Asshat of the Day: North Carolina Governor Mike Easley

I don’t care that he’s a Democrat, and I don’t care whether he said it during an endorsement, or was caught unawares in private. “Pansy” is, was, and always will be code for “faggot” — effeminate, weak, limp-wristed, worthy-of-disdain “faggot”. It’s a nasty slur, and if Easley doesn’t realize why it’s so offensive, he needs to enroll in Homophobia 101, pronto:

Hillary ‘makes Rocky look like a pansy’

RALEIGH, NC — North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley (D) made his endorsement official this morning, saying that Hillary Clinton “gets it” and is a fighter who he said “makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy.”
