David Dreier wants it bad...
or badly...I don't watch Scarborough as a rule,
but switched on to see Republican congressman
David Dreier saying that McGreevey should step down
from governorship for being gay.
Kind of an irony since Dreier is an un-outed
gay Republican. He must want a higher office
very badly....

Republicans are making him grab his ankles
at every turn.

3. No rumor
fact. Check out who is on his payroll and who is
the same name on the title to his house in Palm Springs.

5. I am just plain tired of the hypocrisy
I don't give a hot damn if Dreir is gay or straight,
but having him on as an un-outed commentator on
whether McGreevey should step down or not because
he's gay is just beyond sanity.

Dreier's gay and people know he's gay....having
him comment on gay marriage or outed gays when
he's not being honest himself is just too much.

Drier is Gay, and watching him on Scarborough was freaky,

11. If he's ever outed then that should come
back to haunt him.

13. Thanks gasperc
A lot of people in political places in our
areas know Dreier is gay but no one has outed
him....too polite I guess.

Fuck that. He's gay and his partner is on the
payroll...as much money as McGreevey's lover
got.

17. He will soon be outed then.
Because even the LCR's are getting fed up with this, and they know where (and in who) the booty has been buried.

20. so he is on Scarboro who is being blackmailed for the dead secretary
Odd isn't it, or not, that he shows up on the one show hosted by the guy with the dead secretary in his Florida office? Drier on Scarboro with both of them having all their skeletons further proves that Scarboro is a blackmailed mouthpiece of the gop. They do the same thing with Rushbo and his Pittsburgh vice arrest from decades ago, when he was DJ Jeff Christie. I wonder if all these blackmailed hosts and guests make it onto networks and stations where the OWNERS are being blackmailed for a skeleton in their closet? The spirit of J Edgar Hoover lives on in the GOP. I have no doubt.

15. Bob Novak weighs in...
From:

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0408/12/cf.00.html

NOVAK: Let me say something, I hope you don't think it's too harsh, James. But I believe if a man is a homosexual he has to make a decision if he's going to be in public life and run for public office that the exposure -- if he is going to say, I'll take the exposure and I'll put it before the people of New Jersey, or else not run for office. If he feels that he cannot go before the people with this, he shouldn't have run for governor.

18. Dreier sure attached himself to Arnie's butt
and was next to him grinning in every single photo-op. I'll bet he has a private collection of some of Arnie's Pumping Iron pics under his bed.

19. Maybe Larry Flynt has a million or two left over to expose the hypocrisy
of these GOP slimeballs.
