  • 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]

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

  2. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:09 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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.

  3. PerhapsSo says at 5:11 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 5:12 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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…

  6. JohnnyMeatworth says at 5:14 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  7. Vanity Smurf says at 5:14 pm, November 17th, 2008

    Who does that midget queen think she’s kidding?

  8. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:15 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  9. randomsausage says at 5:16 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  10. rev_matt_y says at 5:16 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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.

  11. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:26 pm, November 17th, 2008

    wheelie: 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.

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

    The puppies. They are everywhere.

  13. Texan Bulldoggette: 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.

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

    this little kid: smarter than prince.

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

    Texan Bulldoggette: 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.)

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

  17. 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.

  18. The Station Manager says at 5:39 pm, November 17th, 2008

    wheelie: 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.

  19. sevenrepeat says at 5:41 pm, November 17th, 2008

    Prince is a man?

  20. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:41 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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.

  21. El Bombastico says at 5:42 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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!!!

    rev_matt_y: I knew he was a voyeur; I didn’t know he was a witness.

  24. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:45 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  25. The Station Manager says at 5:46 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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.

  26. HuskyMescan says at 5:46 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

    Just never look at him in the eyes:

  27. Gorillionaire says at 5:50 pm, November 17th, 2008

    wheelie: 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.

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

  29. 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.

  30. problemwithcaring says at 6:18 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  31. populucious says at 6:19 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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!

  32. sati demise says at 6:32 pm, November 17th, 2008

    wheelie: 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.

  33. bitchincamaro says at 6:45 pm, November 17th, 2008

    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.

  34. S.Luggo: Hey, hey, hey. That’s In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater at the annual May Day Parade: keeping Minneapolis kids socialist since forevah!

  35. Toomush Infermashun says at 6:50 pm, November 17th, 2008

    PJ: Ha Ha! May Day Parade! My favorite: the Dancing Toilets of 1994…!

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

  37. PJ:
    Socialist? Feh. Pre-Christian Pantheist. This year’s May Day theme was “Marriage: one push broom & one person.”

  38. wheelie: Oh good god you directed me to mfin Perez Hilton’s website and now I’m not only gayer than I was before but I’m freakin blind!!!

  39. glamourdammerung says at 7:23 pm, November 17th, 2008

    problemwithcaring: 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.

  40. Cogito Ergo Bibo: 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.

  41. zetetic: 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

  42. surfacenoise76 says at 9:21 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  43. napalmnacey says at 11:47 pm, November 17th, 2008

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

  44. schvitzatura says at 5:22 am, November 18th, 2008
  45. Check out number 98 on this list: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/djlanda/the_100_worst_album_covers_ever/

    Prince looking as homoerotic as evah!!!

  46. jodyleek: I almost forgot number 82, such as also.

  47. jodyleek: And number one for christsakes!
