Queering don't make the world work

ultimatweqr.JPGAs you've probably heard, The Ultimate Warrior, or, as age seems to have given him humility, just "Warrior", did a fantastic speech for the UConn College Republicans last Tuesday, in which he managed to surpass a level of wingnut NeoCon assery that would have made Hitler do a spit-take. Here's a clip of the resulting fallout :

"Warrior lost the crowd when he said, 'Queering don't make the world work.' When an Iranian student asked him a question, Warrior said he needed to 'get a towel.' As you can imagine, this caused another outburst. Other students then told Warrior he needed to apologize for the remark. Warrior showed a video where he ripped up an Iraqi flag."

We link to four video clips of the Warrior in action that night, (really, you must watch them all: 1,2,3 and 4) along with a fine wrap up of the whole deal at Lethal Wrestling.com, which includes the apology letter issued by both UConn and Wiggy Mantits himself.
