YOU'D THINK APOLOGIES WOULD HAVE BEEN AMPLE:

Jibes at gay governor cost 2 their jobs (AP, Aug. 26, 2004)

The public address announcer for the Atlantic City Surf of the independent Atlantic League was fired and the scoreboard operator resigned after poking fun at Gov. James E. McGreevey's sexual orientation.

Announcer Greg Maiuro dedicated a between-innings rendition of the song "YMCA" to McGreevey during a game on Aug. 17, less than a week after New Jersey's governor announced that he had had an extramarital affair with a man and would resign. The 1970s hit song by the Village People is widely considered a gay anthem.

The following night, scoreboard operator Marco Cerino posted the message "Sponsored by Gov. Jim McGreevey" on the scoreboard when the song was played. Cerino resigned over the incident, the team said.


They're out of their jobs but he isn't out of his?

Again, the Zionist aspect of this scandal
is buried under frivolity and P.C.

OJ, that would be Y.M.Y.W.H.A. Let's be politically correct here...

Ah, you must not live on a college campus: Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered.

Actually, in the silliest P.C. twist yet, at the nearest college to me it's L.G.B.T. You know, to show they're not sexist.

Still sounds like one of those alphabet-soup Russian government agencies, pronounced "gilbitt".
