Earlier this week, Senator Santorum (R., PA) stood by
comments he made on a Catholic website in 2002 when he said:
'It is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political, and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm" of the clergy sexual abuse scandal.
In a brief interview with the Boston Globe on Tuesday, Santorum reiterated his view that the 'basic liberal attitude" in Boston fostered an environment where sexual abuse of children could occur.
Many slammed him for politicizing a scandal that has touched many across the country - way beyond the borders of Massachusetts.
Separate, but of great importance to one who waves a flag of "traditional family values" and repeated homophobic rhetoric, how does
Senator Santorum "square the fact" that his "mouthpiece" to the world (Director of Communications,
Robert Traynham)
came out as a gay man this afternoon?

Boston Herald sports reporter outs himself in print and asks why people in the world of sports still have to hide.
Frankly, I'm out because I can't come up with a single logical reason why I should have denied myself the right to live and work as openly and freely as everyone else. Nor should anyone find a reason why an openly gay athlete should be denied the right to play a team sport without fear of becoming a target of prejudice or physical harm. See
Outsports for more info on the subject, and an interesting
pro and con on whether gay baseball players should come out.
