The it -- was watching this is -- -- were you know the World Series of -- jurisprudence.

Paul Willey told -- about lot minute else's past.

Not enough to get him elected him and -- Hello so -- you know it's -- -- I think it's just way too early to know I think.

I -- he actually made it very interesting point they used to be you know when celebrity's in show business so I guess and I guess.

Anderson Cooper counts -- that way.

It would be a big PR roll out you know be Ellen DeGeneres on the cover of time magazine that kind of thing in the world -- changed.

And it's no big deal anymore still oral -- it is a big deal was treated everywhere news from the times -- it was and every every site.

And I think I think.

You know I think the world has changed views of this issue a lot -- that hasn't completely changed instilled.

Certainly there's still some bigotry out there but also there's a novelty about it people still can't quite get -- mines around the fact that there are.

Prominent people in public life who are gay and who they may not know -- -- so.

You know on the other hand it was like before July 4 and it was hardly an earthquake and the wind weird thing about the times -- that I.

I find odd that talked people about over there was developed as well -- I was there.

If you don't know you -- really -- -- -- you decide how large something is being really played in the paper cuts is something that leads the -- for ten minutes may be on page B 22.

This in the paper now and that was that was not on the front page of the web -- to be sure but nowhere near the front page of the actual paper.

And I notice it -- announced -- -- and although a handy.

They are not literally gone the wrong.

They would you don't forget it would have gotten -- -- also ignore would have no dramatic collateral deal directly but eventually then Jon Stewart what I -- another.

-- and a model on which would have delighted.

Everyone and I will be Karzai's to have -- on -- great talking and I never have good rest of the summer.
