<![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> I didn't realize she hated gays, too. Geez. What a woman.

Leona Helmsley's will left 12 million dollars to her canine companion. I completely understand how she adored her dog - many of us love ours deeply, too. And in her case, it may have been the only thing that loved her back. I just wish she would have shown her love for all dogs, or even all animals, and not just her own particular dog. Imagine how many pets could have been spayed and neutered for that amount of money, or how many dogs could have been saved from the evils of dogfighting. Her little shih tzu will not know the difference between a diamond-encrusted collar, and one bought from Target. I hope the brother she appointed to be her dog's caretaker, will keep other animals in mind as well. What is good for the animal kingdom, is good for one cute little spoiled pooch.

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> a bitch will usually have one redeeming feature, and it's not uncommon for a queen bee to have a coterie of homosexual syncophants at her side. this just goes to prove that Leona really was a miserable wench. because really what's the point in being a total cunt if you're not a gay icon?

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> I thought you weren't allowed to have a cabana is homosexuals weren't involved?

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

Thats what I'm singing for journalism.

Curse_of_NursePornstein

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> How many gays are there in a coterie? And, more important, how many gays and hangers-on are needed to care for one elderly lady? (Admittedly, since we are talking about Cindy Adams' mom, the old bat was surely into triple digits, but still.)

I hate to think what sort of creepy queers Cindy Adams would call "my gays."

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> @Honoria Glossop: @josh speed: Actually, it was in Spy a billion years ago. I still have that issue, with the eye-searing drawing of a topless Leona on the exerbike.

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> Victor Colicchio, in this story tells of how her gays (one can only assume) would walk back and forth as a young Leona did pool laps, carrying trays full of shrimp. She'd accept a shrimp for each lap completed... WTF!? Funny story...

josh speed

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> Well, I had Leona kicked out of my sixth grade rollerskating birthday party, so I guess it's only fair.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> the daily telegraph ALWAYS comes up with the best tidbits:

A liveried servant bearing a silver platter of freshly-cooked shrimps would be required to attend Leona's early morning sessions in the swimming pool; at the end of each lap the servant would hand her a shrimp to swallow ("Feed Mama," she would cry, as if she were a performing marine mammal).

no poolside gays? where's the fun in that?!

Harry_Greek

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> Maybe Cindy's frightened staff of mincing nellies should have stuck around for the next part of Leona's sentence, which was "...but I WILL have them in my glorious mansion! Like Thomas Jefferson's children by Sally Hemmings, you deserve to be in the Big House! God, I love you all!"

Sara Benincasa

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> Odd. She always treated other minority employees with respect. In fact, I once heard her say that she preferred "brown" maids to white ones because "the little white piggies bruise like peaches."

I will not have homosexuals in my cab, Anna.


rod

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> I wonder if Leona had any idea that the word "queen" had more than one connotation. If not, I'm guessing she's having a screaming fit from the grave about now.

]]> <![CDATA[Leona Helmsley Didn't Hate All The Gays, Just The Homosexual Ones]]> "I will not have homosexuals in my cabana" is just a coded reference to Patrick Ward.
