Maybe the first debate question for the Republicans is which of them is NOT gay....

Hmm. The debate moderator (immoderator? this is the GOP we're talking about) says...

All of you who are not gay, raise your hand. First remove it from below the wall of the restroom stall...

Look. Under other circumstances, just about all of us would say that Craig's orientation, sexuality and restroom-trolling are none of our business. But as has been pointed out by numerous bloggers, Craig has been a consistent supporter of anti-gay policies in Congress. That, and that alone, makes it our business what he does, and with whom. Hypocrisy and deceit by a sitting senator (or a standing one, for that matter), acting in his capacity as senator, are always public business.

The Neocons MADE it our business when they went after Clinton's dalliance with an intern. Sex is on the table, (or under it or in a bathroom stall or...). What makes it so funny is that they posture and rant about being the keeper of keys to the family values vault, puff themselves up as paragons of virtue and then get exposed as 'bad nasty naughty little boys'.

What the fuck (... pun intended...) were they thinking?... Or not thinking...

To one degree or another, at one time or another, with whatever degree of restraint or abandon, we are all driven by our sexual desires. That self-proclaimed "conservatives" insist they are both exempt from that rule and the enforcers of rules on the rest of us is one of the most deeply offensive and frustrating aspects of dealing with them.

I've often thought some of the neocons and fundies could use a good fuck. I'm not about to hold it against them (pun intended) if they find such. But dammit, when they attempt to legislate against things they themselves engage in, I find it the height of hypocrisy.

I couldn't have said it better, Steve. Exactly.
