Giggle when you say that, Tucker

Nothing makes me laugh quite like a little gay-bashing humor. How about you?

Last night Tucker Carlson, Dan Abrams, and Joe Scarborough had a falling-down-laughing good time with the Larry Craig story on MSNBC. When Abrams seemed curious as to why Tucker had once indicated a person's sexual orientation wasn't actually anyone else's business, Carlson hastened to reassure him of the most important thing:

“Let me be clear, Dan. I’m not gay. I’ve never been gay. Over-reacted and made a poor decision…” (laughter)

To which Abrams, who isn’t just a big name at MSNBC but an attorney, responded, also laughing:

“And let me just say for the record, I’m not gay either.”

I mean, come on. This is funny stuff. But not anywhere near as funny as Abram's reaction when he found out Carlson has been approached by men for sex in public places; such things have apparently never happened to Abrams. What exactly did Carlson do, he asked, when he was approached?

In the manliest tone possible to use when one is giggling, Tucker replied:

“I went back with someone I knew and grabbed the guy.. and grabbed him… and hit him against the stall, actually.”

Then they all basically wet their pants laughing.

But at least they're not gay. For which on behalf of myself and the entire Queer Nation I offer a prayer of thanksgiving.
