Rick Perry Continues To Be NOT Gay. Not Gay. Not Rick. Continuing. Make a Note of That.
Y’all remember back when our friend and occasional snide commenter Glen Maxey wrote a book about his involvement with a reporter to uncover the rumors that Rick Perry has s-e-x with other men.
That reporter was Jason Cherkis of the Huffington Post. And, it is the story that won’t go away.
Arianna Huffington killed the story right before the Huffington Post was ready to print it. She was quoted as saying, “there was no there there.”
Apparently, however, it comes to light that there was something else there.
After Huffington Post reporter Jason Cherkis sent the Perry campaign a list of questions about alleged affairs with men, instead of answers it got a threat. Perry aide Ted Delisi said publishing a story like that would lead to Perry “owning a big chunk of AOL,” which owns the Huffington Post.
Color me shocked, just shocked that some big political wheeler dealer would use his clout to kill a story.
But, Rick Perry is not gay.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
If you remember, she was one of the chief Clinton panty sniffers, never trust anything she says
1I’ve never known a gay person as despicable as Reverend Perry. Funny that he would threaten a lawsuit when he is constantly jabbering about people being “sue crazy”. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.
2And Ted Dilisi is not a jerk. Not.
3Don’t gays have enough problems with discrimination and religious bigotry without having to ’embrace’ Rick?
4Maybe, if they could ’embrace’ Rick by the throat with both hands?
5The story isn’t whether “The Hair” is gay. The story is where a mere Governor gets the money to buy a stake in AOL.
6I don’t care if Rick is g-a-y but I do care that he appears to care more for the super rich folks than for regular folks. All my gay friends are really nice folk.
7Iless has nailed it: I don’t give a fig (leaf) whether Rick Perry is gay or not; I prefer not to think about his sex life in any way, shape, or form, or combination thereof. But where he gets the money to even threaten to buy a sizeable stake in AOL…that I care about a lot. Although since he’s chummy with the Swiss Miss-take of Texas politics and banking, Phil Gramm, I expect the gnomes of Zurich know more about Goodhair’s net worth than any of us ever will.
8There is a lot of ted haggard in rick perry.
9I think Perry’s remark about “owning a big chunk of AOL” meant that Perry thought he would sue and win if the story was published.
Your other story re Mitt/windows on jets brought my 10 year old grandson a fit of laughing he could hardly control Mercy, are we so desperate for leadership in this country that we have to scrape this low in the barrel?
Oh. well. Who said when your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him?
10lless and Elizabeth, I think what Delisi means is that he thinks Goodhair would win a lawsuit against AOL/Huffpo if they published this, therefore own a chunk of them. I think Delisi is bluffing and trying to CHA (cover his a..).
11When I saw Rick Perry gently cuddling a syrup bottle,softly petting it and crooning to it,I thought he was getting in touch with his softer side…and now you tell me THIS? Horrors.
