It's Mehlman Monday

Mondays are a bitch

Wonkette and Working for Change both weigh in today on the Ken "Is she is or isn't she" Mehlman, the expected incoming head of the Republican Party.

I differ with Wonkette on one thing. I would loathe Mehlman much more for being gay than for being the head of the RNC. True, the RNC makes it bread and butter gay-bashing, and more. So yes, Mehlman gets no merit badges for taking over the helm of an organization that practices and preaches bigotry (not to mention, he did the same at the Bush campaign). But a gay Mehlman would be even more loathe-worthy. You get extra brownie points in hell for selling out your own people.

Anyway, we'll keep following this story, because it sure as hell isn't going away. It's looking like Ken Mehlman is going to be the Mary Cheney of 2005. The "It" girl for gay America. I'm seriously thinking we may need to throw a party for Ken once he gets the RNC chairmanship. Maybe, as someone previously suggested, we can even give him a little ambiguously-gay pride parade in front of the RNC headquarters.

It's gonna be a fun year.
