Will Mr. Tucker Carlson PLEASE Stay In The Closet?

He Does More For Gay Rights By Passing For Straight.

Tucker Carlson's (probably) illegal impersonation of Keith Olbermann in an email exchange showed us a side of Carlson that we all knew existed but didn't dwell on very much these last few years: he's really a bitchy queen in a bow tie. But the universe is filled with much more colorful bitchy queens trying desperately to look straight. And in the final analysis, it's the over-the-top macho maybes who look ridiculous in their homophobic scenarios that push straights to have compassion for gays: "Poor man, he tries sooo hard!" 

What tipped the scales in the Olbermann impersonation was his admission:

"Could you resist?" Carlson said. "It was just too funny. The flesh is weak."
