Ken Blackwell Could Resist Being Gay If He Had Gay Symptoms, Which He Doesn’t

by Jim Newell  11:00 pm January 12, 2009

I can and will make it fitThis is Ken Blackwell, the man who STOLE THE 2004 ELECTION FOR GEORGE W. BUSH IN OHIO & AMERICA and is now running for RNC chairman. He just wants to let you know that he’s not gay but if he did have the gay “compulsion” he could fight it, and not have sex with dudes, because he’s a tuff guy like that. Not that he’s ever felt the gay disease before, but if he had felt it, you know… the point here is that Ken Blackwell’s a gay!

The Hill comes in clutch:

“You can choose to restrain that compulsion,” Blackwell told radio host Michelangelo Signorile, a gay and lesbian advocate, this summer during the Republican National Convention. “And so I think in fact you don’t have to give in to the compulsion to be homosexual.”

“I’ve never had to make the choice because I’ve never had the urge to be other than a heterosexual,” Blackwell added, “but if in fact I had the urge to be something else I could have in fact suppressed that urge.”

Guess what Ken Blackwell’s doing right now? Um like 19 dudes.

Why do I have a feeling Blackwell had to wrestle with those demon urges many times.

johnbpt January 12, 2009 at 11:07 pm

Um, if it’s true, can we trade him for a future draft pick? Or even for a couple of used jockstraps?

DustBowlBlues January 12, 2009 at 11:07 pm

Is it wrong for he to pray that he be caught in a bathroom coming on to a cop who’s disguised as a 13 year old boy?

Well, he’s a black Republican, he’s used to living a lie.

lovekills January 12, 2009 at 11:10 pm

He drinks teh herbal tea no doubt. What is up with the republicans and their obsession with buttsecks

barrysislamicrepublic January 12, 2009 at 11:11 pm

We need a game of Wonkette bingo…here’s how it works:

Jim gives us a list of a bunch of prominent Republican figures.

We fill out our bingo cards as we see fit (i.e those of you with Craig and Foley on the FREE row would have schooled us all), then just wait for bathroom blowjobs and illegal online kids seks and X off the names as they fall.

This could be great fun.

DustBowlBlues January 12, 2009 at 11:13 pm

[re=216934]barrysislamicrepublic[/re]: Absolutely–bingo. Great idea.

DeLand DeLakes January 12, 2009 at 11:13 pm

Why yes Ken, the gay urge is all the more fun when restraints are involved! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!

chascates January 12, 2009 at 11:14 pm

I have the urge to punch him in the mouth and if I ever see him I doubt I’ll resist said urge.

Ken Blackwell’s NOT Gay Checklist
1) Don’t talk about penis
2) Don’t think about penis
3) Don’t stare at penis
4) Also

[re=216940]chascates[/re]: Ken Blackwell will not stand for your hate crime violence, but he will stand for his own hate crime rhetoric.

DustBowlBlues January 12, 2009 at 11:18 pm

[re=216934]barrysislamicrepublic[/re]: Absolutely–bingo. Great idea.

Holy shit. The asshat who was humiliated by Chris M when said Kevin James, the guy claimed Barry was like Neville Chamberlain, but couldn’t say why, just said on Daily Show that, in retrospect, he should have done a wiki on Chamberlain.

Dear god, a quick modification on my prayer: Put this guy in that same bathroom with Blackwell with that same cop.

Lascauxcaveman January 12, 2009 at 11:22 pm

Look at that purty mouth. It’s a shame to think he my never go to prison and it will be wasted.

OffTheRecord January 12, 2009 at 11:24 pm

[re=216945]DustBowlBlues[/re]: That was the greatest Daily Show segment that I have seen is a long time. It is like he did not even realizes the degree to which Chris Matthews made him look like a moran.

FunkyPalmettoBug January 12, 2009 at 11:26 pm

[re=216930]johnbpt[/re]: He always let the demons pin him while he was face down, ass up-but only if the demons smelled like sandlewood.

Keram2 January 12, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Yeah, sure Ken. You’re totally straight. Next thing you’ll be telling me that Kanye West is straight. Pluh-eese.

MrHacks January 12, 2009 at 11:30 pm

Anyone remember the failed “Day Without A Gay” event that occured last year but didn’t work because no one was Mexican enough to do it? Yeah, me neither.

Just remember, that no one rocks the cock more than Ken Blackwell…except Dick Cheney and George W. Bush.

DustBowlBlues January 12, 2009 at 11:32 pm

[re=216940]chascates[/re]: “I have the urge to punch him in the mouth and if I ever see him I doubt I’ll resist said urge.”

Let me get the first punch. My lesbian daughter was the victim of a hate crime last summer.

If the Minn. police dept had any balls, they would’ve done a giant sting operation in all the men’s rooms during the Repubtard convention. It’d take a paddy wagon to haul them all to the pokey.

obfuscator January 12, 2009 at 11:33 pm

See, you guys? The GOP is a big tent! The RNC chair race has a black fucktard to go along with Chip Salter, the white fucktard!

That’s racial transcendence.

…well in his defense, most Republicans don’t consider themselves gay unless they swallow!

once again, Jim, when you do alt-text, you do it well.

It’s not gay if you pretend it’s a vagina.

