'Glee' Cheerio Coach Sue Sylvester Gives Thanks... Sort Of

Glee cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, played brilliantly by out lesbian Jane Lynch, is the queen of inappropriate and the antithesis of politically correct. There's no surprise that even a touchy, feel-good holiday like Thanksgiving won't soften the Cherrios leader's strut through her TV world.

You don't have to watch Glee very long to realize that cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester, played brilliantly by out lesbian Jane Lynch, is the queen of inappropriate and the antithesis of politically correct.

So, it should come as no surprise that even a touchy, feel-good holiday like Thanksgiving would not soften the Cherrios leader's strut through her TV world.

What is Sue Sylvester thankful for (aside from nine more Glee episodes to be filmed early in 2010)?

"I'm thankful for bamboo's durability and resistance to splintering, making my ‘discipline cane' the perfect teaching tool," Sue shares.

Lynch has gotten to say some of the best, although often cringe worthy, lines in the first season of the new Fox TV sensation. Here are 10 of my favorites, what are yours?

1. You think this was hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they're going in another direction. That was hard.

2. I, for one, think intimacy has no place in a marriage. Walked in on my parents once and it was like seeing two walruses wrestling.

3. I can't stand the sight of kids getting emotional, unless it's from physical exhaustion.

4. I empower my Cheerios to be champions. Do they go to college? I don't know. I don't care. Should they learn Spanish? Sure, if they wanna become dishwashers and gardeners.

5. I empower my Cheerios to live in fear by creating an environment of irrational, random terror.

6. I like minorities so much, I'm thinking of moving to California to become one.

7. I always thought the desire to procreate showed deep personal weakness.

8. You're dealing with children. They need to be terrified. It's like mother's milk to them.

9. I'll often yell at homeless people: 'Hey, how is that homelessness working out for you? Try not being homeless for once.'

10. Caning works! And I think it's about time we did a little more of it right here... yes, we.
