Hold the phone Dora! Ken Mehlman, the chairman of the Republican party during the aggressively anti-gay Bush years, has unexpectedly come out of the closet, saying “It’s taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life.”

Mr. Melhman is one of the most awful, hateful politicians who spent his entire political career actively fighting against gay rights by helping to get elected many of the nation’s most anti-gay politicains, including President George W. Bush.

So why come out at all, and at this point?

Join us as we scratch our collective heads until they are raw and bloody, wondering why of all people, Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is welcoming this gay supervillain with open arms.

UPDATE: DLB takes it back, saying he’s dialing back his congratulations:

And all the hot news:

Khurram Sher, A Canadian Pakistani man who once auditioned for Canadian Idol is arrested and charged for Terrorism,

Kellan Lutz is caught smoking by his momma.

Artists united against Lady Gaga.

Will human meat be on the menu in Germany?

And lock up your daughters and your liquor cabinets, Linday Lohan is out of jail and back on Twitter.

Teri Yaki’s been working hard to transform herself into Amanda Steinstein, for our very special What Not to Wear/Feast of Fools viewing party at Hydrate in Chicago on Oct 10.

We’ll have a blast watching on a jumbo screen as we raid Amanda’s closest, try on some of her clothes, stalk her around town and then surprise her with a makeover in this reality TV show.

The crew told us that our episode is probably the gayest one ever and that Amanda was the most challenging person (read:worst dressed) they have ever had on the show. This is a must watch episode- plus, prizes, games, gifts and giveaways! I didn’t happen to mention the bar is “hosted” did I? Glug glug!

Listen as Teriyaki shares her roller coaster drug bust story and shares her insight into Chicago’s drag wars and why some people find drag queens so offensive.

Is everyone coming out? Lindsay Lohan shyly confirms her lesbian love affair with DJ Samantha Ronson on the sex-advice radio show Loveline.

Meanwhile- Clay Aiken’s fundamentalist female fans are shocked and awed over his bold coming out on this week’s People Magazine.

But honestly, who didn’t know Clay Aiken was gay? He was just saying what everyone was thinking.

A Chinese Girl was arrested for forcing her college roomates to get fat. Her roommates thought she was the granddaughter of a mob boss and forced them to give her money and to do ridiculous things like gain weight. If the girls didn’t do what she said she could make them disappear.

Condalezze Rice got skipped over for Sarah Palin and how kooky Kirk Cameron kisses women in movies without breaking his wedding vows.

PLUS- We’ve got a special Little Britain USA Giveaway! Listen to today’s show for details and check out the youtube videos in the forums.

Fresh funny and fabulous- Feast of Fools.

Gay travel writer Michael Luongo joins us to expand on some of the ideas from his last appearance on our show about the gay experience in the Muslim world. Just what lies beneath the surface of all that same-sex affection? Is there sex involved?

Just to entice your appetite, here is an awesome Flickr group “Male Beauty of the Middle East”- it’s very hot.

I highly recommend Michael’s book “Gay Travels in the Muslim World” which is a collection of short non-fiction stories about a variety of men’s perspectives on places like Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan on what it means to be sexually attracted to other men.

The tell-all stories make a great bedtime or summer beach vacation read. They are an enticing hybrid of the romantic “Lawrence of Arabia” and the gritty intensity of a 1960s pulp fiction novel.

Honestly, these day’s I just don’t know what’s real anymore. We’ve been busy helping to tape a special reality TV show project which we aren’t ready to talk about, but it’s a whole lot of fun and joyful to be a part of the process.

But the show edits make Marc out to be the “good” guy and me out to be the “bad” guy. Just because I look like Jeffrey Sebela on Project Runway doesn’t mean I’m a jerk!

For crying out loud, Marc is the one who keeps a twitter blog on INSULTS. Subscribe via text message and you can get it on your phone!

Speaking of gritty celebrities, did you hear? Lin Lo said OK-go to being a lesbo.

I’m not sure just what I wrote out. OK, this means Lindsay Lohan just officially came out and used the word LESBIAN to describe herself, as in “lesbian relationship.” You go Lin-Lo! FYI, it may be a Hollywood first, as most famous entertainer Daughters of Bilitis prefer to use the word “gay” or “omnisexual” to describe their passion for ladies.

I’ve heard of bats in your belfry, but a young women found a bat in her padded bra. She thought it was her mobile phone vibrating when she took it out and it was tinny little bat. She let it go and go and felt terrible that she may have frightened the poor thing.

Kuwait a minute, yes, it’s the podcast that is rarely Syrian but will always Afghanistan by your man- Feast of Fools.
