Southern Men Are Effeminate

The real question is if he takes a wide stance.

 

And, he apologizes:

Back home, the remarks were surprising only in degree; many had gotten used to, if weary of, Schweitzer's off-the-cuff, over-the-top musings. While the lack of filter seemed novel and engaging at first, over time it grew tiresome and even offensive, said one former political ally who, like many onetime supporters, eventually grew disenchanted with the governor.

Stephanie Schriock, a former Montana Democratic strategist and the head of Emily's List, an organization that boosts female candidates, said Schweitzer “owes Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Eric Cantor, the men of the South, LGBT Americans, and women everywhere an apology.”

“But,” she added, “I don’t want to suggest he continue talking.”

On Thursday afternoon, Schweitzer said he was sorry in a post on his Facebook page.

“I recently made a number of stupid and insensitive remarks to a reporter from the National Journal,” he wrote. “I am deeply sorry and sincerely apologize for my carelessness and disregard.”

The only people who ever believed Schweitzer would be a serious candidate for president are people who'd only sorta half paid attention to him, or political press faking it enough to con their editors into greenlighting a free trip to Montana.
