Hillary: State Dept. ‘Instrumental in Sealing Deal’ For Lady Gaga’s Gay Pride Gig in Rome

By Penny Starr | June 28, 2011 | 13:51

A  A

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday that the State Department played an instrumental role in “sealing the deal” for pop-rock star Lady Gaga to perform at a gay pride rally in Rome, Italy.

Clinton specifically pointed to a letter that David Thorne, the U.S. ambassador to Italy, sent to Lady Gaga urging her to participate in the event.

“And then there is the work that our embassy team in Rome has been doing,” Clinton said. “Two weeks ago they played an instrumental role in bringing Lady Gaga to Italy for a Euro Pride concert.

“Now as many of you know Lady Gaga is Italian American and a strong supporter of LGBT rights,” said Clinton. “And the organizers of the Euro Pride event desperately wanted her to perform and a letter to her from Ambassador Thorne was instrumental in sealing the deal.”

What frigging planet am I living on nowadays?!?!

If this wasn't so sad, it would really be funny.

obama is having trouble getting his mojo back with the young adults who still live at home with their parents so helping this circus act get to Italy is an attempt to show obama is still hip with the kids.

The questions just keep piling up over this so-called “administration” handling of foreign affairs – and this latest episode is just another sickening waste of the credibility of the U.S.

Flacking for Gaga and Italian homos is "embassy work"?

Submitted by SickofLibs on Tue, 06/28/2011 - 2:39pm.

How about putting your State Dept. to work on behalf of our OWN homos, Hillary?

In fact I think it's high time we had US Homo Embassies in San Fran and SoHo to name a few. Get on it.

At least that what the LuGButTs say.

That sounds like a riot!  You should make it a reality TV show.

Next time just tell the officials that you are gay, and they should check with Hillary if there are any questions.

Much easier to visit the Conch Republic.

Going to Guatemala I mean.

Because we snuck out. And sure as shooting we ARE IN THEIR COMPUTER NOW!

Maybe if we change cars or something, and I'll drive. I do want to go back, there are some really beautiful places there.

But yeah, that was a trip and a half....particularly our Escape From Guatemala.

Where's Eric Holder on this,

Submitted by killa37 on Tue, 06/28/2011 - 10:44pm.

Where's Eric Holder on this, Dave??? This guy is obviously a 'black' guy, so it appears that he is being prejudiced against.................and that shouldn't be happening under the Obama REGIME!!
Remember Holder's statements for NOT going after the Black Panthers at the Philadelphia voting stations...............

Oh, wait............he appears to be a responsible 'black' guy who actually is trying to better himself and get 'ahead' (if that is possible these days) in life with his talents and training. Plus,he's in the military!!!! I guess that explains everything.............

And if he never turned in the first non-filled-out application, how the hell can they say that he had applied before??? Very weird................................
