That's not to say a gay man couldn't host the Oscars (an out gay man--Rock Hudson co-hosted in 1973), but it's hard to think offhand of one who could. Lesbians simply don't inspire the kind of social-sexual unease that gay men do. Two chicks kissing is a male fantasy, a sweeps stunt. Two dudes kissing is gross-out humor. It's Sacha Baron Cohen open-mouthing Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights. It's a million Brokeback Mountain jokes. It's the Snickers Super Bowl ad, in which two mechanics locked lips while sharing...

...This year seems different, given the early start to the race and so many "rock star candidates." I don't remember seeing this much excitement, especially among the Democrats, especially at the huge Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama rallies. I wonder if Iowans will grow weary, especially as the rock stars need to appear in coliseums and convention halls to meet the early, popular demand. But as the campaigning goes on and on and on, how many rallies for how many candidates can an ordinary Iowan enthusiastically attend? The people at Obama's recent town hall in Des Moines already...
