GOP sex scandal of the day: Bruce Barclay

Barclay was in the right. He had an iron-clad alibi. The young man was one of the prostitutes with whom Barclay had shared hundreds of sexual encounters over the years -- and he'd videotaped all of them, using high-tech surveillance cameras without their consent.

None of the subjects were aware they were being filmed and no permission had been obtained, Barclay admitted. According to a second warrant issued on April 9th, Barclay also admitted to hiring prostitutes on a weekly basis from the now-defunct website harrisburgfratboys.com.

Barclay admits to taping as many as 500 sexual encounters over the years. I know you're thinking what I'm thinking. Was one of these prostitutes Jeff Gannon?

You've got to wonder why gay Republicans stay closeted. Isn't the tent the party has pitched big enough to accommodate above-boards homosexual sex?

Well, maybe not yet. Swingers like Roger Stone can roam from orgy to orgy and remain high-level Republican operatives. The message: If it's your wife you swap, you stay an op. If it's guys you crave, stay in your cave. Or something.

Not everyone has turned on Barclay. He's got backers among the Mechanicsburg High School drama department, who named their theater after him due to Barclay's generous donations.

Word on whether his donations went to musical theater programs was unavailable at blog time.
