As you may have read by now, President Obama’s speech yesterday about gay rights got interrupted by a duck ring tone.
Kinda weird, huh? But former WW staffer Byron Beck learned that it came from Oregon and yes, it’s a Ducks fan. Beck reported (in a post that he’s since taken down from his blog) that the caller/prankster was gay rights leader/fund-raising powerhouse/Ducks fan Terry Bean.
If the president was unhappy with the UO intrusion, just imagine what his brother-in-law thinks.

Beans to the President? Oh wait, guess Portland’s Gay Rights Chapter, doesn’t get enough National attention, what with our mayor and all, so lets keep the silly cell phone on?… ew…..not even at the movies, dudiebean.
Guess it’s sort of better than standing there licking an Orange Creamsicle, and having it run down his hand to his elbow and onto the carpet, while he’s in the honorable presence of President Hope, himself.
Seriously…. is there anything else the State of Oregon and City of Portland could do right now to embarrass itself anymore? Goodbye Sam, you’re not credible. When’s the recall anyway?
Aside from Bean working the scene with his (not) cute quack, does the Gay Rights fight in Oregon even begin to have a clue?
Uh kids….. you do not show up at a job at a Brooks Bros. interview dressed in tight white hot pants trimmed in pink ruffles, weaing a tube top and roller skates, with your Britney Spears ring tone set to go off when you get called in,….no matter how cute the home team thinks you might look.
Or do you seriously think the fight for Gay Rights is all about how many times you can shrilly scream the word “homophobe”, and air videos of Right Wing Religious Fanatics singing a doo wop to Jesus?
Mr Stern, the link to Mr Beck’s blog page cannot be found.
It is now common knowledge that it was the phone of Talk Radio News Service’s Ellen Ratner that quacked. She talked about her embarrassment and fowl affection on ‘POJ this morning and, apparently, yesterday, since a commenter on BlueOregon noted her culpability last evening.
Once again, your erstwhile colleague Mr Beck has shown himself to be severely limited in his attention to the facts of a story.
