Does Details Swing Both Ways?

BENDING OVER BACKWARDS Details
Compensating much, Details? Perhaps tired of all the gay jokes (even those coming from inside the house), the most effeminate "straight" rag on the newsstand shows its bi-curious side in this month's holiday issue. A back-page essay leers on about just how great it would be if we had a superhot First Lady in the Oval Office.
Titled "Backlash," the mini-rant replaces the old back-page feature, "Gay or...", which, in line with Details' traditional purview, was nothing more than an excuse to float a bunch of tired gay innuendos (and occasionally offend Asian people). "Just how cool would it be to see Jeri Thompson lean over the president's desk in the Oval Office?" asks Details. You see, a "FLILF" wouldn't just be good for America—"it will be good for our libidos." You see? It's practically our civic duty to vote for Dennis Kucinich!
