I know Arianna loves when I post about the entertainment business and this business with Pat Boone today so so entertaining. The white shoed/white bread crooner recorded a robo-call for a last ditch effort by the KY GOP to keep Kentucky Republicans from getting swamped in the wake of what looks like an historic anti-corruption landslide against Republican incumbent Governor Ernie Fletcher tomorrow. And when all else fails-- as it has-- where do Republicans turn? Right... virulent homophobia. So, in the light of arrests and convictions and resignations against a smarmy cast of Republican closeted lawmakers from Mark Foley (R-FL) and Larry Craig (R-ID) to Bob Allen (R-FL), Richard Curtis (R-WA), Joey DiFatta (R-LA), Ed Schrock (R-VA) and on and on and on, Boone is warning Kentuckians that if they vote for Democrat Steve Beshear against Fletcher, Kentucky will turn into another San Francisco!
Hello friends this is Pat Boone a fellow Kentuckian by descent from grandaddy Dan'l. I've always been proud of Kentucky's stance on patriotic, military and moral issues; a great heritage. Now, as an American and a Christian I am very conservative about the upcoming governor's election. Ernie Fletcher is a typical Kentuckian, he's worked long and hard for the state, its people, and its traditions. And, of course, he has come under attack by political opponents and now he faces a man who wants his job who has consistently supported every homosexual cause: same sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights, to gay, lesbian, bisexual, even transgender individuals.The problem (inaudible) gay advocacy groups (inaudible) enthusiastically endorse Beshear, knowing he's their guy. Kentuckians have already voted to amend the state constitution to prohibit same sex marriage. Now, do you want governor who'd like Kentucky to be like another San Francisco? Please reelect Ernie Fletcher.
This message paid for by the Kentucky Republican Party.

After all, when you think great music of the 20th century, names like George Gershwin, John Lennon, Miles Davis, Bono, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley all come to mind, just for starters.
But all their talents combined wouldn't come close to those of Pat Boone.
In fact, his level of talent and success in music is about equal to his keen insights, brilliant analysis and inspriring leadership in the political arena.
So, if Pat says to vote a certain way, every single one of his 14 fans, nationwide, are sure to listen closely to every word.
Keep it up, Pat. My prediction is that the total number of people you persuade to vote Republican will equal the total number of records you've sold in the past five decades. Which is about 27...right?
And Pat Boone wants us to re-elect him because of his supposed fear of gays. Boone didn't mind gays when he was stealing their songs. Hypocrite.

So he's been living in La-La land, the supposed center of American cultural corruption, for most of his life now, yet he feels entitled to stick his oar into Kentucky's political waters?
Shut up and sing, Pat. As excremental as your music is, your politics are worse.
