Kerry Defends Nixon, Windsurfing

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

No thanks. - WonketteAre you getting Kerry Fever again? Neither are we. But the official 2004 Fall Guy is gearing up for another brave campaign to keep Republicans in the White House forever, as evidenced by a) Some minor staff re-jiggering in his Washington office, and B) A craptacular interview in Details, the lifestyle magazine for men who just dress gay.

Asked about his habit of being photographed while “windsurfing,” Kerry says, “I challenge anyone who makes fun of windsurfing to come out and do it with me and see how long they last.” First, that is not our idea of a fun date.

Dumb liberals!

More crap, after the jump.

The Many Moods of Anderson Cooper

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Who among us does not delight in Anderson Cooper’s breezy-yet-caring columns for not-gay-at-all Details magazine, thoughtfully reprinted on CNN.com? He writes on Katrina, on going gray, on his brother’s suicide and on being a Jeopardy champion — each month we are reminded the multitudes that Anderson contains. Multitudes of experiences and emotions but only two facial expressions:

Of course, around here, “Talking sex with Mom” would also have the sad face. If not the run-screaming-from-the-room face. MORE »
