The Gaybramoff Agenda (TM)

[IdesOfOctober]

What is "The Gaybramoff Agenda (TM)"?

1. Use gay marriage and the so-called "gay agenda" as a distraction and a sop to the social conservative wing of the GOP, and expecting gay Hill staffers to not eventually torpedo their own "leaders" for continuously using them as a punching bag publicly, but leaning on their invaluable advice privately.

2. Use Abramoff's bribes to advance the long laundry list of items that Corporate America wants enacted.

Several gay former clerks to Supreme Court Justices during the Bowers v. Hardwick decision later expressed regret for not telling their justices that they were gay:

Today's GOP closet cases on The Hill might learn a thing or two from that lesson, and walk away from their complicity in The Gaybramoff Agenda. Trust me: they'll regret it years from now, just like those former Supreme Court clerks.

are you still predicting a shitstorm for today?

Pardon the drift slightly off topic.

... as KKKarl's "Gods, Guns, and Gays" gives way to:

"Pensions, Plundering, and Privatization"...

4. Extra butter?

It's going to be a great show this week, watching KKKarl try to kick the spin machine into a gear beyond its tolerances.
