Scorn us now all gay apparelby Ed Naha | Jun 16 2007 - 10:47am
At the last Republican debate, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked the slices of white bread assembled on stage for a show of hands: Who would be in favor of openly gay soldiers serving in the U.S. military? Not one hand went up.
So much for compassionate conservatives.
What is it with conservative Republicans and gays? I suppose you could say their reaction is based on fear, ignorance, dat ol' time religion and their desperate attempts to keep their political careers intact. Whatever their reasoning, these gung-ho support the troops guys are actually hurting the military.

Yet another similar plan would attract voracious rats. I'm assuming the enemy troops would be covered with garbage shipped in from Staten Island.
Another bomb would cause "severe and lasting halitosis." While that wouldn't exactly stop the enemy troops in their tracks, it would curtail their dating.
Probably the best from these brightest was the "Who? Me?" bomb developed, on and off, since 1945. Based on the old adage "He who smelt it, dealt it," it would simulate mass flatulence in the enemy ranks. (Operation: Whoopee Cushion.) The government put the kibosh on this one because "people in many areas of the world do not find fecal odor offensive, since they smell it on a regular basis." In short, this bomb wouldn't work in D.C.
