Oh, those wacky "Values" Voters!

Priceless. This is the kind of hard-hitting investigative journalism so sadly lacking in the EmmEssEmm. Morbo covers the Values Voter Summit "so you don't have to." Some of his especially astute observations:

Danae Dobson: Dobson’s daughter delivered a tribute to him during the banquet — kind of. She seemed to damn him with faint praise. She mentioned seeing the popular YouTube video of actor David Hasselhoff, drunk out of his mind, trying to eat a hamburger off the floor. She said she was glad her dad was not like that. I think we’re all glad not to have “The Hoff” for a dad, but isn’t that setting the bar awfully low?

I’d like to think that Thompson stinks so much that we don’t have to worry about him getting the GOP nomination and the presidency – but one look at who’s sitting in the White House now should dispel that.

One final thought: I’d like to give a shout-out to Lambda Rising, an iconic gay bookstore not far from the Hilton Washington, where the Values Voter Summit took place. Walking by the store during a break Saturday afternoon, I was amused to see a sign in the window reading, “Attention, Values Voters! Show your badge and get 20 percent off.” It’s good to know that the entrepreneurial spirit lives, and my guess is that most of the guys from the “ex-gay” ministry booth were down there the minute the conference ended.
