Someone has a romantic crush on presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.
Had to be that irresistible rape fantasy essay from the 1972.
Whatever the case, comedian and LBGT rights activist Margaret Cho, who’s currently on a national tour called psyCHO, has a hankering for Sanders. Cho, who is bisexual, spilled the news Thursday night to online talk show host Larry King.
Cho said she’s a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter, but said she might turn the tables and back Sanders.
KING: Okay politically are you in Hillary’s corner?
CHO: I am in Hillary’s corner although I have a little crush on Bernie Sanders. I think he’s kind of great.
KING: A lot of young people like him. What about him attracts you? Is it his Cary Grant looks?
CHO: I think he’s very much about telling the truth. He’s talking about how this is all a race about money. These billionaires comparing who has the most money, and that’s actually true when you think about the presidential race. But I have long been a Hillary supporter. I had a hard time deciding between Hillary and Obama. I did go to the Obama camp eventually. But Hillary is great. She’s already been president for eight years. So she already knows the job, so she’s cool.
She does hope Sanders doesn’t pull a Howard Dean horse moment.
CHO: Yes he’s quite “Howard Dean 2.0.” I would warn him not to drink too much coffee. That was Howard Dean’s fatal mistake.
KING: No kidding.
