That bitch Gawker got to this New York Observer item first, but we will re-iterate what wonderful news it is that Vincent Gallo is a Republican. Though it seems the GOP has been slow to embrace the smelly-but-still-inexplicably famous auteur: "I used to go to the Rush Limbaugh show with my best friend Johnny Ramone. . .and Rush never … acknowledged us." (You should have tried to sell him dope, silly!)

Finally, a movie star (or "star") for the Republicans (or, as we like to call them, "Tighty Whities") to be embarrassed about. He makes Howard Dean seem sane! Elsewhere in NYO's Transom, a Google search reveals that to date, no one on the web has penned the phrase, "Katha Pollitt is having a hard time letting go." Do your part, people!
