JUNE 8, 2003
At the 2003 Tony Awards, a moment to remember came when Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, personal and professional partners for 25 years, accepted the best score Tony for "Hairspray." At the podium, Shaiman said to Whittman, "We're not allowed to get married in this world, but I want to declare -- I love you -- and I'd like to live with you the rest of my life."

CBS reported getting eight angry phone calls -- which means two calls from each of the four straight people who watch the Tony Awards... It's delightfully ironic that it was Shaiman who wrote the Oscar nominated South Park song "Blame Canada." Mr. Shaiman may be singing "Thank Canada" these days, as the next story shows....

Strom and Bong Bong Bong at Tea Dance

...but on a tragic note...
On the same day the Supreme Court decriminalized his adoring and unabashedly sexual relationship with Gay lover Bong Bong "Bong Bong BongMariposa, whom the Senator purchased on-line at Boiz-R-Us.com, 122-year-old former senator and recent queer converso Strom Thurmond passed away and went to hell.

Okay, that was fun, but let's not forget that this old bastard's life was dedicated to the perpetuation and exploitation of the misery of others-- no matter how fondly chicken-hawk Dick Cheney eulogized
him at his long-hoped-for funeral.

     and speaking of unspeakable white-trash scum...
Does anyone remember this ignorant little putz? When I was a kid, he was as famous as George Wallace as a symbol of racial hate and rabid segregatioism. He was a high school drop-out who ran a fried chicken restaurant and handed out axe-handles to use against any niggras who tried to enter his greasy eatery. Then he was governor of Georgia. He died [which is strictly okay with me] the day before Strom... I guess so he could get to hell first and hold the door open. Click on the picture and see who gets compared to the Honorable Lester Maddox -- as hateful a little troll as ever the South could love. I was shocked to read that he died. I thought he'd been dead for twenty years...
 
So who's left of the Old Guard of Hell-Bound Racists?

Has anybody here
seen my old friend
Jesse?
Can you tell me
where he's gone?
I though I saw him scooting
down the highway to Hell
with Wallace and Maddox
and Strom ...
 
Yep, Helms is the last of them.

Ah, well... we've still got
Thomas, Frist, Lott,

They don't make 'em like they used too,
but they still make 'em.

Hey, STROM!

Trent Lott -- like many lying racist apologists --
claimed that his buddy Strom had long since
"repudiated" his hate-mongering past.
Is that true?
Or is Lott a lying sack of shit?

The fabulous month ended tragically with the death of
Katharine Hepburn, the last of the great movie stars
of the Golden 30's. Will her forthcoming memoir be
forthcoming about her long-rumored bisexuality and her
relationship with Phyllis Wilbourn -- with whom she
lived for more years than with Spencer-- and to whom
Hepburn referred as "my Alice B. Toklas"? Don't bet on it.
We like our legends tastefully heterosexualized.
 
PS: Kate, why shit-talk Streep?
It made you look petty and foolish.
And oh so jealous.
Don't worry, you're still in second
place for those Oscar nominations.
Nothing wrong with second place...
What becomes a legend most?
Gracefully accepting the talents of others.
Especially the greater talents of others.
Remember how Bette Davis praised
Debra Winger and Glenda Jackson?
That was class, Kate.
 
P.P.S. Looks like someone did break the code
of silence about Hepburn's bisexuality.
According to reviews, Irene Selznick
-- who knew Hepburn for 900 years-- said
there were "numerous" Lesbian affairs.
Now... how about Spencer and the boys?
And what about the very old rumors about
Tracy and the very young Robert Wagner?
