Tweety's guest, some bald headed douchebag from the "Log Cabin Republicans." They're discussing RomneyGayGate, and why Romney hasn't spoken out on the departure of his "openly gay spokesman," Richard Grenell.
I'm working right now and have the TV on the background, so I'm not paying rapt attention and don't recall how Tweety dragged Norquist into the discussion. But the bald guy didn't like it and replied with what I wrote in my subject line.

(82,849 posts)"So, Richard Grenell just quit his job out of the blue, or was there pressure on the Romney campaign to show him the door?" (I suspect the answer is that the campaign was pressured to cashier Grenell)
"Was Grenell incompetent, or did Romney cave to a special interest group?" (Yeah, he caved to the homophobes)
"Did Grenell act conspicuously gay, or were his job duties completely independent of his sexual orientation?" (No, Grenell was a model of rectitude, just an out gay man; his silence curiously didn't save him)
"So what does that say about candidate Mitt Romney, and is it fair to project his meek acceptance of bigotry in this instance into any potential Romney administration?" (He's a wet noodle with a spine of thinnest jello, and anyone who doesn't fit the proper mold had better think twice about taking a job with Romney, since he won't stand up for his own people)
