Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Try?
Representative Alcee Hastings (D – Florida) introduced an amendment that looks like it would have neatly put a halt to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell investigations, but then he withdrew it under pressure.
Hastings dropped in to bring up some really good points, like if we know DADT is bigoted and we know members of the military hate it and we know most Americans support repealing it, why aren’t we using the quickest means to get rid of the damned thing?
I really, really would like more information on who was against this amendment and why.
Who wouldn’t want the military to stop spending money on finding out who’s gay and start spending it on, I don’t know, something silly like body armor instead?
Did someone tell members of Congress that gaydar is a real thing that gets manufactured in their home states or something?
Ms. Information
Senator David Vitter (R – Louisiana) got caught on the D.C. madam list, and is running for re-election in 2010.
Stormy Daniels, a well-known figure in the adult film industry, may run against him.
David Vitter ran on hypocritical “family values” rhetoric and broke the law when he paid someone for sex.
Stormy Daniels is open about her career as an actress, screenwriter, and director of adult films (How come all the quick blurbs about her in the news just mention the “actress” part? Give the lady some credit.), had sex legally, and got paid.
Also, Vitter has publicly stated that he doesn’t think there’s any issue more important than banning gay marriage. And he flipped out on an airline employee at Dulles Airport when he arrived at his gate too late to make his flight.
