Johnny, Are You Queer?

Watching John Edwards in a town hall-style meeting yesterday, I still can't get over why the guy's sexuality is given such a free pass. It shouldn't really matter, right? But if we're going after David Vitter for his romps with D.C. whores and impeaching Clinton over his Oval Office blow jobs, why can't there be dialogue on what's been rumored and whispered about in conference rooms, court houses and gay bars around North Carolina for years?
It's likely more than speculation on the part of me and many others, but I remember pointing out how the then veep candidate pinged high on the cock-smoker scale back in 2004. A buddy of mine down in Raleigh told me back then that Edwards has long been rumored as a closet homosexualist; rumors of him being spotted in various gay bars back in his early days as a trial attorney. Since then, we've seen the primping, the constantly moisturized face, overly-tanned, perfectly manicured, the $400 haircuts, gay voice, etc.: but an obvious homophobe by making reported comments about not being comfortable around "those people", "those" being us, the gays. He then sends ailing wife Liz out to cat fight with the likes of Ann Coulter and to smooth things over at gay and lesbians political caucuses as was the case this weekend, when Liz kissed the collective ass of would-be gay Edwards supporters in San Francisco.

I think it'll be a great day when we have our first OUT gay presidential candidate. Even better when we get the first President. So come on Johnny, come out; or at least set the record straight. Or are you scared? Sissy.
