I care little that Craig should be flung from the sleigh. When he finally is at home for good behind the drawn drapes, the morning paper will bring him the news that he was voted the least liked gay among gays.
Say that the word 'alledged' needs to be included with the word "gay" here, and then suppose it is true. Here is a man who was a closeted homosexual who took it upon himself to step forward well beyond the boundaries of demand and circumstance to trumpet that particular nonissue issue for the cause.
This anti-gay horn blowing rankled every gay alive, of course.
If he is outed with evidence, he will be shunned by the Republicans, the Idahoians, and the gays. In fact, I can't think of anyone not having a bad taste in their mouth; you might even hate gays, but watching this kind of sleaze manuvering and hypocritical mendacity turns all stomachs. You earn a special merit badge in hypocracy for the volunteering part.
He would not be able to stay in Idaho.
Romney better hope he is outed in a crystal fashion, because otherwise he was spotted abandoning with a snap his friend and working supporter at the first sign of trouble. The prevailing metaphor in the media is "thrown under the bus" and that metaphor is specific with opportunism and betrayal.
