Ellen Degeneres plays Sally Kern bigoted rant

[MonkeyFunk]

on her show, then tried to call Sally. Got a message, and was sent to voicemail, and the mailbox was full. For those who don't know, Kern is the Oklahoma legislator who was recorded saying the most outrageous thngs about gays and their "agenda".

She played the whole thing - it was awesome!

1. Great way for her viewers to see how some think we are worse than terrorists.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i like this comment of hers especially

"Not everybody's lifestyle is equal," she charges, "just like not all religions are equal."

per sally kern

3. Thanks for that link

I hadn't heard the audio before, nor had I read a transcript. I mean, you hear one bigoted homophobic rant you've heard 'em all, right?

I guess not. Sheesh that's vile

4. I hope there's a way we can all join together to help

ruin her career.

She deserves to lose everything she's achieved in life for this.

5. glad to see ellen become "political" again.

She has as much right to do this as Oprah does to endorse Obama, dammit.

I guess I can forgive her for crossing the picket lines.

8. Yes, it's good to have her on our side.

7. Glad to recommend, and my deep thanks to Degeneres

I am very glad that she is willing to put a spotlight on the bigotry in this country.

9. Kick

Thanks for letting us know. I like Ellen more and more every day.

[MonkeyFunk]

10. She was great with the story

of Lawrence King, too. She told his story and made a strong statement.

11. Good for Ellen.

I think there are some things that she gets pissed about...such as the death of Lawrence King...and she just can't be silent about it. Good for Ellen.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Then she tried to call Kern

but got a message and was sent to voicemail, but her voicemail was full!

Ellen said "I bet!"

So then she just made fun of her for awhile. Then Wanda Sykes came out and made fun of her. It was great.

[terrya]

14. That was on today's Ellen, right?

Damn. It comes on at 3PM here in Chicago. I won't be able to make it home to see it.

Sounds like a great show. BTW: Wanda Sykes is touring with the True Colors tour this month, in case you want to see it near your area.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. alas, I can't find a vide of it yet

but Ellen's show's page has the video of Wanda Sykes:

17. Thanks, MonkeyFunk

I'm sure...I'm absolutely sure...it will be on Youtube in no time.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. sigh

it was on youtube briefly, but it's been removed.

But here's what she said on the air after getting a full voice mailbox:

Hi, Sally, this is Ellen. The gay one. And I would like to leave a message. I just want to talk to you based on some things you said. I’d like to clear some things up for you. So give me a call– I’m usually here, but later on I’ll be at the Dinah Shore Golf Tournament, of course. That’s if it doesn’t conflict with the women’s basketball games I go to. Oh, Sally, Sally Sally.”

13. Thanks Ellen. Now, on to Sally Kern.

You should start retyping your resumé, Ms. Kern. And come with us to the conference room. We need to talk.

Ellen's had a rough time of it earlier this year, when she tried to keep her staff from being fired by restarting her show, and was unfairly criticized for it. I say we should send her a thank you for two very good acts she's done.

15. Is Ellen Degeneres rocking the world lately or what??????

That's what leadership looks like.
