Bunning surrogates: whores and sluts

Dan Mongiardo must be winning. The Lexington Herald Leader reports that Jim Bunning's surrogates are now calling Mongiardo "limp-wristed," and one said, "I'm not even sure the word 'man' applies to him." Did Jim Bunning approve this message? He won't say.

Kentucky Senate President David Williams, who posts his home phone number and other contact information here, refered to Mongiardo as "limp-wristed" twice to make sure nobody thought he misspoke. In the same breath he insists the term is "not a sexual slur," and proudly proclaims "I'm not about to let them limit my vocabulary." He then insists that if Democrats have no problems with homosexuality, they shouldn't have a problem with anything he said.

Kentucky Senate Majority Whip Elizabeth Tori, who posts her home phone number and other contact information here, admits her comments were ambiguous, and said if her comments about not being a man make some people think about Mongiardo's sexuality, "so be it."

So I'm wondering if anyone might want to check in with Senators Williams and Tori, and make sure they know they're a whore and a slut, respectively -- but that's not a sexual slur or statement on their sexual promiscuity. It's just a statement on their willingness to claim to hold the moral high ground when they're spreading rumors, and relying on bigotry and hate to get a fellow Republican elected. Because they clearly think there IS something wrong with being gay. Or at least they're hoping the voters of Kentucky feel that way.
