White House counsel’s ouster sought (by Log Cabin Republicans)

[atommom]

“Scott Bloch is a rogue official,” said Chris Barron, spokesman for Log Cabin Republicans. “He should be replaced.”

The national organization representing gay and lesbian Republicans on Wednesday began a campaign urging President Bush to fire Bloch.

The campaign, Barron said, was sparked by Bloch’s testimony last week to a U.S. Senate subcommittee. Bloch told senators his office lacked the authority to protect federal employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation.

“We are limited by our enforcement statutes as Congress gives them,” Bloch said in response to a question from Sen. Carl M. Levin, D-Mich, according to The Washington Post. “The courts have specifically rejected sexual orientation as a class protection.”

In today's political climate, I'd be surprised if they were successful ... but then, I'm still surprised that the Log Cabin Republicans even exist! :shrug:

1. they're like a broken clock

twice a day, its right

[gratuitous]

2. Who knows what motivates LCRs?

Time and again, the Log Cabin Republicans are given ample evidence that the Republicans don't give two hoots about either one of them, yet they keep coming back for more.

"Dysfunctional" may not begin to describe this kind of behavior.

issue they're stilling voting repuke on?
