There's been an epidemic of Palinitus sweeping the nation this week. Conservatives and politicians are dropping like flies.
- First, Representative Eric Massa (D-NY) announced he wouldn't seek re-election after allegations of sexually harassing a male staffer surfaced.
- Then anti-gay Republican California state senator Roy Ashburn was arrested for drunk driving after leaving a popular Sacramento gay bar with an unidentified male companion. Ashburn divorced his wife a few years ago and recently announced he wouldn't be running Congress.
- Finally, Don Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association, has stepped down from the leadership of the organization due to health reasons. Wildmon has been plagued by ill health in recent years as his organs were sucked into the black hole where his heart used to be.

oh, so so sad.
I love the guy driving drunk after picking up a guy. I mean... geesh, how stupid are you?
but then, they never think they are going to get caught. they think they are toooooo special.
I don't wish anyone ill health but the black hole pretty much sounds right to me, bil.
Straight men who are comfortable with their own sexuality do not continually make anti-Gay comments.
There are straight men who have girlfriends or wives who have sex with other men .
I find it interesting whenever I hear about men who have a history of supporting anti-Gay legislation who are "linked" to other men in questionable situations. As the old saying goes: "and it probably isn't their first time at the rodeo".
Hey, state senator Ashburn was on a "fact finding tour." He discovered that you *can* get drunk and pick up a man in a gay bar. That is why we all must be ordered to become hypocrites by law so that we can have a "just and ordered" society.
I have known enough Gay/bisexual politicians and religious public figures from the bad old days to know that a great number of them are compelled to take these risks at greater and greater levels until they are caught. How else do you explain the behavior of a Ted Haggard?
At the heterosexual end of things how can you explain Jimmy Swaggart who denounced and defrocked other ministers while he indulged in his own hypocrisy.
