That cowardly dog, formerly known as George Michael, hereafter to be known as Old Yella.

Both Elton John and George Michael irritate me because after hiding their sexuality for a number of years they're now both trading on it in a very smug way after being forcibly outed. I know it's hard to declare your gayness in a homophobic society and everything, but they can at least recognise the hypocrisy in that.

gm's gayness aside - someone need to slap that leah bitch.

Two things:

1. How can you take someone seriously when they say, "I'll be danged..."?

And

2. What's "cottaging?"

I've had trouble finding a good link that explains the Blair/Bush dog reference, but this does it (and makes it clear to me that Yanks wouldn't get it): which is more or less what he says....["I think it should be remembered that it was never intended to be released in America, because I simply think that would have been - well, apart from bad timing, it would have been disrespectful," he told one caller.]

Its a JOKE, guys. Don't be so thin skinned!

Well, he explains himself some more here, and - lo & behold - seems to have similar democratic tendencies to a lot of MeFites...

More rational thinking from The Prince of Pervs:-

"On an issue as enormous
as the possible bombing of Iraq, how can you [Tony Blair] represent us when you haven't asked us what we think? And let's be honest, we haven't even begun to discuss it as a society.''

"Don't get me wrong, I am definitely not anti-American, how could I be, I have been in love with a Texan for six years and we are still going strong".
