Bruce Jenner’s shocking and outrageous revelation

As he was to many in my generation, Bruce Jenner was an icon in my youth. So it’s not surprising that his recent announcement — that he is a woman — has taken the Internet by storm.

Obviously, the idea of a star Olympic athlete changing his sex is shocking and titillating.

But if you think that is shocking, well, another admission by Jenner has caused even more controversy.  There is something worse.

Much worse:

Arguably the most shocking revelation in the ABC interview was that Jenner said he is a Republican. Certainly that announcement prompted the most vitriolic outbursts on Twitter, as compiled by The Blaze. Which also is some sort of statement about 21st-century America.

Yes, tolerance is one thing. But clearly, there are limits.

    It is not surprising to me that many people are shocked to discover that Bruce Jenner is a Republican. I had a good friend named Kate who refused to believe that Ray Charles was a Republican. Her reason was: “He plays piano and sings too well to be a Republican.” As silly as it sounds, a lot of people think like that.

    We all know that being a transsexual is a right explicitly protected by the Constitution. Being a Republican is not.

    Thanks – I needed a chuckle (not that he’s a Republican but the reaction to that…).

    Just hope the Republicans have the sense to keep their mouths SHUT on the subject.

    Wow! She must suffer from a severe case of cognitive dissonance; supporting a political party that not only refuses to recognize her gender identification, but is actively working to force her to be treated as something she is not.

    Well, no one says an athlete must be smart, I suppose.

    I’m pretty shocked Jenner thinks the GOP is any more interested in the Constitution than the Dems.

    newrouter, you I suggest you go read the definition of the word “strawman.”
