Is Romney's Congressional Liaison Gay?

The Romney "exploratory" campaign today announced that Louisiana Congressman Jim McCrery will be Romney's congressional liaison, ie the guy trying to get other GOP congressmen to endorse Romney.

Way way back in 1992, the Advocate reported that McCrery was a closet homosexual. McCrery, a staunch gay-rights opponent, has always denied it. As far as I know, there's never been anything new to the allegation, but his name periodically pops up in discussions about supposedly hypocritical gay Republicans (such as during the Mark Foley scandal).

So, it would be entirely inappropriate to suggest that Mitt Romney's congressional liaison is gay. That would be wrong. Tempting, but very, very wrong....

Yes, you only need to repeat 15 year old gossip to substantiate your headline. We've had the 1994 videotape, now this - I confidently expect the C- Mitt got in Geography in third grade to be your NEXT thrilling expose....how can that be headlined....
