Republican sexuality
In honour of American Secretary of State
Condi Rice's
visit to Canada: "This week President Bush's second Supreme Court nominee,
Harriet Miers, joined the swelling ranks of high-powered Republicans with, um -- how to put it? -- ambiguous sexual orientations,"
writes blogger and gay activist John Aravosis.
"The club of what we'll call 'closet heterosexuals' also includes such luminaries as the very single Republican National Committee chairman
Ken Mehlman, California congressman
David Dreier, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Miers, 61, has never been married, has no kids, doesn't appear to have any serious love interests, and has a special place in her heart for softball."
Homos and women do what they need to do to survive.
ADDED FRIDAY: We won't have Miers to kick around any more. In retrospect, gay groups get
all nicey-nice about her.
ADDED OCT. 31: It's back to normal today, with
gay groups grumping.
