A Sea-Change. More good news about incoming
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. An e-mailed statement from the
Log Cabin Republicans notes that Sen. Frist opened the 2002 LCR
National Convention in April 2002. According to the LCR
release:
Speaking to a packed house at the kick off reception, Frist welcomed LCR members from across the nation to Washington and challenged them to keep working in the Republican party.
Again, just try to imagine deposed Majority Leader Trent Lott doing any such thing.
I don't know why LCR can't post press releases online once
they're sent out, but at least there's a photo on their site of
Sen. Frist at the LCR get-together. Lott, by the way, now
says :
"When you're from Mississippi and you're a conservative and you're a Christian, there are a lot of people that don't like that. I fell into their trap, and so I have only myself to blame."
A bit paranoid in a reverse Bill & Hillary sort of way, but
the fact is that the intolerant religious right is no longer going
to be calling the shots in the GOP. That sound you here is some gay
Democratic activists gnashing their teeth.
