Oh the left and their addiction to identity politics. It baffles me, it really does. To me people are, well people, I could not give a damn less who they sleep with, who they date, or who they are attracted to, unless, of course they are an attractive women who is into bloggers from Texas, THEN I care!
Seriously though, my reaction to Anderson Cooper exiting the proverbial closet was, one word, “so”. OK, I did say DUH as well, I mean this is not exactly shocking news is it? But the Left, the Left is having Coopergasms
NBC’s coming out party for Anderson Cooper featured soundbites from gay journalists, his being hailed as a “powerful voice” and an “advocate” for the gay and lesbian community, and panel members approving of his admitting to being gay, all on Tuesday’s Today show.
“[H]e will have a powerful voice being an advocate for the gay and lesbian community,” offered Natalie Morales. Ironically, her “Today’s Professionals” panel then brushed off sentiment that Cooper’s “coming out” would hurt his career or his journalistic integrity.
Oh good grief. I wonder if the media says that kind of thing because they are “expected” to? I suppose they think they have to utter such inanities to appear “with it”. Sad that anyone feels that their sexuality defines everything about them.
A few weeks ago Instapudit had a link to a news story that most Americans believe that gays are something like 20% of population because they are so prominent in the media. So, OK, there is another gay guy out there. Who cares!
