Alan Keyes Is A Jerk

If the quote on "Drudge Report" is accurate, Illinois Senate carpetbagger Alan Keyes is an ass. He is so firmly wedged in the ultra-conservative agenda, that he's decided to attack Dick Cheney's gay daughter for being a "selfish hedonist". His quote, not mine. Let's just say that he's not one of the "compassionate conservatives" - of which I consider myself a part of. Personal attacks from someone who is usually pretty articulate have no place in politics and I hope this comes to bite him on the butt when he needs White House support for his candidacy.

Good for Cheney, by the way, to take a stand against the official White House position on gay marriage. I think, if nothing else, that there is room in the Executive Branch (and the Republican party) for different opinions.
