House Dorothys Dutifully Fork Over Cash, Presence at DNC Fundraiser
What shall we do about House Dororthys (and Dorothyettes) Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, Joan Garry (who first struck me as utterly spineless when she was head of GLAAD in the early days of the “Stop Dr. Laura” campaign), and Jared Polis (who’s becoming quite the cojone-free party apologist; read the article, not merely the headline) — all of whom were slated to attend tonight’s Gay ATM Fundraiser for the backstabbing DNC?
(Andy Tobias has a plausible excuse; he’s the treasurer of the DNC. But — even though I’ve had casual contact with Andy over the years, and know him to be a good, earnest sort — he really needs to grow a set.)
Meanwhile, Queerty wants to know why the SLDN (Servicemembers Legal Defense Network) is attending, yet plans to march on the White House two days later. We’d like to know why, too.
There was indeed a protest, small but vocal, with a memorable warning-chant for the Democrats:
“We’ll remember in November…”
The Boston Herald has the story, and a very good photo gallery.
