OMG!!! NOT GAY BILLY BOB!!!

Good lord! HRC is finally being obvious about the money it wastes as it goes after George W. Bush with a Gay Billy Bob Tractor Trailor that we are not even sure has the word GAY on it! If it does, they are not advertising that fact to the press.

Because you know what, it just makes sense to send a truck around the RNC convention that says "You're Fired." It is just so damn creative and witty. And frankly, it utilizes that angry base of anti-Bush gay rage that is brewing. HELLO!!! GO TO THE VILLAGE AND GIVE THE QUEENS SIGNS!!! Or put drag queens on the bus! DO SOMETHING THAT IS COOL AND INVOLVES OTHERS!!!
