Dreier outed in LA Weekly

Thu Sep 23, 2004 at 05:33:37 AM PDT

The story in the LA Weekly outing David Dreier (R-CA) is out (the one Raw Story alluded to).  There's not a lot that we haven't already seen here and on blogactive.

The implications for Dreier are pretty much summed up in the last paragraph:

Dreier can probably survive outing in his district and be re-elected, and it won't hurt him much with Arnold and his cronies either. But Dreier's days as a key member of the ultra-homophobic Hastert-DeLay House GOP leadership may be numbered. The telegenic Dreier has often served as the GOP leadership's spokesman on the TV chat-show circuit. It will be interesting to see whether, the next time Dreier shows up on Crossfire or Chris Matthews' show, he's asked about the contradictions between his anti-gay voting record and his hitherto-secret life.
