Was the Whitehouse considering outing Richard Clarke to discredit him? Reason's editor-in-chief, Nick Gillespie writes about the sexualization of American politics:
Whether Rummy or Condi or Dick or some low-level flunky is actually going to try to name Clarke as a bridesmaid at the secret wedding of Keanu Reeves and David Geffen remains to be seen, but it's not a stretch to figure that a president—even or perhaps especially one who is a former cheerleader—who supports an anti-gay-marriage constitutional amendment would figure that calling somebody homosexual would somehow discredit their foreign policy expertise.
