Gang of Projectors...
Or "Gang Of Perverts," if you prefer a simpler line

Oct. 4, 2006 -- New York (apj.us) -- Remember the John Fund/Morgan Pillsbury story? If not, check it out.

Fund, who cooked up the canard that Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal had beaten up his wife, was later busted for assaulting his own girlfriend. (And that's the least repulsive aspect of the narrative!)

That sort of mad projection--pederasts decrying pederasty, closet cases backing homophobic laws, Jews sounding off like Nazis, and so on-- is no trivial or seconday matter, but the driving force behind Bush/Cheney's movement.

In other words, it's not just the money and/or power. Deep down, it's the pathology.

You would think that with the GOP betrayal of our youth still red hot in the news, the Republican leadership wouldn't be raising money for a Congressman who last year was outed for allegedly trying to strangle his mistress.

But you would be wrong.

Pennsylvania Republican Don Sherwood is 64, married and the father of three daughters. But last year, Cynthia Ore, 29, sued Sherwood. It seems Sherwood had been keeping her as his Washington mistress. Ms. Ore says that Sherwood "repeatedly struck her in the face, neck, chest and back, 'violently yanking' her hair and repeatedly tried to choke or strangle her. Afterward he would tell her he would never beat her again, then beg her not to leave him."
