CORN HOLED UP WITH THE THEOCRATS:

"The List" (of Gay GOP Aides on the Hill); Hubris on Bloggingheads.tv (David Corn, 10/4/06, davidcorn.com)

There's a list going around. Those disseminating it call it "The List." It's a roster of top-level Republican congressional aides who are gay. [...]

I have a copy. I'm not going to publish it. For one, I don't know for a fact that the men on the list are gay. And generally I don't fancy outing people--though I have not objected when others have outed gay Republicans, who, after all, work for a party that tries to limit the rights of gays and lesbians and that welcomes the support of those who demonize same-sexers. [...]

Let's be clear about one thing: the Mark Foley scandal is not about homosexuality.


Uh-huh. Mr. Corn needs to take the red pill and look again.

Also, let's decipher his supposed high-mindedness: "For all I know, The List was conjured up by a couple of Democratic staffers after downing a few beers, but what the hey? I'm chickening out because some of my progressive buddies might be unhappy if I actually listed anybody, although there's really nothing wrong with shifting my principles as long as I dislike the folks I'm targeting. By the way, The List does exist in case you want to get it from somebody other than me."
