Gotta' say, I think this is a superb idea:

OT, but has anyone started a gay conservative Outing Pool to predict the next GOP culture-warrior to be found blowing strangers in public restrooms?

I’m thinking Lindsay Graham (R-Ballcock) is the obvious choice, but the Republicans have an infinite capacity to shock and amaze, so I’ll go out on a limb and bet on Graham to place and Rick Santorum (R-Unemployed) to win.

Kind of like a horse race, only with anonymous gay sex in place of teh horses.

I dunno', Jeff Sessions has that certain look about him. All fine upstanding conservative family values guy on the outside with a bit of a come fuck me in a filthy public toilet gleam in his eye. Graham really does seem a little too obvious, so I'll go with Sessions. Care to place your own wager?

I knew a dude named Larry, I guess you could say he was a sex fiend...

Roy at Alicublog has a great post up on the whole Larry Craig fiasco, and this bit in particular caught my eye, apparently the wingers are now trying to re-define the word "hypocrisy":

Hypocrisy does not mean saying one thing and doing the opposite. It means saying something that one does not believe…

No, actually it means what you said first, the second is called lying. See? We have words for everything these days. Or as Roy responds:

So don’t call him a hypocrite -- he’s just someone who “weakened” under the awful strain of pretended heterosexuality.

We’re used to winger sophistries, of course. But this one’s in a special category. These guys are eager to defend Craig against charges of hypocrisy even as they accede to, and even demand, his resignation. Clearly they don’t give a damn about Craig, but they care deeply about negating the idea that their champions are hypocrites. They do it, I think, because hypocrisy inspires derision, which makes one's high horse about other people's morals less of an electoral asset, and that's an asset without which the modern American conservative movement is seriously weakened.

And I think we can all relate to MarkG who grumbles:

Wish we lived in a world where I could use a public restroom without worrying about a republican politician soliciting me for sex. Is that too much to ask?
