Holy Bob Crane! "Videotapes of hundreds of sexual encounters"? I'm all for consensual sex among adults in any combination as long as it's in an appropriate setting. But what the fuck is it with the so-called morals and values GOP that brings out the freak in people?

Andrew Sullivan Is A Fraud

Too bad he didn't have his way with Karl the way Karl has been having us way with the whole country.

Forgot to ask...
...was there any footage of Turdblossom in those files? He sure has a funny smile on his face.

Once again I am baffled as to why, once these men realize they are gay, they don't leave the Republican party.

Or, why they don't use the power they have to change the anti-gay animus within the party.

Heck, maybe Larry Craig or Barclay could have sought support from the Log Cabin Republicans (What's the deal with that name? What do log cabins have to do with being gay or Republican? Is it a Lincoln allusion?) to move the party toward accepting openly gay politicians within their ranks.

I just can't imagine the shame and fear these men live with.

Oh, gee! I missed this news on CNN and MSNBC.

Of course! They had to talk about "elitist" Obama!! Much more important!

Yes, the Log Cabin republicans is an allusion to the idea (myth?) that Lincoln was the first gay president. I believe this was borne from the fact that he did share a bed with another man for a time although that was supposedly common in that era.

As far as these hundreds of videotapes, how has turd blossom now shown up? It's unreal what this administration has been able to get away with, and the fact that the whole Jeff Gannon thing never led anywhere is actually quite amazing and a testament to how successful this White House (or incompetence of the MSM) has been.

Unreal.

I would hope that in one videotape we would be treated to a tableaux of our Hero, clad only in a cartoonishly oversized baby diaper, clutching to his guns and his religion while kneeling in a sea of used and discarded amyl nitrate poppers.

And thus was reality nudged ever closer to Margaret Atwood's distopian vision of the future.

I've got to ask. All these closeted, self-loathing Republican gays who are such virulent attackers of homosexuals in public ...

Is this what the psychologists mean by projection? They loath themselves, so they attack others who they presume are just as guilty of their own greatest failure/sin?

That would make very strong attacks on homosexuals a strong indicator of a likely repressed, pathological homosexual doing the attacking. When someone starts strongly attacking Gays, perhaps they should themselves be asked if they are trying to fight homosexual urges themselves and using the attacks on others as a way of dealing with their own urges.

It's OK, as long as he doesn't try to marry the boy.

From Bruce Barclay's (Google-cached) bio page: www.brucebarclay.com/bio.html

"Bruce Barclay resides in Monroe Township. He has hosted 17 international high school exchange students in the past ten years."

That doesn't sound good...

If I were the police officer assigned to review the "evidence" and I came across one with Rove in it, I swear I would sacrifice my career to publish it on the internet. I would consider it my patriotic duty.

OMIGAWD!
I've read the word 'self-loathing' many times in the comments. I have another 'analysis.'

This man looks like an extremely dull person. He might get extreme excitement not so much from the sex but from the danger involved. He was conscious of that fact that his whole life could come unraveled by what he was doing. Remember an Italian comedy about a man who could only have sex on window ledges of high buildings etc. because he needed the danger aspect to excite him.

Condolences to all his sex-partners. They are the ones suffering from self-loathing.

what shame or fear? being a republican is about having for yourself and not letting others have any. whether it's money or underage boys.

If Bob Allen is 10 out of 10 diapers on the Republican Sex Scandal Scale, then this is a solid 8.  He resigned too fast, so he's not in Larry Craig territory, but taping sexual encounters and hiring toy boys isn't too shabby.
