WOWSA!
Three of the most common questions I receive after I report on a closet case anti-gay politician are:"Mike, did the media pick up the story?"The answers are easy:
"Where is the mainstream media on this?"
"What's the deal with the press, do they ignore these closet cases?
"No."
"They are chicken."
"Yes, they do."
Well, one of those answers has changed. I am completely shocked that the South Carolina NBC affiliate mainstream media picked up the story!!!! AND WITH VIDEO!!!! WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!
Read the rest here.Bauer on defense after blog post makes bold claim
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Last week, South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer said he would sacrifice his political ambitions if Governor Mark Sanford resigns.Sanford refused, and now Bauer finds himself on defense. The issue? His private life.
Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer wants to talk about where he would take the state if Gov. Mark Sanford leaves office. And unless Sanford decides to step down soon, making Bauer his successor, the lieutenant governor will likely run for the number one job.
But since his remarks on the subject last week, Bauer has become a target -- first, accusations on a web site claiming that the 40-year-old bachelor is gay. [emphasis added]
That post has been picked up and repeated on other sites. We found at least 17 of them, all despite Bauer's previous denials. On Tuesday came strong condemnation from some of Bauer's closest advisers.
See the video here.
