The Rs are in full-squeal mode over being asked a question by a gay retired general at their little "debate" the other night - a general that has the temerity to offer advise to the Clinton campaign as well, no less - which, when you come to think of it, is a very Republican thing to do, and a good thing too. Squeal, I mean, not ask advice. Whenever they come out looking like goofuses - which, you may have noticed, is increasingly often - their first instinct is to blame it all on somebody else.
Now comes the always-entertaining Pat Buchanan, who charges the general with being gutless for not outing himself while still in service. Ironically, Buchanan's remark came at an event honoring some 12,000 gay service members who did...and got kicked out. But never mind that. The general should have come clean, Buchanan wails, as, presumably, any good and brave Republican would do (listening, Larry?).
Don't get me wrong. I like the rule. Not the gay rule - the question rule. If only people who already agree with them are ever allowed to ask a question of a Republican candidate from here on out, well, that pretty much guarantees they'll lose the election, which is fine by me.
