ST. LOUIS, Missouri -- G-Fi pop supergroup The Jefreys were startled to learn this week that they had received an endorsement from the St. Louis Chapter of Queer Nation for their political and artistic efforts. Matt Zimmer, Jefreys' singer and presidential candidate, was given a $1,000 check by Jay Sweeney, president of the QN St. Louis Chapter, to help in their quest for the White House.

"Look, this isn't what you're thinking," Zimmer said, shortly after being questioned by reporters from his hometown newspaper, The Webster-Kirkwood Times. "We happen to support equal rights for all people, and QN obviously has a good taste in music. Really, that's all."

Upon hearing about the donation, guitarist Bryan Erwin was ecstatic. "Hey, I'll take money wherever I can get it," he said, "But like Zimmer said, this doesn't mean anything."

The $1,000 donation from QN is the maximum of amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor under current federal election laws.

"There are many reasons why we did this," Sweeney explained, "We admire Matthew and Bryan's partnership, as well as their insightful lyrics. We can really relate to their early songs, such as 'Sweater Lovin,' about a young man obsessed with fashion; and we all know what they mean by having confusion about E.T.'s gender. Uh-huh."

Zimmer emphasized to reporters that he was a Playboy subscriber.
