Mike Rundle is Gay and May Run For Office Again

Written by Scrivs on May 11, 2006

Now it’s very rare when you wake up to an email with a link to a story about Mike Rundle being gay and running for office again, but there it was sitting in my inbox. I read the story and I’ll be damned, but Mike Rundle is gay and actually running for office again in 2007. Guess I shouldn’t have been so soft during the interview process and will make sure to do a thorough screening next time because we simply can’t have politicians working here at 9rules.

Despite his coming out, Rundle may run again in the 2007 election.

  1. Mike Rundle Says:

    And I’d WIN if it weren’t for you pesky kids!!!

    My alter-ego has snapped up all the good name domains too, what a crock.

  2. Dennis Bullock Says:

    Wow, at least you aren’t ashamed of it I guess Mike. But that usually shatters a person’s political career doesn’t it?

  3. karmatosed Says:

    Over in the Uk it just means you have to become a conservative rather than ruining your career.

  4. Paul Stamatiou Says:

    ROFLcopter. =D

  5. Mike Rundle Says:

    Hey Dennis, you must not have realized that I’m a 23 year old guy in North Carolina, and the Mike Rundle Paul’s referring to is a middle-aged gay man living in Kansas, who happens to have the same name as me.

    And if I were gay, which I’m not, why would I be ashamed of it? Do you feel that people should be ashamed of their sexuality or something?

  6. Paul Says:

    “And if I were gay, which I’m not, why would I be ashamed of it?”

    Because in many places it still carries negative stereotypes, especially in politics (I’m not saying that this is right, merely a reason why people might keep quiet about their sexual oreintation).

  7. Dennis Bullock Says:

    Paul got what I was saying…..people just react that way for some reason. I’m not saying its right.

    Hahaha! Priceless!

  9. Martin Says:

    “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

    Sorry, just had to bring out a Seinfeld classic :-)

  10. Shawn Anthony Says:

    Hmmmm … Scrivs, isn’t there some way we can market Rundle’s orientation revelation to pull a bit more traffic toward 9rules? :) LOL.

  11. Scrivs Says:

    Yeah I’m plotting something. We will see what happens.

    [...] uld actually publish an email. Especially when the guy can make a fool of himself so well. 9rules stoops to gay bashing.) [...]

  13. Javier Cabrera (ClearYourMind) Says:

    You have my vote Mike. I’m fat and ugly enough to be with gay people without they felling attracted to me, so you have my vote. I’m safe.

    Take it easy now mate!
