Poll question: Did you all think Ari Fleischer was gay?

My gaydar always went off when i saw him on TV. anyone else get that? Now that we have all this about Scott, how did you all see Ari Fleischer?

1. Ari got married - remember

[donheld]

2. Do you know how many married gay men there are?

a bizillion

[terrya]

3. That really doesn't mean anything....Arianna Huffington

can tell you that. :-)

I thought and still think Ari is a big ol' queen.

[gnofg]

4. so

did elton John

[miss_kitty]

5. Not a precluding factor to gayness

he might have felt he needed a 'beard.'

Rock Hudson, Greta Kammermeyer, Cole Porter

[no name no slogan]

12. My wife almost married a gay guy

She was engaged to him for a couple of years, and dated him for a couple before that. He came out to her three months before the wedding.

Interestingly enough, the guy she dated after him came out after they broke up, too.

So far, we've been together for ten years and one week (as of today), and I'm still hetero.

But if she turns me, she gets the toaster oven. :dunce:

21. So did Jim McGreevey - had kids too

:eyes:

6. Why isn't there an option for...

...HELL YES!?

[donheld]

15. too lazy and too late to add it

[Coastie for Truth]

7. Always wondered about Sen Joe McCarthy, J Edgar Hoover, Ann Coulter

[David__77]

8. I hope not! He is a bit "metrosexual" though.

Being gay, I don't want such verminous company.

9. I know what you mean, my friend.

But we have to take the good with the bad. It's nice to acknowledge Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, Willa Cather, Gertrude Stein.

But we also have to acknowledge the likes of Roy Cohn as well. And people like Ari Fleischer. And Ken Mehlman.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Good and Bad in just about everything

BTW I had no idea that Michaelanglo and Da Vinci was gay. Shows what I know.

[Misunderestimator]

16. and J. Edgar Hoover

yep... gotta take the good with the really, really bad. And, yes, from the first time I saw Ari Fleischer... the gaydar went OFF.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

11. Didn't really think about it. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

13. Voted "no"

I never got that vibe. Then again, I had been best friends with one of my best friends for four years and never seriously considered that he was gay until a week before he finally came out. After he told me, it seemed so obvious; so perhaps I can be a little dense about such matters.

14. All the neocons seem latent to me

That military-obsessed but cowardly, bookish type usually is, don't you think?

[Democrat Dragon]

17. of course he is. he's a memeber of *'s harem

along with Condi, Guckhert, Spellings, Pickles, Scottie, Barney, McCain, Leiberman, Blackwell, Scalia etc.

[madinmaryland]

22. McCain & Leiberman are gay? n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. I've got pretty good gaydar, and it went off

Ari is probably closeted. Isn't he married?

[Radio_Lady]

19. I wouldn't presume to know!

I'm surprised that so many people are judgmental about someone who they see only on TV.

I used to have clients in the hairdressing industry, so I knew many were gay or lesbian. However, I could never guess which was which. There were fabulous men and women whom you would swear were heterosexual -- body builders and lipstick lesbians who were gorgeous for their own gender without a trace of accent or demeanor who revealed they were homosexuals. And vice-versa.

My husband and I visited Provincetown, Massachusetts for one of their July 4th celebrations. The town was filled with happy homosexual, transexual, and transgendered people, but darned if we could always make the connection. Two beautiful women, all dolled up with heels? Two women who looked like men? It was "drag city" and it was fun!

Step aside for the truth. Isn't it the freepers who make these kind of superficial value judgments, not us?????? Ari and his wife or significant other should be left alone.

By the way, what is he doing now?

[donheld]

20. It's called Gaydar - if you don't have it

Don't criticize us that do.

[Doctor_J]

25. Is it possible for a breeder to have gaydar?

I think I have it, but don't want to be presumtuous :-)

[donheld]

30. I hear some breeder people do

i believe it.

[underpants]

23. NO he just looked like a dickhead

and is one.

[Doctor_J]

24. * has alot of Nellies around him

sorry if that's not the correct term. Ari, Snotty, Norquist, Mellman, Luntz, Rove. And that Truman Capote getup in late December was pretty bad.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

26. I definitely got that vibe from him when he was doing his briefings, BUT

when I'd see him on a regular talk show, I almost got the complete opposite vibe.

I think it may have something to do with all the sycophantic lying that he was doing when he was doing the briefings. I think his entire character when he was doing that was a front and a sham.

His "actual" persona didn't seem to have that element to it all. He actually seemed genuine.

Just my 2 cents...

[Bertha Venation]

27. Who cares?

Honestly. Who cares? Jesus.

[donheld]

28. "Who cares? Jesus."

I've been told he cares, but you can't prove it by me or his followers.

[Bertha Venation]

29. Heh. Good answer to a post that clearly showed my irritation with this

day.

I need a vacation.

Let me rephrase that.

I fucking need a fucking vacation.
