"Jake Tapper, then a writer for Salon.com, noted in a 2003 article about Foley that his refusal to discuss his "sexual orientation" was being defended by Charles Francis, the co-chair of the "influential" Republican Unity Coalition. Francis called the matter a "non-issue." The group's advisory board includes such figures as former President Gerald R. Ford, David Rockefeller, and former Rep. Susan Molinari.
One of the financial patrons of the Log Cabin Republicans, multimillionaire former Republican Congressman Michael Huffington, is the ex-husband of liberal activist Arianna Huffington. Foley appeared at the group's 2003 convention. But other top Republicans who have been associated with the Log Cabin organization include Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Senator John Sununu, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Gordon Smith, Senator Lincoln Chafee, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Rep. Rob Simmons, Rep. Darrell Issa, former Senator John Danforth, and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman. Some of the "Washington insiders" who have participated in Log Cabin events include Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, David Boaz of the Cato Institute, and writer Andrew Sullivan. "
Ya gotta love it, when the hardcore goes after the other hardcore.
