Saturday Night Live featured a gay John Boehner and Miley Cyrus as a
slutty Michele Bachmann last night, celebrating shutting down the
federal government in a house party themed “We Can’t Stop” parody music
video that can only be described as brilliant or wildly offensive — or
both.
The choice of portraying the Speaker of the House as gay
certainly will raise many eyebrows, and if the intention was to malign
Boehner by making him gay, well, that in itself is offensive — what do
you think?
I watched the video repeatedly, with the sound on and off. The images
are compelling, and from an artistic and political satire standpoint,
brilliant: Drugged-up, over-sexed, out-of-control Tea Party and
Republican politicians partying over their “successful” government shut
down is a brilliant choice — wholly representative of the hypocrisy,
greed, and immoral behavior that conservatives, Republicans, the
religious right, the Tea Party, the “pro-family” contingent, the Koch
brothers supported PACs and activists, and the willfully ignorant
radical right have exhibited in increasing “volume.”
