Pretty boys

Thanks to Bina at POAC's forum for this one:

Mr. Bush wandered over during Mr. Reid's chat with the Prime Minister. Mr. Reid introduced himself and shook hands with Mr. Bush.

"Well, what do you do for this guy?" the President asked as he pointed to the Prime Minister.

"Well, you know, sir, I can't really say," Mr. Reid said. "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that, you know, I don't really know from day to day."

This is true. Mr. Reid handles a number of files and performs a number of different duties, depending on the issue and the day.

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

...

For the first time in his life, Mr. Reid had no reply. "I didn't know what to say," said Mr. Reid, noting later that he wished that Mr. Bush had referred to him as a "rugged-looking young man or something.

"But I'll take what I can, I guess," he joked. "When a Texas Republican says you've got a pretty face, then I guess there is just no way around it."  article

I have to tell you, I think the Oaf is a sick man, and I don't think these kinds of remarks are totally innocent nor just plain stupid. I'm not in any way suggesting that homosexuality is a sickness. Nor am I trying to closet sexuality of any kind in any way - you know me better than that, don't you? I say, more sex, less fighting. But a man with a God complex, membership in Skull & Bones, some claims at least of closet sexual escapades, a father heading the CIA (who also had some of those "indiscretions" rumored) and a mother like Ma Bush, a man who struts around in costumes and has "God Save the Queen" emblazoned on his cowboy boots, who is famous for his nasty temper and not even thinly veiled hypocrisy about compassion, is a sick man.

Mr. Reid, you have just been slimed.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
