No Gay Barrs in Dallas

Here's a page that deserves a double-take in your game of Republican Website Roulette. Look! Former Congressman Bob Barr is going to address the Log Cabin Republicans National Convention in Dallas. And from the looks of his photo he will be doing it grudgingly. This must the publicity shot he sends out when he's not happy about the gig. As a matter of fact it looks like he is thinking "I'm not happy about this."


I'm sure the LCRs on the other hand are so elated to be validated by a straight mainstream former office holder that they will give him a rousing cheer no matter what he says. If his message is "It's none of my business what you people do," standing O. If he tells them "I had a gal. Worked for me some years ago. Came in, did her job. Can't remember her name," ten minute applause break. If he says "...so Tom Delay says 'Jack Abramoff' and I say 'it looks like someone already did," the roof will be brought down.

Here is the photo accompanying Barr's profile in Wikipedia which states in the opening paragraph "He is also noted for his austere demeanour." This is fair, but one can objectively argue that the Log Cabin photo is a wee bit more austere than the Wiki pic.
