@mischiefmanager Dr. Warren Hern for our team. The Esquire profile about him made me sob. Kicked out: Virginia Foxx. Blanche Lincoln. Leslee Unruh! Ugh, it took me like five minutes to remember her name and now I'm angry.

Found your comment in the spam queue, Cimorene. Weird. But I’m glad I did because I agree with you about the Dali Lama, and it briefly answers eleanargh’s question.

This was so fun!

I’ll give Camille Paglia (in a heartbeat) and take Howard Zinn.

I’ll give any anti-choice loony, especially the ones who yell at women “I’ll take your baby!” (This seems to be a female behavor exclusively, at least in my experience.) Yeah, like we’d even trust you with an ant farm. And I’ll take George Tiller and every male doc who does abortions.

@eleanargh: O RLY? That would be disappointing indeed.

I’m also drafting Tim Gunn. The dudes can either take Anna Wintour in exchange or we can just exile her.

Re: the Dalai Lama – it’s not clear how he feels about us gays. There are a lot of conflicting quotes around, but he doesn’t appear to be on Team Unequivocal-Non-Gay-Hate. So maybe let’s not claim him for womanity just yet.

Definitely want Al Gore and Barney Frank. Can we get Jonathan “The Girl Stands Up To Me Now” Richman and ditch, say, Vanna White?

B’bye, Leslie Unruh.

Helllloooo, Barney Frank!
