is Tim Robbins, writing a tear-stained blog post about how disenfranchised he was on Election Day. [HuffPost]

The right wing conspiracy to disenfranchise white males who have boned Susan Sarandon never suprises me.

Texan Bulldoggette November 17, 2008 at 5:09 pm

That’s rich that Prince is against gay marriage since he kind of, I don’t know…embodied gayness in the 80s & made a butt load of money off of his androgyny. Shit, he made Wayne Newton look like John Wayne. What a hipp-o-crit.

Just when I thought the post-election tears of hopeyness were done, they brought back Uncle Teddy.

Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

Note to Prince — if you’re going to make shit up about what’s in the bible, people who can read are gonna be able to call you on it. Stick to naming yourself after letters from On Beyond Zebra, okay?

I suppose “God” is fine with women like Darling Nikki masturbating in hotel lobbies, eh Prince? Good to knowz…

wheelie November 17, 2008 at 5:14 pm

[re=178948]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Prince is saying he was misquoted.

JohnnyMeatworth November 17, 2008 at 5:14 pm

wow, and i thought nothing could make me hate “Purple Rain.”

Vanity Smurf November 17, 2008 at 5:14 pm

Who does that midget queen think she’s kidding?

queeraselvis v 2.0 November 17, 2008 at 5:15 pm

Poor Prince still hasn’t gotten over being anally savaged by Morris Day in “Purple Rain.” Oh-we-oh-we-oh, indeed.

randomsausage November 17, 2008 at 5:16 pm

Prince jumped the shark when he briefly dated Sheena Easton back in 19-oatcake.

rev_matt_y November 17, 2008 at 5:16 pm

As a long time Prince fan, I can only say: I love his music. Outside of that the man is and always has been a bit of a nutjob. Worse since he converted to Jehovah’s Witness.

Texan Bulldoggette November 17, 2008 at 5:26 pm

[re=178956]wheelie[/re]: I think he’s just scared the transgenders & gay men will pound his little 5’2″ frame into the frozen ice-covered MN tundra with their size 13 Payless pumps.

Min November 17, 2008 at 5:30 pm

“Teddy Kennedy is back in Washington. He was welcomed with a banner and brought his puppies, huzzah!”

The puppies. They are everywhere.

wheelie November 17, 2008 at 5:32 pm

[re=178970]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: The Minnesota Midget of Music may be innocent of this gay-hatin’ charge, but I’m sure there are other sound and constructive reasons to anthrax him.

capt. tim November 17, 2008 at 5:33 pm

this little kid: smarter than prince.

Rev. Juan MessyCan November 17, 2008 at 5:34 pm

[re=178970]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Afraid, or hoping (and agitating for it)? I would pound his teeny butt just to show him what’s good… especially in those chaps… (all chaps – as in chaparreras, not English lads – are assless by definition.)

Jerri November 17, 2008 at 5:34 pm

Oh, Prince. That’s no way to sell your terrible new book!

S.Luggo November 17, 2008 at 5:35 pm

To be expected. People from the City of Lakes have always been a twee off. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Sky_and_Prairie-Powderhorn-Minneapolis-2006-05-07.jpg

Anyway, whatever caused Prince’s attitude adjustment must be the Twins’ fault. No other explanation.

The Station Manager November 17, 2008 at 5:39 pm

[re=178956]wheelie[/re]: Yeah, I’ll actually believe that he’s misquoted. I mean, I think dude’s the last guy who’d question anyone else’s sexual practices.

sevenrepeat November 17, 2008 at 5:41 pm

Prince is a man?

Cogito Ergo Bibo November 17, 2008 at 5:41 pm

That idiot Robbins was apparently registered to vote in two locations at once, both at his home and office addresses. Or, at least, that’s what USAToday reported. Sorry, but if you try to commit voter fraud, they tend to make it difficult for you to vote. Now, go cry to Susan like a good little boy.

