Your slip is showing

Jon Stewart's pithy question about right-wingers and their obsession with intimate acts with barnyard creatures reminds me that there are some people who have some really creepy things lurking around in their subconscious.

For example, last month Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) said he was not in favor of marriage equality because he didn't plan on marrying a man. Okay, fine; no one is asking him to. The question is really about those people who want to.

Now we have another member of the Georgia congressional delegation telling us that he’s not interested in gender transition surgery. Via The Huffington Post:

"I don't want to pay for a sex-change operation," [Rep. Paul] Broun told town hall attendees, presumably referring to a proposal, scrapped by the Obama administration late last month, that would have allowed gender confirmation surgeries to be covered under Medicare and Medicaid. "I'm not interested. I like being a boy."

Yeah. Anyone over the age of twenty-one who refers to himself as a "boy" has a few more issues than what's in the fine print of Obamacare. (FYI, such surgeries are not covered. That's up to your insurance company.)

By the way, the news that Mr. Chambliss is not gay was received with great joy amongst those of us who are.
