From today's Post

The Most Feared Man on the Hill?

For Gay Blogger, Craig's Resignation Is Just the Latest on His List:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/03/AR2007090301396.html?hpid=topnews

 

Here's the link to his Blog: http://www.blogactive.com/

I love this tag line from Yahoo: "He's starting to make Capitol Hill look like Brokeback Mountain"  heehee

I like this statement in the article:

In Rogers's mind, if you're against gay rights in your public life and you live a secret homosexual life, all bets are off.

I don't believe in outing people, but when these people are spreading hate like they do, then I say go Rogers!!

It's probably the only time I can condone outings. So, get at 'em.

I completely agree.  All bets are definitely off in this case.

I couldn't condone "outing" someone either.  BUT, if they are hypocrites like Sen. Craig, then they deserve it.   I believe the phrase "What goes around, comes aroud" to be so very true.
