Yes, the very same Bobby Eberle who "published" Talon News, which employed Jeff Gannon.
Juanita, of
The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, reporting from Sugar Land, has the scoop:
Okay, so it's funny enough that the man who vouched for Gannon The Male Call-Boy as a reporter is running for VICE chair of the Texas GOP.
Here comes the end part ----
The local GOPper also sent me a copy of an online semi-endorsement (it's a two man race) of Eberle writeen by a local male GOP twentyish-something blogger that – seriously – went like this:
"I guess if you were to place odds, Eberle would be the favorite based on how many man hours he has spent working for the GOP. I'm sure we'll start seeing his slick glossy mailers early in 2006. The race is a name ID position. So he better build it up, or risk some bigger name coming in and taking it away from him."
I dunno. Even the movie Top Gun wasn't that homoerotic.
I give this race a 10 on the Entertainment Potential scale.
You know what's missing here? A
Brokeback Mountain reference.
Seriously. I'm getting a mental visual of Dubya, Eberle, Gannon, "Big Time" Dick, Ken Mehlman, Scott McClellan, Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum, and John "Box Turtle" Cornyn, all in cowboy hats and buttless chaps, squatting around a campfire in Crawford re-enacting the beans scene from
Blazing Saddles.
Horse-milkin' homophobes ridin' bareback on the back forty whilst the womenfolk (Bush's four mommies; Grandmaw Bar, Condi, Karen "Bigfoot" Hughes, and "Pickles") are quiltin' back at the ranch house -- mixin' martinis, smokin' cigarettes and listenin' to Lynne Cheney read aloud her tales of lesbian eroticism.
The Republican Party of Texas -- also known as the Talibapublicans -- is going to be one hot place to party in 2006.
