It might help them overcome the coastal myopia that is so prevalent in their profession.

I love my gay ghettos, stereotype or not. Mike Barnicle is a bananahead, but honestly, this seems rather petty. I love my gay ghettos, stereotype or not.

Points for that! Yet, he dismissed and negated the good points made by this brave activist by listing a few Cities that have concern for Gay issues and stating if those cities were taken out of the mix there would be no issue at all. Michelle Bernard just agreed like one of those bobble-headed dolls on a dash board. It should not matter in principal the number of Gays or Cities...the principal is that every American is entitled to their inalienable or fundamental rights and all Americans should be concerned that no American is stripped of their Liberty by the Government absent a compelling interest.

I find him to be a good guy with a good penchant for asking tough questions. While what he said was pretty ignorant, I'm not going to go so far as to say he pulled an Imus (who I also happen to be a fan of). Although Mike got one thing wrong. There are gays in Georgetown but in DC the gaaaaaaay part of DC is Dupont Circle. MIKE, GET YOUR GAY SPOTS STRAIGHT! I like the Barnicle.

"Where the Gays Live." I didn't have to go any further. I wonder if The Gays live in Hattiesburg, MS, or Albert Lea, MN. If it were "The Daily Show" and they went door to door in deep suburbia, it might be funny. But this isn't funny because it's pathetic stereotyping. Maybe next Mike Barnicle can ask where The Jews live. Maybe he'll have a heart attack if he finds a synagogue in Des Moines. Hmmm...guess this is the season of hope...
