Former Republican National Committee chairman and Bush-Cheney campaign manager Ken Mehlman has announced publicly that he is gay, CBS News chief political consultant and politics editor for The Atlantic Marc Ambinder reports.
"It's taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life," Mehlman said. "Everybody has their own path to travel, their own journey, and for me, over the past few months, I've told my family, friends, former colleagues, and current colleagues, and they've been wonderful and supportive. The process has been something that's made me a happier and better person. It's something I wish I had done years ago, but I didn't."
Mehlman was RNC chairman from 2005 to 2007 after serving as Bush-Cheney campaign manager in 2004. He also served as White House political director during President Bush's first term.

There is something wrong when it takes 43 years to get comfortable with who you are.

I’ve been thinking about announcing that I am remaining straight....probably wouldn’t get as much press.

Poor Ken, he was the last to know.

no wonder the GOP did so terrible in 2008, the Chairman was too preoccupied. Did he have some of his pardners on staff??

This is not news. He’s been “outed” several times. I think Bill Maher actually outed him on his show.

I don’t care one way or the other, Ken.
It bothers me when folks try to make an issue of someone’s sexuality unnecessarily — including the person in question.

Except I'm married and fat and bald and old and grumpy.
