William Gheen, the head of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, loves chickens.<\/p>\n

I mean he really<\/em> loves them. Obsessively. Carnally.<\/p>\n

That's why I am officially calling for William Gheen to make his chicken-stuffing lifestyle public knowledge in the interest of political
\nintegrity and national security.<\/p>\n

William Gheen copulates with chickens, and while many people in South Carolina
\nand Washington DC know that, the general public and Gheen's anti-immigration
\nconstituents do not. I
\npersonally do not care about Gheen's private life, but in this
\nsituation his desire to keep this a secret may explain why he is doing a
\nlot of political dirty work for others who have the power to reveal his
\nsecrets. William Gheen needs to come clean and make his chicken-boffing public so the public can rest assured he is not being manipulated with
\nhis secret.<\/p>\n

(See here<\/a> and here<\/a> and here<\/a> for an explanation of why I felt it necessary to speak out against William Gheen \u2014 and in defense of those poor chickens. Actually, though, I doubt William Gheen really could be blackmailed or manipulated by those who know of his double-life as a chicken molester. After all, a boy who's not ashamed to be associated with the imbecilic bigotry of Americans for Legal Immigration couldn't be expected to be embarrassed by the relatively less-shameful abuse of barnyard fowl.) <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
