And until we have a Democrat Congress again, the Brokeback White House won't be explaining Gannon/Guckert. I believe Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and John Conyer (D-MI) asked for more information and were refused. Come to think of it, hasn't Karl Rove been divorced once? Not that that means he is gay, but there are such rumors about him, Scott McClellan and RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, among others. You’re right, big papa.

Hell, Bushiva didn’t turn “Christian” ’til he was 40…

…no one can find his roommates when he was a cheerleader…

…and they’ve yet to explain what Gannon- “White House press corp reporter-and-web male-prostitute”- was doing in the Oval Office all that time…

In addition to adding Newt's second divorce, it should also include current House Majority Whip Roy Blunt as divorced and remarried to a female lobbyist. Then there's that married GOP Mayor of Spokane, WA who was caught soliciting young men--usually minors--for sex over his office computer. And the man (maybe named Ryan?) who won the GOP Senate primary in Illinois in 2004, and was set to run against Barack Obama until his estranged wife revealed his penchant for kinky sex, etc. These just came off the top of my head. There are probably others. Any other additions, folks? Ps. #97 ElectricBassPlayer,

However, you should add that Newt Gingrich has been divorced twice. He dumped his second wife for a much younger woman who "worked" in his office. The affair was going on while he was trying to get Clinton impeached for oral sex. #97 ElectricBassPlayer,
