Good news, DUers! Ken Blackwell announced he can suppress any gay feelings he might have

... which, of course, he assures us he doesn't have. Here is the audio on Signorile's website for the most fascinating interview to spew out of a Republican since Nixon wasn't a crook.

Blackwell: I Could Restrain Homosexual Urges -- If I Had Any, Which I Don't

Gay-rights activist and talk-radio host Michelangelo Signorile has posted an amusing piece of audio of Ken Blackwell during the Republican National Convention, telling Signorile that homosexuality is a compulsion that can be "restrained," and he's quite confident he would be able to suppress it within himself -- though of course he's never had any sort of problem like that.

"I've never had to make the choice because I've never had the urge to be other than a heterosexual," Blackwell said, "but if in fact I had the urge to be something else I could have in fact suppressed that urge."

1. damn

2. Well, I'm sure he can suppress any of his homosexual urges there as well!

I imagine Ken Blackwell is a force of pure will power--no soul, no heart, no brains... but lots & lots of will power!

3. I suppose he can change colors as well.

The guy is a one-man magic show.

4. choking the chicken while looking at a magazine isn't suppression.

Someone should tell him that a healthy sexual attitude and relationship doesn't need suppression.

Now if he claims he's suppressing his heterosexual 'compulsion' then I'd believe he can do what he claims he can do. Until then it's just words falling out of a stupid mouth like diarrhea.

5. "I can suppress the urge to do something I've never wanted to do"

Wow. Give the guy a medal.

6. The douchebag doth protest too much methinks.

With apologies to Shakespeare.

7. Well let's put it to the test. Hook him up and test him. Put his money where...oh

They have machines that can test for, you know, a certain state in males when shown images. Hook him up, he would be medical history.
