By now you've probably heard about Andrew Shirvell (below) - an Assistant District Attorney from Michigan who went on an extremely weird crusade against University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong. You see, Chris Armstrong is openly gay - the first openly gay student body president in Univ. of Michigan history - and this enraged Shirvell, and alumnus of the school. In order to publicize his distaste for Armstrong, Shirvell created a blog - Chris Armstrong Watch - calling Armstrong everything from "radical" to "a Nazi" to claiming he engaged in "flagrant sexual promiscuity".
Anywhore, I've been reading about the case but I just assumed that Shirvell (who has been suspended from his job because of the harrassment) was just a creep. But then the Daily Show interviewed him, and it all became crystal clear ...

Poor thing - Andrew Shirvell is gayer than happy hour at the Ramrod. He's gayer than a tiara-wearing Persian Cat lounging on a settee in Elton John's Solarium. Andrew Shirvell is gayer than Rip Tayler's toupee on Halloween.
Get over it Girl - he's just not into you.
From the very first interview I saw with the guy, with Anderson Cooper when this story first broke, I said, "This guy has issues with his own sexuality." It's too bad that he's not getting some help in dealing with it, and instead chooses to lash out against others in his self-loathing.
ReplyDeleteHaving said all that, they need to fire his ass. No way he can do his job fairly with this sort of bias. XOXO
Kind of scary that nutburgers can get so far into gov't. Apparently he took a 'voluntary' leave of absence from his job and will be subject to disciplinary action when he gets back. Let's hope that means 'here's the door'.
ReplyDeletehuel perkins, one of the local fox 2 newscasters (dont judge) was talking to the coanchor and said something about the shrivell guy being over the top with all this like he was trying to hide the fact he was gay.
