Another GOP closet case?

The striking thing about the homophobic slur from Senator Saxby Chambliss' Atlanta office to a gay rights website is that the staffer clearly thought it was OK in the culture of the Senator's workforce.

That makes the Senator's promise to not tolerate such things dubious at best. He's been tolerating it for a long time, and his votes reflect that tolerance.

And why is a right-wing Republican staffer following- and participating in- debates on a gay rights blog?

Inquiring minds wonder.
