Area man is self-hating gay

Courtesy Wonkette comes this news that the spokesman for homophobic Sen. Rick Santorum is, himself, gay. And African-American.

Now we know who Ken Mehlman was speaking to when he apologized to black people for the Republican Party's infamous "Southern Strategy": self-hating black people who work for Republicans.

Slamming Mehlman's apology, by the way, was Rush Limbaugh, who uttered an analysis all too appropriate for Santorum fans: "Republicans are going to go bend over and grab the ankles." Or perhaps he actually had in mind Mehlman himself, who is the subject of rumors about his sexuality.

But back to Santorum, who was recently spanked by Sen. Ted Kennedy for suggesting that the Catholic Church's clergy abuse scandal in the Boston region was somehow linked to the area being a stronghold for liberal voters. (Yeah, the connection was hard for me to see, too.) Yesterday Santorum refused to apologize for his words.
