Chris Matthews’ Anti-Gay Slur « NewsReal Blog

Chris Matthews’ Anti-Gay Slur « NewsReal Blog: "The Left presents itself as the party of enlightened tolerance, manning the garrisons against right-wing hatemongers who are eager to turn back the clock to the Dark Ages (the 1950s). But last night on MSNBC’s Hardball, Chris Matthews used a Fifties-era phrase coined to mock homosexuals.

Matthews’ guest, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, began the segment by plugging his upcoming appearance on Dancing with the Stars. The 62-year-old Texan joked that he found only one drawback to his new gig, holding up the shoe he must wear. That inspired this exchange:

Matthews: That’s a little pump, isn’t it?

DeLay: It’s a little pump, with high heels.

Matthews: Are you gonna be a little light in that shoe, I think? No more comment. Let’s just drop this conversation."
