It's a Grand Old Fag: Gen. Clark Tried Rear-Guard Maneuver!

By Jonathan Bourne
***Must credit the DRUDGE RETORT***

Impacting hard this morning is a story about Gen. Wesley Clark's attempt last year to switch teams.

After QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY attacked America, retired Gen. Clark thought the Gay Mafia would invite him to join its team.

After all, he'd been a career military man -- a general respected for the way he treated his privates. But when gay friends inquired, they were told: Forget it.

Word was that David Geffen, the Gay Mafia's political mastermind, had blocked the idea. Clark was furious.

Last January, at a conference in West Hollywood, he happened to chat with two prominent "members," Elton John and Mike Piazza. "I would have been gay," Clark told them, "if David Geffen had returned my phone calls!"

Soon thereafter, in fact, Clark quit his day job and began seriously planning to enter BOY MEETS BOY -- as a homosexual.

EDIT FOR THE DENSE: This is satire.

1. Are you sure

you didn't get that from DU?

[boxster]

3. No, but it's here now,

and so terribly helpful.

[MuseRider]

6. It's a JOKE!!!

[boxster]

9. I know it is. And, frankly, it's probably more likely

than some of the stuff on DU lately!

:D

[MuseRider]

13. Sorry

didn't know where you fell in the DU bashing group since I am trying to stay out of it. I wish everyone could relax a bit and you sounded a bit like someone who had taken some lumps.

[boxster]

16. No, my fault.

I wasn't terribly clear with that first response.

[meegbear]

2. LOL!!!

But you can never tell whose "one of the boys".

[boxster]

5. Salon - that was an interesting article, but

they obviously haven't been on DU lately!

[meegbear]

10. I agree ...

been watching this play out. The dust'll settle soon enough.

[Devlzown]

8. Wow! It's rainin' men!

[nostamj]

4. no comment

7. It took me almost 10 minutes...

...to realize you were posting from drudge.com rather than drudgereport.com

Unfair...of course, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this was an attempt at a "real" news story...

[boxster]

11. Give it time. In half an hour, people will be quoting lines

from it out-of-context and claiming they're true.

:P

12. Mike Piazza is gay?

Not that there is anything wrong with that?

[WilliamPitt]

14. Reference to the 'outing' of a ballplayer last year

and Piazza had to say it wasn't him.

[meegbear]

15. Too bad ...

I enjoy a good catcher ;-).
