Ellen DeGeneres gives bigoted politician a call...

God bless Ellen DeGeneres.

More and more, she is using her television show to speak out about injustice and always does it with just the right tone. I haven't posted about Oklahoma state Representative Sally Kern's anti-gay tirade where she declared that "I honestly think (homosexuality is) the biggest threat, even more than terrorism" because I was afraid I'd go off and call her a %@#! and a *&#@%!!!!!

Ellen played for her audience the horrible words spoken by this woman and the looks on the faces of her audiences as they listened spoke volumes.

"I feel like there's some misinformation going on here and I think I need to call her," Ellen told the audience.

As she listened to the phone ring, Ellen added, "I'm trying to figure out which societies have disappeared that we don't know about."

Kern's voicemail was full (gee, big surprise) so Ellen left a message via the airwaves: "Give me call, I'm here usually and also later on I'll be at the Dinah Shore Golf Tournament, of course, that's if it doesn't conflict with the women's basketball games I go to."
