Today's Washington Post is reporting that Virginia Congressman Ed Schrock (R) is withdrawing from his reelection bid... www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A47194-2004Aug30.htmlI don't think this is a very good thing at all. While I'm not losing sleep over Schrock's fate, as I have only so much sympathy for what appear to be an out-and-out hypocrite, I still believe that sexual orientation is a wholly private matter that is irrelevant to one's ability to lead. Frankly, I think it's despicable to out a man for any reason, never mind political, even if it appears that on the balance of things he so richly deserves it. Here's a second link that contains a little more detail on Schrock and these allegations. rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/schrock_resigns_gay_phone_sex_tapes_830.htm