WendyK January 12, 2009 at 11:52 pm

Ten bucks sez he’s on all fours choking on a ball gag and taking it like a good little boy from Rev. Rick Warren on the day of the inaugural. In a men’s room. With a candlestick.

I love his denials: I’m not gay. But if I were, I wouldn’t be gay. Or at least I wouldn’t act gay. OK fine, I’d be enjoying some buttsecks but you wouldn’t catch me so it wouldn’t count. I have a wide stance. Tap tap.

chascates January 12, 2009 at 11:54 pm

I wonder if he’s ever tried resisting being black?

Mojopo January 12, 2009 at 11:55 pm

OK. Everyone drink. I will drink twice, just in case. GO!

Say, Ken, is that a Big Tent you’re pitching, or are you just happy to see me?

barrysislamicrepublic January 13, 2009 at 12:08 am

[re=216980]lovekills[/re]: They aren’t drinking threads until you get caught with a minor. Then you can have all the alcohol problem you want.

lovekills January 13, 2009 at 12:08 am

[re=216981]Mojopo[/re]: Of course, the more the merrier (as they say). We get no blizzarly weather in the SoCal, but I don’t work, so what the fuck. Just have to get the other household members off and then….start drinking again. I. guess.

Mr Blifil January 13, 2009 at 12:09 am

Do Repub closet cases think they are really fooling people with the lapel pins? First off Mary, what’s with the starching regimen on that fucking shirt? Second, there’s a word for dudes who wear flashy little trinkets on their clothing to attract notice: “Prissy.”

In terms of coded personal effects, the Republican flag lapel pin should be considered the equivalent of a Red Bandana worn out of the left rear pocket, plus a nose ring, plus a tattoo of a pink triangle across the top of the glans. I mean we get it already. Just go about your business, it’s really not all that dramatic how you like to get your noodle wet.

Mojopo January 13, 2009 at 12:10 am

I’m going to put this Mr. Blackwell on my worst-dressed list. His lapel pin clashes with the pin stripes and it’s giving me ideological vertigo. Knock it off!

ifthethunderdontgetya" January 13, 2009 at 12:11 am

If it was cheating on an election, Ken Blackwell could fail to resist it.

Of course, that’s for Wolverines!, etc.

So totally manly, and such as.

barrysislamicrepublic January 13, 2009 at 12:15 am

Ken is also apparently naive to the Jack Bauer type torture techniques that the gays impose to force you to join their ranks. You think you can resist until Bauer is in the stall next to you at the airport. He’s coercive I’ll say.

Sort of like his compulsion to speak in coherent sentences. Seems to be suppressing that pretty well. I feel his pain. I personally struggle with my po’ white trash background and the urge to go all Britney Spears at the most inopportune moments.

[re=217014]Mojopo[/re]: Right. Like he would believe that. I have it on authority that he re-ups 6 months in advance and became so infuriated when the “Republican of Blue Boy” was delivered late, that he had the postal carrier fired.

I have never felt the urge to employ, then murder an Asian shemale prostitute named Applejuice in Reno, Nevada. I have likewise never felt the urge to put the body in the trunk of my 1976 Ford Mustang and drive out of town in order to bury his/her body under an overpass, just off County Road 72. I have never felt these compulsions, but if I did am sure that I would be able to resist them. Yes, I’m sure I would never, ever, do those things.

KittyLitter January 13, 2009 at 4:00 am

In the photo, Blackwell is demonstrating how if he were gay, he could totally resist the urge to put his fist up Dick Cheney’s gaping asshole after Jeff Gannon finished destroying it, but he’s not gay.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 13, 2009 at 5:43 am

He is so obviously lying. Every time he went to the restroom at the Republican Convention, there was a line out the door of middle age white guys offering $20 to blow him. When the free market speaks….

Ken Blackwell’s wife used to be my mother’s boss, and my mother SWEARS that while he was up in Columbus stealing elections, Rosa was down in Cincinnati shacking up with another woman. This is probably BS, but I choose to believe it’s true because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Neon Trotsky January 13, 2009 at 9:20 am

To test Blackwell’s point, I used my super self-control to restrain myself from breathing. After almost a minute I was forced to take in air in a veritable orgy of ventilation–so, we’ll see how well his restraining the “gay urge” (even though he’s totes never had it!) goes…

totoro January 13, 2009 at 10:24 am

Every single person who has ever touted his imperviousness to gay temptation is gay. It’s an admission in its own terms. That is a law of nature you can print in textbooks right next to e=mc*2.

Godot January 13, 2009 at 10:30 am

Like many African-American men, Blackwell knows it’s not gay if you keep it on the DL.

Since he turned Black and stopped publishing the best and worst dressed lists, he’s been straight as an arrow.

Also, wearing the flag-pin repels the gay rays from outer space.

finallyhappy January 13, 2009 at 11:24 am

just because a guy likes to have sex with men, it doesn’t mean he’s gay. Ted Haggard and Larry Craig said so- the leader of 30,000,000 Christians and an elected US official would not lie. Although I feel like anyone who has to say they are not gay- are totally gay.

You Libtards are ridikilus: Ken Blackwell demonstrates that same determination every day if someone mentions that he is black. He isn’t, of course, but if he was, he would just fight the compulsion by becoming an Aryan storm trooper.

And we’re not so much “hip” and “ironic” as we are “drunk” and “mean”. Which you clearly now know.
