Limbaugh: The Dem Presidential Candidates Are "Metrosexuals"
Edited on Fri Oct-10-03 12:30 PM by CO Liberal
That's apparantly a term someone recently coined to refer to straights who pretend to be gay.

Rush is lower than whale shit. Three hours a day of hate speech.

1. Rush


No longer makes me angry. He's just a hypocritcal windbag and a complete clown.

His lies and distortions have been so exposed that its almost a waste of time discussing this guy anymore. He's pathetic.

8. His 'ditto heads' upset me more
The complete stupidity of these mindless groupies disgusts and saddens me.
Rush is just a whinebaby windbag who grabs attention by putting on airs and acting like he is better than everyone else. (just like O'Reilly)

40. And That is the beautiful irony here. The ditto-head's straight
talking,tell it like it is guru, has been spouting drug addled musings for the last 4 years(at least) and they lap it up like mama's milk.

It's pretty darn hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

3. Metrosexuals
apparently, Alex Rodriguez of the Texas Rangers and David Beckham of Real Madrid are also metrosexuals.

So if Rush says our candidates are metrosexuals, I guess that means they're famous, handsome well-dressed guys. Not so bad :)

10. What about homosexuals pretending to be straight.


Has someone coined a term (not a phrase) for this?

21. and that word would be?
it wasn't "straight acting"

the poster said "pretending to be straight"

ie, being a hypocrite.

Obviously, I wasn't posting some deranged notion that if a guy didn't camp it up to the gills and utter Warholian "Fabulous! Oooo how Glamorous!" comments he was sad.

41. LOL!
Rush has no children. He's a closet homo. He can't stay married. He pays his ex-wives millions to keep them quiet about his homosexuality. NTTAWWT (Not that there's anything wrong with that). He'd be a lot happier if he'd come out of the closet. Then he wouldn't have to suppress his sexual urges with thousands of narcotic pills.

Rush just said on the radio he had to go to the bathroom--to snort/smoke some more ground up Oxycontin.

He needs more cabbage for another MOTHERLODE!!!

18. I can think of one but it would be nasty to print it here
Edited on Fri Oct-10-03 12:42 PM by goddess40
it would be seen as a slam on church leaders

edit:
if they are 'pretending' then I guess the term would be repressed. It is to sad that people can't be who they are.

7. I was channel surfing this past weekend and happened upon
one of those shows about the rich and famous ("It's great to be ________________", I think) about Schwarzenegger. In the few minutes I watched, they referred to Schwarzenegger as a "metrosexual" because he is so used to being pampered and catered to (they said he has to have his regular pedicure and only has the finest haircuts, wears the finest clothes, blah, blah, blah).

9. They don't
pretend to be gay, they just believe in good grooming and not being slobs.

Strange charge coming from a radio host who has had plastic surgery, diets using drugs, and wears very expensive suits.

12. metrosexual is a straight male with a sense of style
not that Rush the pill popping, lying closet homosexual himself would know anything about it.

I heard a story on NPR about marketing targeting metrosexuals, guys who really pay great attention to style and other narcissistic activities.

15. The NYTimes first used the metrosexual term, IIRC
to refer to ambiguously str8 men. You know, straight guys who use moisturizer and good hair care products.

Rush is perverting the term--of course--because of his moronic mind.

28. Maureen Dowd Applied "metrosexual" to Bush, Rummy, Arnie
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger metrosexual?

Everybody was watching the big guy at the debate on Wednesday night to see whether his high-priced handlers had managed to mold all that muscly clay into Serious Arnold. The tyro Tyrolean pol had to offer more to California voters than the same message he gave to the distressed Linda Hamilton in "Terminator 2": "Come with me if you want to liff."

Let other reporters poke Mr. S. to see if he can go deep; I wanted to see if he can go light. At a cafe the other night, I asked Arnold if he's a metrosexual. Puffing on his stogie, he looked uncertain but intrigued. "A metrosexual," I explained, "is a guy who likes traditionally female activities: manicures, shopping." Unlike most soup-stained politicians, this Republican clearly spends time grooming. In person, he looks a little unreal, like a top-of-the-line Madame Tussaud figure: taut skin, buffed nails, designer shades.

New York Times, September 25, 2003, Thursday

On the defense secretary: "In his own sort of antediluvian way, Rummy is a metrosexual. He works. He may be a warmonger, he may be intemperate, but just about every third woman I know wants him."
...
"Everything else about him just shouts 'Butch, butch, butch!' But to throw Bush a metrosexual bone, whenever you see him walking off Air Force One with that little furball Barney under his arm, that canine puff of air that most drag queens wouldn't be caught dead with, it's like he's halfway to a Chanel rabbit fur handbag.

New York Times, August 3, 2003

29. metrosexual is. . . .
metrosexual
(MET.roh.sek.shoo.ul) n. A dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side.
—metrosexuality n.

Example Citation:


The only problem facing the metrosexual in an otherwise carefree existence is the inescapable effects of ageing. If 30 is 45 in gay years, then 26 is retirement age for the metrosexual — and no amount of biotechnological, rehydrating, whale sperm dermo-care can alter that.
—Jonathan Trew, "I love me so much," The Scotsman, July 24, 2002

Backgrounder:
Mark Simpson invented this term in 1994 (see the earliest citation, below), but it has been picked up by numerous media outlets, including The Observer, The Herald, and Maclean's magazine. Here's Simpson's succinct description of the metrosexual type that appeared recently in the Salon.com online magazine:



The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis — because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.
—Mark Simpson, "Meet the metrosexual,"

the most stupid hybrid word I've ever heard.

Metrosexual? Sounds like someone who likes to get it on with subway cars!

31. Rush is a strung out junkie...
After his show is cancelled and he's spent all his money on Oxycontin, he'll be selling his ass for a hit. He would have to suck so much dick to satisfy that Oxy habit that he'd break Nina Hartley's record.

He judges everyone else, now it is time to judge him.

The Bible

Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

The Bible according to Rush

Rush 9:11
Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country...And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

are now going to be labeled? And what's so bad about being homosexual in the first place?

After only a few days of listening to parts of his program, I hope he drops dead. No wonder the country is so divided, he feeds the beast five times a week. No wonder he's rotting from within.
