Bill’s Big Love

by digby

Julia wonders where Big Bill Donohue is now that his favorite candidate has reiterated his support for publicly funded abortions. That’s right, Donohue has been strangely silent about any of the contentious issues where Rudy Giuliani seems to come out on the side of the liberals but he loves writing about how wonderful Rudy is.

In fact:

It appears as if the only thing Mr. Giuliani’s done that’s offended Mr. Dononue enough to write about it is appear in a Saturday Night Live sketch where catholic schoolgirls talk about necking. Odd, that, when Mr. Giuliani as mayor instituted government-paid partnership benefits for gay couples, and Mr. Donohue feels pretty strongly about that.

Julia points out that despite Donohue’s reticence to criticize Giuliani’s positions on social issues, Donohue has found time recently to excoriate Mrs Clinton for “courting the homosexual vote” by not appearing in New York’s St Patrick’s Day parade. His “good friend” Rudy was also slated to skip the parade (FOF — fear of firefighters) until Donohue turned skipping the parade into a pander to gays.

Rudy, you see, doesn’t have to worry about such things. When it comes to “courting the homosexual vote,” nobody does it like Rudy:

I guess as long as he doesn’t cover himself in chocolate, Donohue doesn’t have a problem with it.

Baby steps.
