From the desk of Jane Galt:What are the Democrats thinking?
What are the Democrats thinking? From Kausfiles:
Valerie Bauerlein of TheState.com reports on the recent debate in South Carolina between Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alex Sanders and Republican Lindsey Graham:Sanders said Graham was the one running a TV endorsement from Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City."He's an ultra-liberal," Sanders said. "His wife kicked him out and he moved in with two gay men and a Shih Tzu.
"Is that South Carolina values? I don't think so."
Prediction: Sanders will get a pass for his gay-baiting a) mainly because it's the sort of deliciously cynical cheap shot reporters who enjoy covering politics savor; b) secondarily because he's a Democrat running against a Clinton-impeacher and won't be attacked by gay-rights groups; c) because he has some sense of comic timing; d) because he's a pretty appealing fellow; and e) because he's going to be repudiated by the voters... But Sanders probably should be blasted for it anyway. Over to you, Frank Rich.
I feel at little upside-down here. When did the Dems become the party of gay-baiting? Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more. Posted by Jane Galt at October 29, 2002 9:11 AM | TrackBack | Technorati inbound links
