For those who apparently do not know, Dr. Rachel Maddow is a lesbian. She is on the butch side of the lesbian spectrum, and looks very attractive in her fitted suits and not feminine attire. Of course, this appears to be news to Senator David Vitter who seems to believe that there are only two things that a women are good for, and neither of them exactly very progressive.
On a recent radio show, Senator Vitter and the two hosts make fun of Dr. Maddow’s High School Year Book photo. Having seen the photo, Dr. Maddow looks uncomfortable in a feminine persona the same way that I would look if I were to take on a butch persona.
It came up in a discussion about Vitter’s High School years and his first time on the Senate floor, you know, right before he got caught with his pants around his ankles. Here is the bit from the radio show, Rush Radio 99.5 in New Orleans:
MALE HOST: Well you know, with Rachel Maddow they had that picture of her…
FEMALE HOST: Looking like a woman.
MALE HOST: Yeah it was really bizarre.
VITTER: [LAUGHS]: Must have been a long time ago.
ALL THREE: [HEAVY LAUGHTER]
Dr. Maddow graduated in either 1990 or 1991 depending on her school district (it is not listed). This means that she graduated a year or two before I did, and trust me, you do not want to see my high school photos. Vitter, incidentally, graduated in 1979. Dr. Maddow was seven and I was six when he walked down the isle to get his high school diploma. I somehow doubt that he wants someone digging up his year book pictures in order to show them to everyone.
As for Dr. Maddow not looking like a woman. . .I think she does. Of course, he probably does not know what a woman looks like unless she’s in a skimpy dress and wearing enough makeup to hide a house in.

I’m not sure if I should say what is on my mind. I’d probably get in trouble for it.
