Well, the millionaire nonentity is back on his duck-oriented "reality" show, no fuss, no bother, and HRC, craven as always, is calling it a "victory."
From Fred Sainz, HRC's vice-president:
Assurances? "Assurances" are what the IOC is happy with from the Russian government. Also known as "Don't rock the boat."
A&E has also promised to air public service announcements "promoting unity, tolerance, and acceptance among all people." Any guesses on whether Daddy Duck or any of his ducklings will participate?
I had hopes for a change in direction from HRC under Chad Griffin. I'm still waiting.
From Fred Sainz, HRC's vice-president:
It's not really a reversal [to reinstate Phil Robertson]. We think it's actually a positive outcome, and we want to thank A&E for their attentiveness and collaboration over the course of the last few weeks. We've received assurances also that the Robertson family is now open to working with African-American and (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people to address the real harm that such anti-gay and racist comments can cause. That's been our 'ask' since Phil's comments ran in GQ, and while it's a positive step, it certainly cannot and should not be the last one.
