Pat Robertson Embarrasses Yet Again

Perennial embarrassment to the Hampton Roads area, Pat Robertson could not resist putting in his deranged two cents on the Rick Warren issue and the issue of gays in the military. It's pretty common knowledge to those dealing with a full deck - which of course excludes Pat - that there are THOUSANDS of gays currently serving in the military in this area with NO ill effects on the armed forces. Nonetheless anti-gay bigots such as Robertson always seem to obsess over those gays in the showers who might "check out" their straight compatriots. What kills me the most is that all too often the straights that worry about gays looking at them flatter themselves because NO ONE would want to look at them, naked or clothed. We gays do have our standards of male beauty which exclude these idiots. Here are highlights of Pat's latest idiocy:
*
CNN went to longtime homophobe Pat Robertson to get his $.02 on the Rick Warren controversy, asking if he agreed with Tony Perkins that Warren was being used as a "pawn" by Obama.
*
Robertson: "[Rick Warren] has his own agenda. I think he'll stick to it. After all, he's been asked to give an invocation. He hasn't been asked to endorse Obama."
*
As a special bonus they got an answer out of him on whether or not he agrees with Colin Powell that the ban on gays in the military should be repealed.
*
Robertson: "It seemed to be the unanimous decision of the military leadership that the question of open homosexuality in the barracks and the showers was not a good thing for the discipline of the troops."
*
Funny how outed former Congressman Ed Schrock likewise whined about gays in the showers even while he was seeking gay hook ups via Mega Phone. Has Robertson stopped to ponder what that perhaps says about him?

I almost rolled over laughing when I saw the interview on CNN.

Yes, Gays serving openly in the military will mean they will be bobbing each other in the barracks, showers and let's not forget the fox holes or should we start calling them Glory Holes.

Thank God he's in your state.
