Not That There's Anything Wrong With It

While still fighting a political storm over lying about his military record, Illinois Rethuglican Senate candidate Rep. Mark "Kinky" Kirk is facing a new allegation: he's gay (not that there's anything wrong with it). While the allegation was first made by a Rethug rival during the primary season, it has been raised anew by Mike Rogers (the gay blogger who outed Rethug hypocrites Larry "Wide Stance" Craig and Mark "Holey" Foley) who has "evidence" not previously revealed.

According to Rogers, he's reporting this not because of Kirk's sexual orientation per se, but because of Kirk's recent vote not to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," thereby placing him firmly in the large camp of sexual hypocrites of the right -- which is also why we're noting it.
