The White House ripped CBS News on Thursday for publishing an online column by a blogger who made assertions about the sexual orientation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, widely viewed as a leading candidate for the Supreme Court.
Ben Domenech, a former Bush administration aide and Republican Senate staffer, wrote that President Obama would "please" much of his base by picking the "first openly gay justice." An administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing personal matters, said Kagan is not a lesbian.

What is it with all these powerful democrat women such as, Napolitano, Reno, and now Kagan? They all look like “Pat” from the old “Is it a man or a Woman?” skit they used to have on SNL.
So along with Souter, that would make for 2 gays on the Supreme Court.
A White House spokesman, Ben LaBolt, said he complained to CBS because the column "made false charges."
Makes it sound like she's doing something wrong. You got something against about being gay LaBolt?
Barney Frank:She’s one of ours.
Gay or not, Kagan is a card-carrying obamaite.
Since we want the Supreme Court to overthrow obamacare, Republicans must filibuster her nomination and fight it to the bitter end!!!!
Matthew Broderick needs to lose some weight
Good post SkyPilot, and ditto’s to what you said.
So says Anita Dunn who is working for a big eared LIAR.
Are they saying that being gay is a bad thing?
Seems to me that by being in denial, they are offending those who are gay.
The right response, regardless of if she is gay or not should be: We don't know if she is gay, but so what if she is?
This would do two things: Appease the Barney Frank fans and help secure a Republican takeover of the House and possibly the Senate.
Are they playing politics over this? nah.
Dan Farber, editor in chief of CBSNews.com, said that Domenech's column "just got through our filters" and that if his staff had seen "a controversial statement like that, we'd want to get more evidence of its accuracy" before publishing it. "
The rest of the article laments the fact that anyone was able to speak the truth about this woman's "lifestyle" at all.
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that ..."

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all machinations coming from the WH and specifically from Anita Dunn.
Kagan is too conservative for her likings.
guilty
Some people can pass, and some can’t. Apparently she has a partner. I think people should ask why Obama thinks it is bad for her to be labelled a lesbian?
The Obama Tomboy Team at work. Bull Dykes have many power positions in the Democrat Party.
Good one. I thought the very same thing, but you voiced it first. Freepers are way ahead of the curve.
The list, ping
Exactly.
The only kind of diversity they are afraid of is ideological.
The WH floated this story.
Don’t mean to be mean but if she is not a lesbian that is a terrible waste of ugly.
