Thacker’s Out
MSNBC just announced that Thacker (see today’s earlier post) has witdrawn himself from consideration for the President’s Council on HIV/AIDS.
That is good news.
What I don’t get, however, is why right-wing pundidts like Baye Buchanan (Pat’s sister — picture an eviler [yes, it’s possible] Pat in a big blonde wig). Ms. Buchanan just asked the Leader of the Human Rights Council whether or nor the gay community had been plagued by AIDS. When the gentleman from HRC (don’t remember his name) said, “Yes, but…” Baye said that was proof that Thacker’s characterization of AIDS as the “gay plague” was not horrible.
Not one ounce of shame.
