Talk about “Don't Ask, Don't Tell”
has landed a second woman on Anderson Cooper's The Ridiculist.
Self-described prophet Cindy Jacobs has
joined Cindy McCain, the wife Arizona Senator John McCain, on the
list.
McCain's quick shift on “Don't Ask,
Don't Tell,” the soon-to-be repealed law that bans gay and bisexual
troops from serving openly, first landed her on the list.
Cindy McCain's appearance in a video to
support gay teens sponsored by the NOH8 Campaign suggested that she
disagreed with her husband on the policy. But
less than 24 hours after the video's debut, McCain backtracked,
tweeting to her followers that she stands “by my husband's stance
on DADT.”
“Holding two completely contradictory
positions at the same time? That doesn't make any sense,” Cooper
said on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. “She's for it and
against it at the same time. It's kind of ridiculous.”
Cooper also called ridiculous Jacob's
theory that repeal of the law is responsible for the deaths of
thousands of birds and fish in Arkansas.
“That's right, gays serving openly in
the military somehow equals massive avian fatalities,” Cooper said
in Tuesday night's segment. (The video is embedded in the right
panel of this page.)
