So what's this brou ha ha over Proposition 8, and why did someone make a musical about it?
It all started when the California Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is a-okay, opening the gates of matrimony to same-sex couples. Gay rights opponents were appalled, so they came up with Proposition 8: a California ballot initiative that sought to change the California state constitution to restrict marriage to boy-girl couples only.
Prop 8 passed with flying colors (presumably not rainbow colors) and gays could marry no more... Hence the drama.
Gay and gay friendly Americans were angry and offended, so they began to protest. Some picketed, others wrote articles, and one - Academy Award and Tony Award winner Mark Shaiman - created a musical with an all-star cast, great show tunes and dancing. Fabulosity aside, the gist of the musical is this: Prop 8 = hate.
Asked by Keith Olberman how the muisical came about, Shaiman said "As you can tell from the video, it clearly all started when I was born really, really gay...."
Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced Sarah Palin at a rally in Tampa this weekend.
"As you can see, Sarah Palin sure is a woman who knows how to dress," Hasselbeck said. "I'm actually personally most impressed, you know, by her accessories, like the flag pin that she wears...."
We noticed that Hasselbeck's speech style, intonation and mannerisms are almost identical to Sarah Palin's. Shared speech coach, perhaps? If we weren't watching Hasselbeck, we would think Palin was speaking. Just an observation...
Anyway, Hasselbeck did well, looked great and got a warm reception from the crowd. Here's a clip of her speech.
Ever wonder whatever happened to the whassup guys from the Budweiser commercial? Yeah, we never cared either. But here's an update on them anyway...
Elisabeth Hasselbeck will join Sarah Palin on the campaign trail this weekend. The McCain/Palin campaign hopes that Elisabeth will help attract more women to the ticket.
We thought that's what Palin was for, but she hasn't been as effective as the campaign would like. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that 56% of women say they question McCain's judgement because he picked Palin as his running mate.
Elisabeth represents the lone conservative voice on The View. She recently spoke against the media's focus on Sarah Palin's $150,000 new wardrobe with, "Are you looking into Joe Biden's supposed botox shots in his forehead?" Ouch.
