Pat Buchanan, Get Ready to Get Queer

At least Bravo/NBC is putting the Fab Five to work on people who need some queering up. Tonight, the Queer Eye boys appear on Buchanan/Press. Yes, Pat Buchanan and Bill Press - old dudes. They are supposed to get a "full 'Queer Eye' assessment." Someone TiVo this.

If it's Queer, it's here.

An old girlfriend of mine looked at me funny when I told her that I wanted a shoe shining kit for Christmas . . . but she got it and appreciated the effort on my part. Ended up polishing her shoes as well so she was happy.

Wow, Sterling. Wow.

I met Mr. Buchanan in DC in 1988 - had a nice 15-minute conversation with him. He was very charming, and enthusiastically guffawed at my jokes and barbs - mostly out of politness, I think. I was still in jeans-and-sneakers-all-the-time mode back then. I noticed his shoes - they were well-polished. As I've gotten older, I've developed strong opinions about shining shoes. Shoe polishing is democratic - it's something most men do themselves or spend just a small amount of money to have done. A man with a shiny pair of Florsheims is worth more in my book than a man wearing scuffed-up Salvatore Ferragamos. Shined shoes are the mark of a conscientious man. I have made gifts of shoe-shine kits to wayward friends, and I keep my great-uncle's shoe-shine box, assembled from orange crates around 1925, in my dining room.

I must agree with hamster, these guys are such sell-outs...

Fixing up nasty old politicians who oppose gay marriage and sodomy? C'mon, a little integrity, please!

Overexposed? In my book, they will only be overexposed when they start trying to fix up my father.

I've had enough of these guys.. I haven't even seen a single episode, but they are a tad overexposed.

However, I will watch the episode with Artie Lang (if they air it).
