I am in a dither and don't know WHAT to make of this!
Is it good that West Hollywood is at last starting to control their drag queens (by putting a ban on letting them dress as President Palin this Halloween), or does it cut into The Right's visibility?

West Hollywood Considers Ban On Sarah Palin Drag Queens - October 21, 2008
McCain Campaign Calls Ban Anti-American. Attempt to “Squash Republican Vote”
In what should send female impersonators and gender benders falling off their 4″ heels and back to the costume drawing board for this coming October 31 dress fests, city officials in West Hollywood, CA are considering a last minute ban on gay parade and party goers posing as Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
“It’s not that we’re against dressing up as Sarah,” said West Hollywood mayor, Mayor Jeffrey Prang. “It’s just so tacky. It’s like thinking of impersonating Marilyn. There’s no challenge. Bangs, heavy rouge to build those high cheek bones and those awful glasses. Voila…you’re Sarah. We expect our residents to lead the way, not come up with something every drunk notary in Bakersfield will be wearing.”
While the rest of America’s optical and cosmetics shops ready extra stock in preparation for a Halloween run on Palin glasses and lipstick, the McCain campaign calls the West Hollywood ban an obvious attempt to squash the Republican vote in California.
“You’re not hearing them banning Joe Biden drag queens,” said Palin spokesman, Tucker Bounds. “Pro-American Halloweeners would never think of banning candidate look-alikes. It’s clear that these guys are in bed with Obama.”
“Don’t we wish,” vamped long-forgotten Rupaul. “But nothing could be further from the truth. There’s also a ban on Manny Ramirez dredlocks and Barack Obama ears.”
The ban would go into effect just after the West Hollywood Annual Doggy Costume Contest.
“You want to dress up your Lhasa Apso as Sarah, fine,” said Prang, “But if that’s all you can think of, why not just go to a Halloween store in Kansas and buy a princess costume.”
“For Tallulah Bankhead’s sake, boys, let’s use our imagination,” mocked Richard Simmons. “We’re supposed to be gay, not Log Cabin Republicans.”
