What's for dinner? GOP leadership

This is a really interesting, longish, piece about why the Foley scandal has created the perfect storm for the GOP. The real scandal is - insert eggregious excess by the administration here - but for some reason, this is the one that matters. The basic reason? The GOP is confronting the hard truth: It's leadership doesn't care about evangelicals and is dissproportionately run by closeted gay men who legislate against themselves.

The Revolution Eats Its Own

What makes the scandal powerful is that it is really three scandals - the first is the sex predator scandal of Foley and pages, the second is the cover up scandal which includes Hastert and the FBI, the third is also a sex and cover up scandal, but it is the one which is the glue that holds the entire roving meltdown together. It about Gay Republicans. Specifically Gay Republicans. That's Gay Republicans.

The scandal which has turned the entire mess radioactive is the cover up by the Republican elite from their own base of the reality of Gay Republican Promiscuous Sex. The Republican Party is in free fall because this isn't a Republican versus Democrat partisan scandal - which could be spun away. But the Republican revolutionary guard need to purge its own leadership.
