Poofters all around

All knowing blogger, Princess Sparkle Pony, reports this morning that one Mr. David Phillips has won his First Amendment battle with the Virginia DMV. Phillips -- known mostly as that guy who had sex with Larry Craig one time -- wanted to keep his "poofter," or "queer" in Britian, license plates that he's had for the past 10 years. And the Virginia government relented.

Here's Phillips celebratory remarks, according to the Princess:

VA DMV called this morning to back down. I had sent their generic plates back last week directly to the head of the DMV with a very strong letter regarding First Amendment rights. The new manager for Special Plates called to acknowledge receipt of the substitute plates and to orally declare the issue closed. As I told my office mate, don't fuck with a queen over 40 -- you will not win.

No word on whether Sen. Craig has also sent his congrats.
