Strange Bedfellows

All right, this is starting to get out of control:

St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak have been together so much that aides are calling them Brokeback Mayors.

More than once, aides have been reminded of the movie's signature line: "I wish I knew how to quit you."

Back in my day, a mayoral aide implying such a thing about their boss would get him fired, not approving headlines in the paper. I guess times have changed. At this rate, the guy who proposes Coleman and Rybak stage dive, hand-in-hand, off the Gay Men's Chorus float in the Pride Parade is liable to get the keys to the city.
