Fox & Friends played "It's Raining Men" before introducing Romney's sons this morning

[highplainsdem]

The twit hosts talked about Romney's sons being on next, and one mentioned the rain in Tampa, and then, as they cut to commercial, they played "It's Raining Men."

I guess no one told them it's become a gay anthem.

1. Become? It started out as a gay anthem.

The lyricist was Paul Jabara, a gay man who died of AIDS in 1992.

2. That would have been fabulous if they'd dug into Mitt's costume closet and come out as a

policeman, fireman, construction worker, a cowboy, an Indian or biker.

3. Wow, so Mitten's boys are gay?!

That's great! Not great enough for me to vote for their dad, but great nonetheless!

5. No. All are mormon and married with children.

Which means, they *could* be so far in the closet...they could be Queens of Narnia!

13. Whoops, forgot my sarcasm smiley

It would be great if more Republicans had out gay children but I didn't especially think these two were.

4. It's Raining Men was not the Village People...

...it was The Weather Girls!!!

6. Right. Video:

9. Previously known as "Two Tons o' Fun"

The original Two Tons were Martha Wash and Izora Armstead. They got their start backing up the fabulous Sylvester.

7. And here's the version with RuPaul:

11. I know. But Mitt never wore any Weather Girls costumes.

That I am aware of.

12. Maybe he should....picture Mitt in big ol' sequined MuMu....

...or maybe not

8. Hope they use it

. . .without realizing it's a gay anthem. Post facto it'll add up to their litany of ignorance.
