Wingnut off the starboard bow!

Tim Hardaway (and most of his former NBA teammates) wouldn’t welcome openly gay players into the locker room any more than they’d welcome profoundly unattractive, morbidly obese women. I specify unattractive females because if a young lady is attractive (or, even better, downright “hot”) most guys, very much including the notorious love machines of the National Basketball Association, would probably welcome her joining their showers. The ill-favored, grossly overweight female is the right counterpart to a gay male because, like the homosexual, she causes discomfort due to the fact that attraction can only operate in one direction. She might well feel drawn to the straight guys with whom she’s grouped, while they feel downright repulsed at the very idea of sex with her.

No, really, he said that. If Michael Medved doesn't make Olbermann's Worst Person in the World tonight I'm going to be stunned.

I'm holding off until I get home, several folks have already recommended it ;)

Wow. *boggle* Just...wow.

Also: "notorious love machines"? It's too bad - if he'd gone just a step further with that one, he could have added overt racism into the mix.

You can't make up this kind of over-the-top asinine-ity.

The ill-favored, grossly overweight female is the right counterpart to a gay male
I see. I won't hold my breath waiting for the day I see this pairing portrayed in comic books or television as superhero/sidekick.

Actually if you read the whole thing the racism is right there. Also TBogg is astonished that he managed to write the entire piece without once explicitly mentioning boners.

Medved co-authored several amusing books on bad movies and turned that into a gig as a movie reviewer. He somehow parlayed *that* into a career as a professional wingnut.

It's a shame. He should stuck to reviewing movies if this is the sort of bigoted shit he's spouting.

Oh fantastic! Well, it's nice to hear Medved keeps his resume of hatred well-rounded. :S

This video cracked me up the first time I saw it. So well done.
