Anybody's guess? Maybe the only Southerners he knows are smarmy grandmother grifting politicians.C'mon, it's not as if Senator Graham or Rep. Cantor sound like John Wayne or any other representation of a "real" American. Or Texan.And here he is on the -- and we can't believe we're typing this -- relative femininity of Southern men, in which he actually says House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) seems gay:
Last week, I called him on the night Majority Leader Eric Cantor was defeated in his GOP primary. "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."Why Schweitzer felt the need to make these comments is anybody's guess. What's pretty clear is that he's got basically no filter. So what seems folksy and spontaneous one day could just as easily turn into campaign-ending gaffe the next day.
Still, the stand-out absurdity is B.S. self-rating his "gaydar."
