When news of Ken Mehlman's declaration that he was gay was announced yesterday, no one was more shocked than those that had met him at gay bars all across the country. "The dude said he was doing research," said one gentleman that met him at a gay bar in 2004. "Then, why do you have your hand on my thigh?" I asked. "All kinds of research," he said.
The AP is reporting that members of the RNC are angry and disgusted. "I never knew he was a Queer," said one. "He sure never said anything about it at the steam bath or the night we spent at Motel 6!"
"It's bad enough we have this black guy! Now, we find out this other one was gay all along," said a GOP stalwart on condition of anonymity. "I'm disgusted." "Shut up," his companion said. "Your mascara is running!"
"It's one thing to dress up in your mother's clothes," said another committee member. "It's another to be writing your name and telephone number on men's room stalls. YUCK!"
"The closet is so damn full,I can't get my high heels in it," said a Republican staffer. "You betcha," said another. "See you at the Proposition 8 rally!"
As word spread across Capitol Hill, Congressman Barney Frank announced an Open House for all Republican members of Congress and their staffs. "Come as You Are!" headlined the invitation.
