Is David Dreier a Butt Pirate?
It seems there is an "outer" who claims California Republican congressman Dreier is, indeed, gay.
Damn. Who'd a thunk? I've always liked Dreier, and thought he spun the GOP talking points as well as anyone since Racicot was demolishing Al Gore's 2000 blubberfest.
Personally, I don't care what Dreier is in the bedroom. MY concern is that I've always found him to be a very dashing, handsome man, and now I'm scouring my own blood sample under my TASCO electron microscope, looking for hiccoughs in my fucking Y chromosomes.
Odd story, that. I agree - who cares if he's gay? The comments on the story to which you linked would indicate to me that it's OK to "accuse" someone of being gay (instead of "describing" them as gay), as though there's something wrong with it, but ONLY if they're of a different political stripe.
I'm waiting for further clarification from the Lords of the Left as to what separates admirable gaiety from its opposite. And, since I think I already know the difference, I'm also awaiting clarification on why I should give a shit about their opinions on, well pretty much anything.
