David Corn, 2006: “[The list] includes nine chiefs of staffs, two press secretaries, and two directors of communications”is that (if it’s acucurate) it shows that some of the religious right’s favorite representatives and senators have gay staffers helping them advance their political careers and agendas”
Joseph McCarthy, 1950: “A list of 205 people…who, nevertheless, are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.”

I saw the David Corn piece. He thought he was high minded about the whole thing, warning the GOP gays in the closet that they were about to be outed as a result of the Foley affair. The militant Democrats were looking for revenge and power.

The way the donkeycrats are acting, they think Foley is the GOP clone of their McGreavy (Ex-NJ Governor).
