There's a line in Allen Drury's Advise & Consent about a pink shirt.

Oh but that was in the 'fifties. Surely we can handle a homosexual in a leadership position.

Three dead men at Wright's church: Young, Bland and Spencer.

Here's the exhumation of the unsettling talk of the time--remember, 1998 was impeachment, Clinton body count:

Did Newt Gingrich Out Brit Hume’s Dead Gay Son?

The other cause posited was Sandy Hume's investigation of Mary Caitlan Mahoney as one of the victims of the Starbucks mass murder, that she was a former White House intern about to come forward with more allegations.

One thing is certain, Brit Hume has a personal animus for Newt Gingrich.

If this is true, it would explain Britt's uncharacteristic showing of his bias toward Newt. I never watch BO'R, but I always watch Special Report. Britt was on tonight and, after his comments about Newt, Bret spoke up and said that what Britt had just said was HIS personal opinion as if he wanted to distance himself from Britt's statement. I knew that Britt had a son (his only child, as I recall) that had committed suicide but this is the first time that I ever heard this story or that Sandy Hume was gay. It also shows that there may have been more to the "mutiny" against Newt than meets the eye. It may have been due more to personal animosity against Newt rather than a problem with his leadership style.
