Comedy Central and Tommy Christopher in Feud

I already wrote this up at AOL, but I did it in “serious voice,” complete with Doogie Howser end-phrase, because I take DADT so seriously.  I thought I’d give the inside scoop here. You all know I asked about Don’t ask/Don’t tell at Friday’s briefing, and the clip got a lot of attention. What’s really [...]

Inside The White House Press Briefing Room
