To (gay) bash, or not to bash. That is the Question
for the Republican leaders, or course.

Gingrich was the first and others joined him to "explain" why they did not expose Foley earlier. They did not want to appear as "gay bashers."

But, if they still want their base, this is the wrong approach. Certainly their base is all for gay bashing. They do not think that their party should be desecrated by an openly gay member. This is how Rove has been running the campaigns: bashing gays. So if all of a sudden prominent Republicans are sensitive about - gasp - gay bashing, then perhaps they no longer represent the bible thumpers.

1. So according to Hastert's Chicago Tribune response.....
FIrst....Bill Clinton called George Soros and told him he needed some money to give to a Miami newspaper, so they could bribe a former page from Louisiana, to email and instant message a bunch of porno emails written, only to set up the Speaker of the House, by taunting a drunk Florida Congressman who likes little boys, and has to down a couple of drinks while masturbating just before a Congressional floor vote, so that ABC can run a scoop "October Surprise", showing how the internal fighting between scandal-riddled Ohio Congressman Boehner (he he ...he said Boehner), forcing the resignation of the senior aide to New York's Reynolds because the drunk Congressman just had to wack one off online, only to use this to stick it Bush for wiretapping half of Baghdad so he can find some more enemy combatants, who were actually murdered along with the other 3,300 last July in what the Iraqi parliament has been calling a civil war for a year, and make the Speaker have to repeat, in his apology to the page's family, for not doing anything about it when he was told- because everyone who said he knew is a poopy liar, and having to repeat what Karl Rove told him to say, after the whole former FBI director Louis Freeh's overseeing a new and improved review of the page program, instead of a legal investigation, was destroyed by the mastermind of evil, Nancy ' The Slayer' Pelosi, decided that four dozen subpoenas would better serve the Democrats in their demonic attempt to overthrow the world.

Am I getting close ?

Oh wait, ...so Nancy, Bill & Soros can use ABC to promote the Denny bashing across the airwaves.

5. Bwahahahahahahaha!!! That's a hoot...!
And ABC did it because they felt bad about that PATH TO 911 disgrace they aired!!!!

Throw in a few state troopers, a couple of dead bodies, and maybe a few meetings in parking garages, and you've got a best seller...or at the very least, material for a wingnut conspiracy website!

2. They've already started bashing away...

Supposedly there is a list of gay staffers being circulated among Republicans, as reported on the Sam Seder and Randi Rhodes shows today. They're going to blame all of this on a conspiracy among gay Repug staffers to protect each other.
Call it the "Pink Triangle Scare." McCarthy would be jealous. Repugs have got the Nazi act down pat.

They are totally bewildered about just about every aspect of all of this.

It's like they've completely boxed themselves in by their own prejudices.
