Play A Parlor Game With Bossy!

ron-paul-sign

For the past two months whenever Bossy would spy this Presidential candidate’s lawn sign, she’d think there was something vaguely familiar about the guy’s name. And then one day she realized it was this:

rupaul-sign

Oh what a different election it would be if RuPaul were on the ballot instead of Ron Paul. Which is why Bossy created the following game:

ron-paul-ruPaul

Can you match which facts belong to which Paul?

  6. I think I love you.

    Ron Paul is whackadoo.
    RuPaul is whack.

    (if, by whack, I mean very cool and neat-oh as one would say if one were born in the early-70’s and has yet to develop a grasp of the talk as the kids talk. if it means something else entirely, then RuPaul is just cool and neat-oh)

    (done embarrassing myself now)

  12. I shared a bed with his brothahs, too. Just kidding.

    I love RuPaul, though his song several years back led to many taunts directed at me. (My real name was mentioned several times in that song “Supermodel”)

  13. In high school, we were out partying in down town Atlanta. We saw Ru Paul (Star Booty, himself!) and ran over to get autographs. He cowered and begged us not to “beat him up”. (Later, when he got over his fear of us big, bad, punk-rock, poseur kids, Ru Paul was so cool and gave autographs.) Why can’t more politicians be like that? They just have no fear of their constituents.
    Neither is probably very interested in the plight of the va-jay-jay. Sigh

  17. I totally thought the same thing!!! At first I thought it was Rupaul and was VERY disappointed to learn he was not running under the republican ticket.

  20. Woo-Hoo!!!! RuPaul for Prez!

    He’s too pretty, Hil will eat him for breakfast.

    Or, they can exchange style tips.

    Yay!! For va-jay-jays, real and faux.

  31. Get your government out of my home! Unless you want to make a choice about your reproductive rights! In that case, more government!

    I wish RuPaul would run, and I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that thinks of her when I see Ron Paul signs.

  35. And here I thought I was the only one who giggles a little everytime I see those signs. I could never quite get myself to “Google Ron Paul” like the signs along the freeway told me to. But I’m a rebel like that.

  36. I totally thought of Ru Paul when I heard that name. Also, we have a local flaming hairdesser called Ron Paul. I’d vote for him. (By “him” I mean, the hairdresser. Or Ru Paul.)

  42. Still getting over the fact that they’re not one and the same. This is what happens when you don’t tune in to debates.

    I am having a hard time imagining Ru Paul dealing successfully with fundamentalist Muslim countries, however. I’m silly that way. (Thanks for the hearty laughs, Bossy)

  52. Once I was at the municipal aquarium with my mother. When she read on a plaque that grouper can change their sex to achieve gender balance in their environment, she said, “Hmmm. Mrs. RuPaul’s fish sticks!” Mom is almost as cool as Bossy.

  54. You GO Bossy! Sheeee-iiiiittt! That was damned funny. You know, if Ru Paul were really running, I think I’d finally be interested in politics. I mean come ON. He can out dress Hilary any day of the week, as she’s a much bigger dyke than Ru (and I like Hilary). Sigh. Sadly, we’re stuck with what we got, but thanks for the time in fantasy land. You rule, Bossy-pooh!

  60. I am laughing so hard it is difficult to formulate my political position.

    I have been seeing the signs for Ron Paul but had no idea who he was. I’m happy to find out that he is a drag (as opposed to being a drag queen which would at least make him more interesting).

  65. This is the kind of drive-by commentary where the author has no responsibility to know the facts or have any depth about what they’re talking about.

    Ron Paul…
    – wants to legalize marijuana and other narcotics acknowledging that the war on drugs is a failure
    – wants to free non-violent drug offenders from prison
    – thinks the government should stay out of the gay marriage issue (it’s a contract between consenting adults)
    – voted against the patriot act (the thing that has shredded your liberties)
    – voted against the war in Iraq (the thing that is maiming a generation of volunteers)
    – thinks homosexuals shouldn’t be discharged from the military based on their orientation
    – supports a non-interventionist foreign policy

    Sure, it’s funny to note the similarity in the name. I chuckled when he first came on my radar.

    After that, I would encourage you to actually look into where he stands on the issues and don’t take this amusing but factually incorrect blog post as your marching orders for an incredibly important election. There’s too much at stake.

  67. There are no words to express my gratitude. I now know I am not the only person who visualizes “RuPaul” whenever the name Ron Paul comes up in anyone’s conversation. I’ve been harboring this secret for a few months.

    I also wonder if Ron Paul wins the primary, would he be willing to ask RuPaul to run with him? Paul Paul 08!

  70. OMG this is too too funny. That’s really all I can say. TOO FUNNY. I will never look at Ron Paul without seeing flashes of pink feather boa.
