A Proposition, So to Speak
Honestly, I think we should search the congressional records in order to identify those elected officials who have proposed an inordinate, or maybe just a moderate amount of homophobic legislation. Thanks to the efforts of Homeland Security we certainly have enough surveillance equipment in place to follow them into public restrooms, read their email, wiretap their phone calls, you know, the usual. In fact, we have probably collected all this information already, and it's just sitting around waiting to be analyzed. Aren't closeted homosexuals, in high positions classically viewed as a threat to national security because they can be blackmailed? Let's put Mr. Chertoff right on it, and let it be known that it is no longer prudent for politicians to write their own self hating projections into law, lest their sexual secrets be revealed.
Washington, sadly is harder on those who have same sex secrets. Romney dropped Larry Craig like a hot potato, even though there was no real crime committed. You can listen for yourself to an audio dramatization of the original police report as performed by Paul Hipp or watch the video Senator Craig can take a tip from the British on how to handle a scandal like this forthrightly.
