Democrat Brian Schweitzer vulgarly trash-talks both parties, might run for president

Schweitzer is incredulous that Feinstein — considered by her critics to be too close to the intelligence community — was now criticizing the agency. "She was the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, 'I'm a nun,' when it comes to this spying!" he says. Then, he adds, quickly, "I mean, maybe that's the wrong metaphor — but she was all in!"

"Don't hold this against me, but I'm going to blurt it out. How do I say this... men in the South, they are a little effeminate," he offered when I mentioned the stunning news. When I asked him what he meant, he added: "They just have effeminate mannerisms. If you were just a regular person, you turned on the TV, and you saw Eric Cantor talking, I would say — and I'm fine with gay people, that's all right — but my gaydar is 60-70 percent. But he's not, I think, so I don't know. Again, I couldn't care less. I'm accepting."