El Bombastico November 17, 2008 at 5:42 pm

I look forward to the ghey-driven bonfires of Prince CD’s. They can have my copy of “Under the Cherry Moon.” Damn Columbia House, I can’t get that reply card back in 14 days!!!

[re=178963]rev_matt_y[/re]: I knew he was a voyeur; I didn’t know he was a witness.

Toomush Infermashun November 17, 2008 at 5:45 pm

Tim Robbins and Prince: Not gay, but, oh so fey!….

The Station Manager November 17, 2008 at 5:46 pm

Another reason I’ll believe that The Artist Formerly And Currently Known As Prince was misquoted is that when you’re listening to his music, no matter who you are, you’re 50% more likely to Pull A Gay and Gay Right On Out.

HuskyMescan November 17, 2008 at 5:46 pm

I still love Prince, but once again, religion has got someone all confused n shit.

Just never look at him in the eyes:

Gorillionaire November 17, 2008 at 5:50 pm

[re=178956]wheelie[/re]: Great – here I had an awesome comment about how Prince could go fuck himself, and probably has, and enjoyed it, wrote a concept album about it and shot a 20 minute conceptual video about the experience, and now I find that he’s ok and the dumb journalista misquoted him. Well still all the other stuff is probably applicable. Also.

johnbpt November 17, 2008 at 6:10 pm

Huh, Prince is a homophobe. Thought he was just a sucky “musician.”

Borat November 17, 2008 at 6:16 pm

My high school history teacher used to work security at concerts. He came back livid after a Prince one basically saying the guy was asking everyone where he could get some virgins, only virgin groupies could come through, and that he liked them because they were ‘tighter’. I had assumed at the time he was referring to girls, but after this news I’m not so sure any more, but it kinda makes me excited and ill at the same time.

problemwithcaring November 17, 2008 at 6:18 pm

The press won’t be satisfied until gay people hate every last black person on earth.

populucious November 17, 2008 at 6:19 pm

Wendy and Lisa will so not be inviting The Artist Formerly Known As Talented to their commitment ceremony now. Is the water warm enough indeed!

sati demise November 17, 2008 at 6:32 pm

[re=178976]wheelie[/re]: Was he trying to get in good favor with Michael Jackson with his Jehovah Witness conversion? I mean, why else would you do that? I would deprogram Prince if he came to my door.

bitchincamaro November 17, 2008 at 6:45 pm

Clarification: there’s Prince, the purplish dwarf who plays mad guitar; then there’s Erik Prince of Blackwater, who smuggled himself into Irag undetected, in a bag of dicks.

Done.

I miss the old prancing prince shaking his money maker like a bevy of bottoms on a gay pride float.

glamourdammerung November 17, 2008 at 7:23 pm

[re=179043]problemwithcaring[/re]: While there does seem to be a bit of hostility in the black community towards gays, I do agree that the media is trying to direct blame away from the more guilty parties.

zetetic November 17, 2008 at 7:35 pm

[re=178991]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Having multiple registrations is not what I would call “voter fraud”. In Robbins’ case it appears he re-registered with a slightly different name and failed to cancel his old one. This happens all the time, and is one reason that provisional ballots were invented. He didn’t attempt to vote twice.

Of course Robbins acted like a total dick, as did the head guy on the Board of Elections, and then they had a dickfight in the press.

Borat November 17, 2008 at 7:55 pm

[re=179162]zetetic[/re]: Thank you for clearing that up. I was worried the GOP would come after me about all the multiple voter registrations i’ve done at reclaimtheparty.com. But how could I say No after all those good hidden wonkette postings

surfacenoise76 November 17, 2008 at 9:21 pm

I’m not at all religious, but there’s something very antichrist-y about Erik Prince.

napalmnacey November 17, 2008 at 11:47 pm

Oh Prince, you on the wrong side o’ town, muthafuckah! (I’d love to punch whoever pointed him to the Bible).

Prince looking as homoerotic as evah!!!

[re=179570]jodyleek[/re]: I almost forgot number 82, such as also.
