More From the Double Standards File

For those of you not from New Jersey, you may not be aware that James McGreevey, governor of New Jersey, submitted his resignation recently after his sometime paramour, an Israeli national named Golan Cipel, threatened to sue him for sexual harrassment. Most of the outrage about this particular scandal was due to Cipel's highly-paid position as a homeland security adviser. In short, the governor put his boyfriend on the payroll.



A shandeh, right? Another reason why Democrats are inherently scummy, as opposed to good, upstanding, Christian, heterosexual Republicans, right?



Well, stop the bus. Modern Fabulousity is reporting today that conservative Republican California Congressman David Dreier's chief of staff, with whom he lived, is unusually highly paid relative to other Congressional chiefs of staff. ModFab has more; so does Blue Lemur.



None of this would really be a concern for anyone, if Dreier hadn't voted against just about every gay rights measure to come up for a vote.



It's the hypocrisy, stupid!
