A Frothy Mixture of Surprise

Perhaps you've seen this piece about outgoing Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum:

After a meeting with a Pennsylvania-based activist Adrian Shanker, US Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) has signed onto a letter affirming that his office does not discriminate in hiring on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The article doesn't mention Santorum's longtime Communications Director Robert Traynham is himself a practicing homosexual. When the lavender blogopshpere picked up on this awhile back, the Senator of Nottingham said:

He is widely respected and admired on Capitol Hill, both among the press corps and among congressional staff, as a communications professional... Not only is Mr. Traynham an exemplary staffer, he is also a trusted friend and confidante to me and my family.

In an earlier statement in a speech to the National Socialist Students League, Santorum observed:

If the Supreme Court says that you have a right to consesual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.

All good suggestions for the weekend.
