Place your bet: Which one is gay, (Head of GOP) Ken Mehlman or Spongebob?
I bet my house on Ken Mehlman, Bush's newly appointed head of the GOP and the new FACE of the Republican Party.

1. But if I say Ken, I'll "alienate" people - "that's why we lose elections"
Remember how Kerry lost "because he mentioned Cheney's daughter?"So, I'm going with SpongeBob.

4. Probably Mehlman. but....
...who the hell would watch a cartoon with him in it?

Unless it was Mehlman, David Drier, Lindsey Graham, and Matt Drudge in a cartoon show about 4 closeted superhomoheroes called the "Fabulous Four" or something like that :evilgrin:

7. Apparently the bets have all been placed ...
because Mehlman has already been 'outed' by the gay publication Bay Windows.

Man on a mission
The activist behind blogACTIVE says he's not finished outing conservative gays

By Ethan Jacobs
Published: Thursday, January 20, 2005

Last August Michael Rogers emerged as a giant-slayer when he ended the electoral career of Virginia Beach's anti-gay Republican congressman Edward Schrock by outing him with the click of a computer mouse. Rogers has a new giant in his sights, the newly elected head of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, about whom gay rumors have circulated since last summer. Rogers has ratcheted up his efforts to out Mehlman, who oversaw President Bush's reelection campaign, in concert with President Bush's Jan. 20 inauguration. On Jan. 18, the day before Mehlman was elected to his new post, Rogers sent an e-mail to what he claims are thousands of Republican activists, describing Mehlman as an out gay man. Not that Rogers is trying to cost Mehlman his job.

"Having a gay chairman of the Republican National Committee, that to me would be a good thing for gay people, because I think when Ken Mehlman sits down with the president and sits down with leaders and Karl Rove and they start to beat up gay people, they should know that the guy they're beating up is one of the people sitting in the room right there," said Rogers.

Speculation about Mehlman's sexual orientation grew after the Washington Blade published a May article on openly gay staffers in the Bush campaign. The article made no accusations about Mehlman's sexual orientation, but it described his bachelorhood in sufficient detail to raise eyebrows within the community. In a later editorial the Blade's editor Chris Crain said Mehlman refused to speak to journalists on the record - even to issue a statement that he is heterosexual - for that story.

8. Why does Ken Mehlman hate America?
Edited on Mon Jan-24-05 10:05 PM by ClarkUSA
Why don't liberals target these GOP closet cases en masse and "out them" bigtime with letters to the editor in every red state?

We are the Party of Truth -- the GOP are the Party of Lies. <reframing our image>
