Candy Sheehan, the former mayor of Coppell, was compared to former Miss Alternative Ireland (1997) , Shirely Temple Bar, yesterday in Dublin on RTE.
Too bad Candy Sheehan didn't know about Ireland's beloved, uncrowned queen, Shirley Temple Bar, when she was told she looked just like her! When asked by RTE presenter Derek Mooney if she and Coppell were Bush supporters, former mayor Sheehan replied "We just love him!" Mooney then told Sheehan that she reminded him of Shirley Temple Bar. Sheehan didn't recognize the name--guess she doesn't follow Tellybingo, but Mooney reassured her that Shirley was "a very popular girl"!
Poor Shirley! Imagine being compared to such a right-wing wacko! The International Gay and Lesbian community should be outraged by this incident. Shirley's a doll, while Sheehan, both inside and out, seems to be something of a nightmare. If you want to compare for yourself, just check out these links:

Bush & Co. seek no less than theutter destruction of alternative lifestyles. Haven't you heard about Bush's proposed constitutional amendment that allows only heterosexual partnerships? Did you know that yesterday all protection for U.S. federal workers against alt lifestyle discrimination was removed by a Bush appointee?

Candy Sheehan represents all that is despicable about those who blindly and blithely follow the misleader. Do you think Ms. Sheehan and her ilk would support Shirley Temple Bar's right to be who she is or to work with the public? People like Ms. Bar are very much in the gunsights of the Bush neocons--as are all of us who disagree with them. And they will come for us all eventually. Silly crap? A\
You've fleshed it out a bit, fair enough, however it is a tad contrived to jump from a media interview with some half witted right wing non-entity to a call for worlwide outrage.
"People like Ms. Bar are very much in the gunsights of the Bush neocons". Well I would have thought it was the Iraqi people actually in their gunsights.
This is Ireland, by the way, if your hackles are raised every time some throwback is allowed to infest the airwaves you'll be pissed off "24/7" as a septic might put it..

What does alternative mean. I fail to see how a corporate lawyer (for example) is 'alternative' because he likes to be buggered.

State Validated Partnerships. We are all free to love who we please.

What does alternative mean. Am I supposed to love the log cabin republicans because they identify as homosexuals. Anyone working for the US State is not our ally.
This article is an insult to Candy Sheehan who looks nothing like Shirley Temple Bar (who looks disgusting by the way).
What part of the States are you from?
