My friend texted me this morning that he resigned.

My response, “was he finally outed as being gay?”

That was one of the worst kept secrets on the hill. At one point, he was considered on the fast track to the Senate. Too bad, he would’ve fit in well in that den of thieves.

It always seemed self-evident to me that he is gay.

I'm not so concerned about that. Using his position in Congress to pad his own nest???

Yeah, that's a much bigger deal.

I'm not one of those who'll try to minimize this by complaining that Dimocrats do it all the time. Since when do Conservatives want to be judged by THEIR standard?

It’s well known in Peoria (his district) that he’s gay. At least that’s what a former girlfriend (from Peoria) told me.

I hate when we do that. We want the gay Nazis to shut up but then we want to force Republicans to say they are gay.....Linda is always being begged by Conservatives to come out of the closet.....Why the hell do we want that? Are we that far gone that we want Republicans to claim they are gay?
