Former Massachsuetts Congressman Gerry Studds has died.
The 69-year-old Studds died this morning at Boston Univesrity Medical Center.
He'd been hospitalized after sustaining head injuries from an accident while walking his dog.
Studds was a ranking member of the House Democratic leadership and advocated for New England fishermen and the ocean environment.
studds, who grew up in Cohasset, was the first openly gay person elected to Congress. He served from 1973 to 1997.
He is survived by his husband, Dean Hara. the couple was among the first same sex couples to be legally married in Massachusetts.
They didn't even mention his scandal. You can bet when they print Foley's obituary, they'll devote several paragraphs to "FoleyGate"
so sorry to hear, but the libs will have another wellstone moment I'm sure....
I'll never get used to it.
Wonder if Stubbs was "the wife."
"He is survived by his husband, Dean Hara."
So, that made Gerry Dean's wife and Dean is now a widower.
I wonder if Congress will honor him by naming the dorm where the pages sleep after him???
I'm sorry to hear that he passed. God bless to him and his loved ones.
Gee... Do ya think that the MSM will mention his sodomizing a congressional page because of all their talk about the Foley non story?
Anyone want to give me bets on whether they'll report on it?
So he was the "wife" I take it.
Oopsie. Forgot to mention his sex with a teenage page. I am sure that will be missing from everyone"s obits on Foley when that day comes.
The timing is so ironic.
Well, bummer. I was hoping someday Barney Frank and he would run as a ticket for something, just so I could laugh at the bumper stickers:
"Frank-Studds. They're Not Just Our Names. They're Our Way Of Life."
R.I.P.
I wonder what the "accident" was?
Hmmm! Can I be like the Dims and find the timing of this suspicious?
Well, I'll at least pass my condolences on to his family. I'm sure someone loved him, and is experiencing grief over his passing...
Cospiracy theories...gee, since Americans don't like to speak ill of the dead...
Looks like he's conveniently gone. I wanted to see ads about him!
At least be honest: Studds was a ranking member of the House Democratic leadership and congressman who performed statutory rape of a 17 year old boy to then go on to stay in congress.
A contradiction in terms. "Ally in perversion" would be the preferred term. Other cruder expletives are also accetable to describe the relationship between two sexually interactive males.
