Dick Wadhams not, in fact, gay.

The L.A. Times ran a correction today: “An article in Section A on Wednesday about friction in the Republican Party between gays and religious conservatives said Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) had a campaign manager who is gay. The Allen staff member who is gay is his communications director.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Sen. Allen believes that his professional hatred of homosexuals should not prevent him from employing them. Good for him?

  1. Outing gay Republicans worked wonders for you guys in 2004. Just ask John Kerry how the electorate liked his sleazy mention of Cheney’s daughter’s sexual orienattion in a nationally televised debate. The hypocrisy of the (far) left never ceases to amaze me.

  2. Senator Allen has a “Professional” hatred of Gays?

    I wrote that because I don’t know his personal feelings. I suspect that his opposition to gays is purely professional and that, in his personal life, he probably doesn’t particularly care.

    Vice President Cheney’s daughter was very, very out of the closet. Kerry’s mention of that was only “sleazy” if you think that being gay is bad. I don’t think that, and neither does Sen. Kerry. It’s no sleazier than if he’d mentioned that she was black (if she were) or Muslim (if she were) within the context of discussing the candidates’ backgrounds in those areas.

  3. Waldo Dear Friend,
    Abandon this ship while you still can… It is taking on serious water, and it undoubtedly can not be saved…

    Webb’s handlers have taken him into quicksand,and they are hoping all of the left of center bloggers will follow…

    This is getting crazy.

    Like the Jewish ancestry thing.. so what? Christians know that Jesus was a Jew, and are frankly proud of it?

    When major politicians and Newspapers representing American’s with African Heritage are supporting Allen… even the Macaca thing is starting to look like a “back fire” on the Webb campaign… Webb is just as vulnerable on the issue…

    Every thing is being discussed with the exception of War, Taxes, Immigration, Transportation (for goodness sake) isn’t this obvious?
