What a great way to start my day...

This douchebag is named John Gibson. He works at Fox Radio - why is it whenever I think of Fox and news in the same sentence I find myself laughing these days? Anyway, this fool with his own radio show took it upon himself to openly mock Heath Ledger's death just a few hours after it was reported. He played some clips from the movie Brokeback Mountain (including the iconic "I wish I knew how to quit you" line) and said "Well, he found a way to quit you now" - he went on to relate how he felt that Heath Ledger had a serious drug problem because the people at TMZ said so - and they're always right. He also read a quote from Ledger that recounted how, after a particular role of his, Ledger said he'd started to view and think of death differently. Gibson, deep as a mud puddle in a drought, asked why Ledger would possibly be thinking of death since he was only in his 20's?! His co-host said he was probably a deep person to which Gibson replied - "He was a weird-o" This asshat, combined with the inbred hillbilly church of cousin-humpers over in Westboro who plan on picketing the funeral (I hope it takes place in Australia and I hope they feel free to kill these idiots) are why I hate America some times! However, I did read a great post somewhere that suggested that when Phelps dies we should make his tombstone a mandatory stop for all gay roadtrips and make out on his gravesite. It would be awesome. When he dies we should hold signs that say things like "Cher loves you" or "Tinky-Winky cares!"

Meanwhile, let me introduce you to our heroes - in this corner we have Dan Abrams from MSNBC who went on the air to call Gibson out on his idiotic remarks. He went on to state that anyone who was willing to relate Ledger's death to his participation in Brokeback was "ridiculous." He plays some clips from Gibson's show as well so if you just wanna cut to the "heart" of the matter follow that link - I get so mad some mornings when I read things like this that I just want to crawl back into my bed and pretend it's all some nightmare that I'm just now waking up from. I have a feeling that I will be spending a good portion of my day today trying to figure out the in's and out's of becoming a Canadian citizen.

And over here we have a personal favorite of mine, Keith Olbermann who, on his Countdown with Keith Olbermann show awarded the Worst Person in the World award to Gibson. I think that Gibson and O'Reilly should just get together and make sweet sweet love and let the spawn of that coupling form its own Baptist church and then, once it has a little sister from the same parental coupling and begins to make it's own little inbred brood and the numbers get large enough - the whole clan can go on a big turf war showdown with the Westboro folk! It's like the Hills Have Eyes only with less teeth and more misquoted Bible Messages! ...okay, I gotta put my soapbox away for now - but I might be back later!
