Oh, Jesus H. Christmas. I never saw this coming. Angry gay Republicans devolving into new levels of self-delusion, false accusation, and just plain silliness. The Gay Patriot is my Wanker of the Day.

Why crib “wanker of the day” from Atrios?
I would agree that that guy is the LIMBAUGH of the day.
I read that linked post and about 75 comments. I need a brain reboot.
cuz Atrios owes me five bucks. How’s that brain reboot going?
Real “50s feel” to these guys. Still trying to sort out in their minds whether Joe McCarthy was right to persecute them.
I say out everyone on capital hill!!!
The Only Place Worse Than The Closet
I love this, Refinish!
Thanks!!!!
whether Foley is gay…what I do care about is his carrying on at work with male pages who may or may not have been of legal age (age of consent in DC is 16, while age of consent in Foley’s home state is 18).
Maybe if the Republicans and Religious Reich weren’t demonizing homosexuality, some of these closeted folks might be able to have mature healthy same-sex relationships instead of sneaking around with folks of dubious ages. But that’s just my POV…
carrying on at work with male pages
So far, they have all been ex-pages, though that may change if the story about drunkenly trying to enter the page’s dorm is true. Speaking of other shoes dropping eventually, unless Foley figured it out on his own it seems like someone in leadership (Gingrich?) or high-level staff warned him shortly after arriving in Washington that propositioning current pages could create a major scandal. If something like that came out, it could be the biggest negative bombshell of the whole scandal for Republicans.
Foley is a pedophile,likes children or young adults, who have not reached the age of consent. I believe the media is trying to cover Foley’s pedophila into a gayness issue /”Alcoholic issue”
Foley leave the young adults alone so they will only be messed up when W has re-instate the draft and those youngsters will have to serve in Ira(q)

Had to spin it some how.
I tried to point out to the Gay Patriot that Corn suggests the list was compiled by Republicans, not Mike Rogers (for one thing, they seem to have access to roughly twice as many names as there are on his website). I got this bizarre reply (from a gay Republican, no less) quoting Corn saying the list was put together by “gay politicos”, not Republicans. Apparently, it has never occurred to this person who is both that it is possible to be both. Even though the list in question consists entirely of people who are both. My head is spinning now.
