Will Ellen Confront John McCain?
Let the fireworks begin. Maybe.
John McCain is going to appear on The Ellen Show this Thursday, May 22, and there is one question on everyone's minds: Is Ellen DeGeneres going to broach the topic of gay marriage with the presidential hopeful?
Ellen tends to stay away from being overtly political on her show. She bowled with Hillary Clinton and busted a move with Barack Obama. But it is hard to imagine her not addressing the topic of gay marriage with McCain.
The world's leading lesbian announced that she and Portia de Rossi were becoming Mrs. and Mrs. DeGeneres-de Rossi right after gay marriage recently became legal in California, and she even asked Justin Timberlake to perform at her wedding when he was on the show the other day.
If Ellen does discuss gay marriage with McCain, it is hard to imagine her not getting emotional about it. Look how worked up she got over that whole dog adoption mess last year.
We could very well see a showdown the likes of Rosie O'Donnell vs. Tom Selleck. Remember their uncomfortable on-air spat over gun control?
But do we want to see Ellen get into it with McCain over gay marriage? Will you be disappointed if she doesn't bring it up, or is her daytime chat show the wrong forum for a debate on the issue?
