Isn't it fabulous? Queen Latifah went and said something not exactly nice, which so gives us all a much-needed break from other girls currently behaving badly, namely Sarah Palin.

Oh, love everybody's messages on our Palin items lately, by the by, particularly those who see the media's obsession with Palin as a virtual sign that the world's ending—economically, at least—and there's crap entertainment out there for us to escape with, thereby we're stuck with an antigay Alaskan candidate with dead forests and moose on her brain to pick up the slack. (Not sure I entirely agree, but I adore the points just the same.)

So Queenie, of course, then bitches to the TimesNew York, not Los Angeles—with this incredibly offensive nanogay speak, complete with dubious declaratives such as "I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life," she bitched, culminating with the unfortunate yell, "I don't care if people think I'm gay or not, assume what you want."

It's all very defensive, as if she's being accused of something sinister, such as child endangerment or bad hair treatments. Why so angry, babe? You're unmarried, very butch, got lotsa full-time gal company and you're constantly in track suits with no makeup, get real. You should be laughing about it, telling us all what a compliment you consider this lesbian whispering to be but no comment's coming today, sorry!

Then who the ef am I to tell you what to do? You've got an Oscar nomination, and I've got permanent crank-butt. Just try and be a little less antigay next time, please, when you're so busy saying you aren't.
