Alleged national security threat?

December 3, 2008

Alma Campbell Brown made a point of pointing out Gov Rendell's open mic comments -- he said Gov Napolitano would be perfect for Homeland Security because she has no family and thus no life.

I think what Debbie Schlussel said is much more disgusting. A women who reportedly speaks Hebrew, Arabic, French, and Russian breathes English words like a tween gossiper in need of a BFF.

From SCHLUSSEL's 10-21 blog:

Just more of the same, except for one thing: she's [Gov Napolitano] apparently a semi-closeted lesbian. And, unless she comes out completely in the open, it's sort of a national security issue. Don't ask, don't tell really isn't an option when her suspected homosexuality can be used against her, since she continues to deny it. Janet, I think the Women's Sports Foundation haircut and Dinah Shore Classic comfortable shoes kinda gave it away. (Gee, this really is a remake of Clinton-Camelot: Clinton had two ineffective lesbian lawyers, Janet Reno and Donna Shalala, and this is the first of likely several for Obama.

It's so offensive I don't want to waste words on: "apparently" "semi-closeted" & "suspected", which equates to WTHC. And even if she were and even of it mattered so what. It's not a national security threat.

You want reprehensible closet homosexuality look to former GOP Rep Mark Foley, the supposed internet predator crusader, who sent graphic IM's to teenage pages and then said he wasn't a pedophile because they were post-pubertal and that it was just a "momentary lapse of judgment" - for which he has shown absolutely no remorse. Momentary - when he did it for months until he was caught. Interject what was momentary.

Or how about the ex-Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevy, who was forced to come clean because he was about to be sued by Golan Cipel for sexual harassment? Cipel was McGreevy's adulterous gay lover before and during the time he served as McGreevy's official homeland security advisor. An Israeli national. A non-US citizen. A case Shlussel must absolutely be familiar with.

Threat to national security? Blackmail and criminal behavior?

But they're men and don't have to be torn down to prove they're qualified for a job - especially in politics. And when they coming slithering back out like Foley and Edwards there's a discussion as to whether they can make a comeback. Spitzer's out there writing a column somewhere. And his wife?

Would there even be a discussion of a "comeback" if it were an adulterous female governor - lesbian or otherwise - or a female US Representative who sent graphic sexual IM's to teenage pages?
