The repugnant idea that President George W Bush might be gay went across our minds yesterday when we saw the video where he is asked by a college student at a local university wether he had seen the much talked about gay-cowboy film “Brokeback Mountain.”

The guy had a golden opportunity to say something constructive, meaningful, anything. But instead talked about how much he liked ranching. Of what is he so damn afraid?

The public response to the groundbreaking film has been so overwhelming, there is no doubt in my mind that the movie WILL win an Oscar for best film. Besides the obvious boycotting from religious fundamentalists, I’m wondering what the full backlash against this movie will be. Are we just being paranoid here?

Join me, Fausto Fernós and my boyfriend Marc Felion as we hang with Amanda Steinstein and talk about the stammering President Bush, a follow-up on the developing Clay Aiken gay cumrag sex scandal, and why right wing zealots claim that Hollywood is trying to “Homosexualize” America.

Hitch up your wagon to the Feast of Fools.
