Speaking up on the issues that matter most…
Like Rosie and the “boorish, ugly dickhead.”
From “O’Donnell vs. Oh! Donald”:
“What’s most painful about the whole Rosie and Donald spat is that it all started by Rosie doing a comedic imitation of Donald and his hair, which, had it been done by Jay Leno or any other less female or lesbian comic, probably wouldn’t have ruffled Donald’s feathers,” said Frank Griggs, editor of the OMG blog.
But Trump’s comments about Rosie disturbed Griggs and lesbian blogger Maria Angeline more for what they perceive to be misogyny than homophobia.
“I don’t know if I’d say that Donald’s comments about Rosie’s appearance are homophobic. Rosie doesn’t look like a supermodel, and perhaps that’s what Donald feels women should strive to look like. Donald obviously thinks his opinion of Rosie’s appearance matters,” said Angeline, who blogs at Daily Dose of Queer.
I’m still gonna watch The Apprentice. I’m an addict. I can’t help it.
*YOU* are THAT Maria Angeline? Who knew? ::swoon::
I’m proud to say I knew her when she was just an up and coming blogger, just beginning to make her presence known in the blogosphere. Now, I’m in the presence of greatness! :)
You’re an addict of The Apprentice? I need to get out more; I’ve never seen the program. For that matter, there’s not a television program currently running that I’ve ever seen an episode of, excepting Jeopardy!
This whole Rosie/Donald thing is kind of amusing. Why should either one of them care what the other says? They’re both celebrities and, therefore, fair game for being made fun of. The Donald, however, *is* a dickhead.
Hmm… actually in a couple interviews where he’s been asked what he has to say about her criticizing his ‘moral authority’ over the affairs in his personal life, Trump scoffed pointed at Rosie’s personal life saying that you couldn’t get more immoral and disgusting than what she’s done. Like, what? Being in a healthy committed lesbian relationship and raising a set of bright happy children? Why, of course.
Tanja: Judging by his history, The Donald isn’t all that keen on healthy, committed relationships.
