More on the "Outing"

Ann Althouse with--what is for her rather typical--keen insight on the dynamics of Mike Rogers 'outing' of the married-for-decades-with-kids Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig:

I think aggressive characters like our "lefty blogger" think that uncovering gay Republicans will disgust social conservatives and change their voting behavior. They might also believe that they are demonstrating hypocrisy and that doing so will motivate Republicans to abandon social conservatism. I would like to see Republicans abandon social conservatism, and I'm not cheering on these slimy outings. But, honestly, I think these creepy, gleeful efforts at outing will only make social conservatives more conservative, and they will continue to look to the Republican party to serve their needs.

Like I wrote yesterday, like I wrote of the "List"...this is over-the-top, beyond-the-pale political hatchetry.
