For Gay Blogger, Craig's Resignation Is Just the Latest on His List

Soon, a new name will pop up on Mike Rogers's hit list.

Larry Craig wasn't "the first on my list," the gay blogger says. And the Idaho senator, who announced his resignation Saturday, "won't be the last."

Rogers, sitting on a club chair in his Northwest Washington apartment, is basking in the attention. For three years now, he's been a feared one-man machine, "outing," he says, nearly three dozen senior political and congressional staffers, White House aides and, most damagingly, Congress members on his blog. On Capitol Hill, a typical phone call from Rogers -- "Are you gay?" he'd ask -- is "a call from Satan himself," says a former high-ranking congressional staffer whose name is on the list.

1. Sounds like all talk to me.

Sorry, but if he has the goods on so many Republicans, why ain't he publishing? I smell a bluff.

2. He does, and he has.

Read the story. At his blog, blogactive.com, he was talking about Craig before the media was, about Foley before the media was, etc., etc.

3. Hopefully he is letting this Craig thing slow down...one at a time

gets him more attention..

6. He only goes after anti-gay gays.

He's been on Craig's ass (if you'll pardon the expression) because of his anti-gay votes. If it weren't for that, Rogers might even be trying to support him!

4. I liked this whine from one of the outed republi-CONS:

"What was I supposed to do?" Gurley says in an interview. He adds: "Who does Rogers think he is? God? What gives him the right to bully people around and tell us what to think or how to conduct our lives?"

Gee, gurley. Not like YOUR party ever does that to people...

I'm with Mike Rogers on this. As kkkarl rove once said: "Fair Game."

5. Humm, Studds, Gurley.

Now that would make a fine name for lobby firm made up of outed former repub government types.

(Those are actual names from the article)
