Cyncism

From an interview with former Christianist ghostwriter Mel White:

I sat down in the airport the other day next to Karl Rove and I didn’t even realize who it was until I looked up and recognized him.

I said to him, “Excuse me, Mr. Rove, but your spears are constantly in my side.”

He said, “What do you mean?”

I said, “Basically these anti-gay shafts that you’re throwing are killing us.”

“I’m not anti-gay,” he said.

“Oh, you and the Tea Party are not anti-gay?” I said.

He said, “I’ve been trying to get them to drop that issue but since they won’t, what can I do? It’s not really an issue anyway.”

I said, “It is an issue and it’s killing my brothers and sisters.”

He said, “I have two out gay men working for me. I like gays. We have gay friends in the family. I’m not against it, but this issue works.” From the horse’s mouth. He’s not even anti-gay and he’s leading a political movement to deny our rights.
