Another GOP Gay Scandal Freaks Out McCain Staff

gaywired.com — The "anti-gay" Attorney General of Alabama, Troy King, is rumored to have been caught in bed with another man by his wife. He was part of McCain's Alabama campaign team, but now McCain's staff has removed all references to him from McCain's web site.

    Oh yeah, and if he is the "King," who was the queen?

    John McCain 2008 Announces Alabama Leadership Team

    ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign today announced its Alabama Leadership Team. United States Congressman Spencer Bachus will serve as the Southeastern United States Congressional Chair of the McCain campaign. Alabama Attorney General Troy King will serve as Chair of the McCain 2008 Alabama campaign. Representative Bachus and Attorney General King will continue to lead the growing grassroots organization on behalf of John McCain’s candidacy in Alabama.

    John McCain thanked the leadership of his Alabama campaign. “As a representative in the United States Congress, Spencer has displayed his commitment to the people of Alabama,” said Senator McCain. “Troy is an outstanding public servant and passionate advocate for the rule of law. Troy is dedicated to the principles of limited government and traditional values that we share. I’m proud to have Republican leaders and dedicated public servants like Troy King leading my campaign to victory in Alabama.”

    - Hmmm. Would that be leading the campaign from under the bus just because Troy King might be gay -- Sen. McCain?

    Or are you still uncertain about this adoption thing.

    • SheilaNoya, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9Ahhh... once again, the data contained in these internet tubez will haunt John McCain!

  • tcbishop12, on 07/16/2008, -1/+12McCain campaign manager Stevie Schmidt is freaking out for sure. The architect for Bush 2004 doesn't like this stuff at all.
  • motivatedmama, on 07/16/2008, -0/+25Hypocrites all of em. You'd think it would be the Republican party that would support the gays all things considered!
    • OffPiste, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3All republicans are gay? Man who knew?
  • tykwondingo, on 07/16/2008, -2/+7Kind of off topic... I want to punch Ted Haggerty in the face really bad.
  • SheilaNoya, on 07/16/2008, -0/+31Let's not forget that McCain also suffered a similar gay scandal when his Florida campaign co-chair, Bob Allen, was arrested for trying to pay an undercover police officer $20 to let him perform oral sex on him in a Florida park bathroom.

    Bob Allen (R) resigned following his conviction.

    • NoDrama, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2That was really nothing more than a wide stance.
    • cmotdibbler, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Hold on, I clearly remember that Fox News identified him as a Democrat.
      Someone is playing silly buggers here.
  • vanguardanon, on 07/17/2008, -0/+18I love republicans, they give the best head. :-)
    • cg4et, on 07/17/2008, -0/+10you're not hanging out with the right Democrats.
  • clak, on 07/17/2008, -0/+10Why are so many Republicans gay. I just don't get that.
  • dBass, on 07/17/2008, -0/+10"And the hits just keep on coming".
  • alapoet, on 07/17/2008, -0/+15McCain and Troy King both like country music, but I guess this would be the wrong time to play "Stand By Your Man"...

    • tcbishop12, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Now *that's* funny, Steve!
    • SheilaNoya, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2alapoet - Thanks for that link. Nicely done!
  • OCSmoke, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8That must've been pretty shocking for the wife.
    • rhabd0mancer, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Especially if King was on the receiving end.
      • sandersdamnit, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4"Uh, baby it's not what you think....he was just...uhhhh....ummmm... looking for Jesus in my *****....yeah...that's it!"
      • Pitofdoom, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Quite the contrary, if he was pitching what was she receiving ?
    • wild, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5I imagine it was more confirmation than shock.
  • swrostmore, on 07/17/2008, -0/+9At what point does it stop being a coincidence? How many more will it take?

  • OffPiste, on 07/17/2008, -4/+3Why are we even going to hold an election? Hasn't Obama already won? Seems like an awful waste of money. Why let the thugs vote, they're going to lose anyway.
    • PolishLogic, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Spoken like a true believer in democracy....
  • rhabd0mancer, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3Sounds like Troy King needs an Accountabilibuddy.
    • mentallyinhell, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2You mean somebody to hold accountabilibuddyable?
  • obamayomama, on 07/17/2008, -7/+0In other news, Keith Olbermann had gay sex with Obama in a limousine and Nancy Pelosi cleaned up.
    • neognostic, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Another gay Republican comes out of the closet, please keep you fantasies to yourself.
    • obamayomama, on 07/17/2008, -3/+0Oh, and I thought you Nutroots were so tolerant too. I guess you're the real homophobes.
  • cjshamrock, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4Homophobes are the worst kind of gay. Get out of the closet, KKK!
  • spookyttws, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3I don't get the need to resign from a job because you've been outed. I get why he resigned from McCain's campaign I'm sure it was a resign or be fired deal, but the line 'Alabama Attorney General has no plans to resign from his post' seems unnecessary. Your sexual orientation should have nothing to do with your job.

    That said, this guy's a hypocritical *****.
  • ArtificialAnus, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6
    Unsurprising. It has in fact been shown that hypocrisy is rooted in so-called "high moral values"

  • PolishLogic, on 07/17/2008, -2/+1I love the aftermath of these things. Ex-New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey went from zero to super queen, shortly after coming out.
