So, just to be sure it's clear, anybody associated with a Republican who gets caught for soliciting gay sex, big news. Lots of stories about Bob Allen, a McCain supporter, who solicited gay sex from an adult. Not nearly so much coverage of a staffer for Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell. Not even when he describes having anal sex with a 13 year old boy as “hot.”
Now, granted, this is merely a staff member, while Bob Allen is/was a state rep, but he wasn't trying to have anal sex with a 13 year old boy.
Republican gay sex scandals: huge news.
Democrat gay sex scandals: not news.
In fact, how dare you pry into their private lives?
