"Outrage"


Opening in many theaters this weekend is the Kirby Dick (it's o.k. to laugh) film "Outrage," a documentary about the sexual hypocrites that apparently fill the Rethuglican congressional caucus. The "outrage?" That these deeply closeted clowns (think less-risk-taking Larry Craig types) consistently rail and vote against gay rights by day while getting a little on the down low at night -- well, in Craig's case, not even waiting until night. As Rep. Barney Frank puts it, gay pols "have a right to privacy but not a right to hypocrisy."

The WaPo's Dan Zak has the review, which indicates that a Rethug pol unnamed in Zak's review (but named by, um, Dick in the movie) is a prime focus of the documentary; Zak says only that he may be bound for the 2012 presidential race (well, he might have been until the movie comes out).

Can't wait to see who the mystery stud is. I might've guessed Missy McConnell or Lindsay Graham, but neither of them is a prospective 2012 presidential possibility. Gov. Crist? Not in Congress. Hmmm. We'll have to give that some thought. Any ideas welcome.

UPDATE:
A more careful reading of Zak's review reveals that the unnanmed hypocrite with 2012 ambitions is not necessarily in Congress. Therefore, it could be a Governor, former officeholder, etc. So that pretty much leaves it wide open.

UPDATE-IER:
According to "Rightpundits.com", the sanctimonious sodomist IS Gov. Charlie Crist (FL). Not a big whup... old news.

He's certainly gay, I'll give you that. As is Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC), but neither are congressman material, much less presidential. I could be wrong...
