Twisted Logic


Much has been made over Barack Obama's middle name.  The yahoos at the McCain/Palin rallies just love to refer to him as Barack Hussein Obama.  Clearly this is an attempt not only to portray him as 'other' but also to link him to that other Hussein (psst, you know which one). Saddam Hussein was an enemy of America.  Obama's middle name is Hussein.  Therefore Obama is an enemy of America.

Using that twisted logic, since my middle name is Edith, I must be a 'dingbat'.  Non-religious Hubby (middle name Peter) must have some hugely Catholic leanings or at some point caught a wolf by the tail.  And, Becki, have you been hanging around in Oz again with Rupert look-alike Toto, a scarecrow, a lion, and a tin man???

So the only conclusion we can come to, using this McCain campaign logic is that John McCain is gay.  His middle name is Sidney.  From 1981-1983 there was a TV show called Love, Sidney in which the title character, an artist played by Tony Randall, was gay.   There you have it. The character Sidney was gay.  McCain's middle name is Sidney.  Therefore McCain is gay.

Elaine too, for what it's worth; she's also a Dorothy.
And Kate must be what... a British novelist?
