That's right. The same group that pushed for a constitutional amendment against gay marriage is all of a sudden worried about looking anti-gay. rolleyes.gif

I have heard from several different news sources that rumors of this guys homosexuality have spread around Washington for years.

So how is Gengrich a dumbass here? He's exactly right, if they would have aggresivley gone after the guy without any proof they would have most certainly been accused as going on some intra-party gay witch hunt or something.

My understanding of this is that not all of this guy's communications with the congressional page were lewd, but the most recent ones were, and they really didn't have any time to react to it before the media got ahold of it.

I just fail to see how Gengrich's comments make him a "dumbass" in this situation.

1) Because he's implying that the Republican party's political goals are higher than stopping a pedophile.

2) Because he's saying that the same party that sponsored the Federal Marriage Amendment and criticized the Supreme Court for Lawrence v. Texas is all of a sudden afraid of being seen as being anti-gay.
