According to Bill Maher Ken Mehlman is gay. Not that I really care. It probably wasn't appropriate of Mahr to out him on national TV - I'll be interested to see how the GOP reacts to this information. Its not like being a gay Republican forecloses your political career, but its sad that Mehlman had to keep himself closeted in his public life.

Two names I count on for my news: Larry King & Bill Maher.

DC GOP people are WELL aware of this. It wasn't a secret that Foley was gay (the freaky pedophile part...not so much), and it just wasn't talked about a lot. I don't care about this, and Maher is a jerk to bring it up, but a quick google search will find a ton of references to Mehlman's orientation on Wonkette and elsewhere.

Maybe he just chose not to make that part of his life public?

Its sad that he wasn't comfortable being an openly gay person and being the head of the RNC at the whole time. That has to be a tremendous psychological stress.
Also, CNN edited the West coast version of the show to cut it out.

Those rumors have been around on left-wing blogs and news sites for a while now. Maybe even in his wikipedia entry. Rumor is another Marylander (Michael Steele) is replacing Mehlman. UPDATE: Sen. Mel Martinez actually got the job. www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/bal-rnc1113,0,6477667.story?coll=bal-home-headlines

Also, CNN edited the West coast version of the show to cut it out. Its amazing. No matter what "important issue" comes to the fore, like a comedian outing someone who wasn’t really in the closet, you can count on old St Pete to be the first person to bring it up here. Rushing in to layer it with patina of transparently disingenuous concern about said non-issue, hoping that the mere mention of the topic leads to the illusion that an argument has been made without actually taking any kind of a position he might have to defend at some point. It’s the kind on Nancy Boy non-substantive “debate” that has driven me off this board. Its not an argument of any merit Petey to throw feces against the wall and see if anything sticks, your heartfelt concern for Mehlman’s “tremendous psychological stress” notwithstanding. We are sure he is in your prayers. Thought I would see if anything had changed….Back to my cave.

StPete throws something out there for discussion, and you tear him a new one. Take a deep breath and relax. Not everything on this board has to be a steel-cage to-the-death debate. Feel free to head back into your cave. This board's probably a better place without ridiculous run-on non-sentences like this: "Rushing in to layer it with patina of transparently disingenuous concern about said non-issue, hoping that the mere mention of the topic leads to the illusion that an argument has been made without actually taking any kind of a position he might have to defend at some point." The funny thing is, you rip StPete for not taking a position he'd have to defend while at the same time taking no position yourself. Other than "StPete is a Nancy Boy".

StPete is a Nancy Boy is probably the most reasonable position taken so far on this thread ;D

I'm not defending what StPete wrote, but thebin kind of went off the deep end there....and didn't exactly take any position himself, other than to tear StPete a new one. If Mehlman experiences any psychological stress, it's his own fault. I honestly don't feel bad for him at all. He's gay, and he works every day in support of people and institutions that actively work against gay people. He knows it, and he lives with it. Although I have to say it makes no sense to me. It would be like me taking over for Boeheim at Syracuse.....
