The Free Republic (very conservative website) is holding a rally to support Jeff Gannon.
Bwahaha!
The comments on that page are terribly amusing -- they're split about 50/50 between "The evil Leftist Media wants to deprive Jeff Gannon of his First Amendment Rights!" and "Um...do we really want to be defending a gay male prostitute? Really?"
Hee. I won't go to FR because i don't have a shower handy, but I can imagine their little heads going all splody.
I don't get the Ebby Calvin joke. But I'd be happy to name a microwave Sulaco.

I very rarely get movie or tv quote reference jokes. I don't seem to have the remember lines or details gene.

That's the thing, they've totally missed that the isssue is why is a fake reporter in the White House Press and getting asked questions. That he is a gay prostitute isn't the real story, that part just makes it funny.
I am so positively sure that a fake reporter with far left viewpoints would be defended in the same manner.
Or taking it even further, I am sure a fake reporter from a fake Muslim backed paper would be defended.

A dear friend of mine had vanity plates for his 4runner truck that said Sulaco. He also had a replica pulse rifle that stayed on his desk at WotC, where he was the manager of the Customer Service dept.
Good lord, I've killed Natter. I didn't

everyone has hit their Friday afternoon wall, I think.
