Barney Frank: Dreier's orientation cost him the House leadership

http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid21598.asp

Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank is accusing Republicans of rejecting California's David Dreier as the new House majority leader because of rumors that Dreier is gay.

When Tom DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury last month, Republican officials said Dreier would be his temporary replacement. Dreier�who's chairman of the House Rules Committee�was considered by many to be a lock. But the job was given to Missouri's Roy Blunt instead, reportedly because conservatives view Dreier as too moderate on social issues like stem cell research.

1. Maybe, but I just think that Roy was too Blunt about it.

Good perception tho, Barney.
