B-Roll Footage from the Movie Outrage where popular journalist and political figures discuss who has better sex "Democrats or Republicans". Their answers will surprise you. The movie is out in select cities now.
I previously posted the "Outrage" trailer and background here.
Featured in this clip: Andrew Sullivan, author Rob Morris, Patrick Guerriero (former head of the LCR), Dan Gurley (former national field director of the RNC), friend of the Blend David Phillips (of Larry Craig encounter infamy), Mike Rogers and John Byrne (editor, Raw Story). [...]
Sully: "I've rarely been to a more sexually charged -- gay sexually charged -- environment than a Republican Convention."
Mike Rogers: "Republicans are more happy with their sex lives when you survey them...but they have low expectations."
The Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, who is strongly considering a run for Senate, will be outed in a independent film being released tomorrow.
The film, “Outrage,” tracks the outings of prominent gay political figures, such as Crist and former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman. It’s being produced by Magnolia Pictures and will appear in Landmark Theaters across the country.
“Using some firsthand accounts of former sexual partners, old campaign footage (to occasionally humorous effect) and commentary from gay political media watchdogs, the film makes the case for each man’s homosexuality, and presents his lifetime gay rights voting record,” according to one reviewer. “In each instance, the disconnect is staggering.
“The usual suspects are all there: Craig, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, former New York mayor Ed Koch, former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, former Rep. Ed Schrock, even dusty McCarthy relic Roy Cohn. [...]
Salon notes that Crist is the biggest fish in the film for critics.
“The person most reviewers have been focusing on is Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who was recently married — his engagement was announced right around the time when speculation was mounting that he could be chosen as John McCain’s running mate,” Salon’s Alex Koppelman writes. “He was actually first outed back in 2006, by Bob Norman, a reporter for the New Times Broward-Palm Beach, who was also the first reporter to the story of former Rep. Mark Foley’s sexuality, in 2003.
“And, in cases like Crist’s, it means that the media knows something its audience doesn’t, and is holding back information about people who are running for public office,” Koppelman added.
At least 90 immigrants have died while in US custody since October 2003, a document obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed Friday. At least 32 deaths occurred at facilities run by private contractors.
The document -- which has received little to no attention -- also displays an apparent carelessness on the part of prison officials, whose records of the deaths change and omit inmate deaths over time.
Moreover, it shows that prison officials are now recording even fewer details about immigrants' deaths, possibly in response to periodic scrutiny of the list. [...]
The list also reveals that one private company, the Corrections Corporation of America, had at least 18 deaths under its watch, and that 32 of the 90 deaths occurred while immigrants were held in private prisons. 37 of the deaths occurred at regional facilities and 20 at federal centers. [...]
In addition, information about some deaths has been obscured.
"Some information has been changed without explanation," the Times added. "For example, the cause of death for Boubacar Bah, 52, who was held at the Corrections Corporation of America detention center in Elizabeth, N.J., previously was listed as 'brain hemorrhage, fractured skull' and now reads 'undetermined.'"
Oh Noes!!! A comedian known for off color jokes made an off color joke? What will happen next? Blues singers singing the blues? Modern dance dancers dancing modern dance? Sheesh. I await the kerning to begin for Obama to condemn/reject/renounce Mr "Also Black" Mac.
CHICAGO—Comedian Bernie Mac endured some heckling and a campaign rebuke during a surprise appearance Friday night at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, the 50-year-old star of "The Bernie Mac Show" joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language.
