House Republicans kill Guckert investigation

It helps to have friends without scruples in high places. Raw Story infoms us that the House Judiciary Committee voted down a resolution that would look into how a gay prostitute earned credentials that allowed him to access the president for more than a year. Typically, all Republicans present voted against it. After all, there's no gay prostitute like a right-wing gay prostitute.

The Dems didn't have a chance, but this stands as another opportunity for Democratic candidates to use Republican congressmen's votes against them. Let's hope they use it next year...

This is the perfect chance to apply a classic piece of politician assessment-- would the Republicans have voted down the resolution if we had a Democratic president being asked questions by a left-wing homosexual prostitute? The very notion is such a joke I won't even bother answering it for you. But it's just the sort of question that I love to run by my right-wing friends. I'm always amazed at their ability to spin themselves silly when it comes to questions of morality.
