It’s an open secret that he is gay and lives with his Chief of Staff. He’s still an okay Congressman.
Issues don’t matter in democrat districts, neither do character. Just the letter after the name. The district his home is now, the democrat could be a tax cheat who beats up hookers and he’d still easily beat the best Republicans.
I have heard the rumors about Dreier for years, but didn’t know that they were more than rumors. But if he’s indeed gay, I guess that for a while there he had as hot of a beard as a middle-aged congressman could find: Bo Derek.
BTW, seeing Dreier referred to as a Republican from San Dimas, I came up with what I think would make the best possible (G-rated) headline/subheadline combo for his retirement:
“David Dreier to Retire Due to Redistricting:
San Dimas Republican Meets His Waterloo”
10 points for the first to figure out why I find that funny.
Can you say "Nadia Lockyer?"
