When Vice President Joe Biden spoke out in support of gay marriage Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, he touted the network’s former hit Will & Grace as having done much to educate people on the subject. It apparently wasn't the first time Biden had spoken similar words. The show’s co-creator Max Mutchnick said Biden had mentioned Will & Grace in a similar context several weeks before his endorsement.

“My husband and I were at a private function two weeks prior to the Meet the Press airing,” Mutchnick said Thursday on CBS This Morning. “Vice President Biden was talking to a small group and he made the reference to Will and Grace in that room and called me out at that moment.”

Mutchnick went on to speculate that Biden and President Barack Obama’s unveiling of their support for gay marriage had been “very choreographed,” noting the White House had recorded Biden’s remarks at the earlier event.

“He was testing the material out of town and then he took it to a larger house, Meet the Press,” Mutchnick said.

“very choreographed,”

Yup. With the media very willing to cover the "breaking news".

That’s not the only part. My bud here in L.A. used to work on that set and almost everyone on the production staff was a flaming fag. They just hated anything, anyone conservative. His only relief were smoke breaks outside the studio after the recording sessions. Now he works for a smaller “3 letter network” on cable, and happier as he’s with like-minded people.
