"NEW YORK -- The National Board of the American Civil Liberties Union voted unanimously this weekend to appoint Anthony D. Romero, a Ford Foundation executive and public interest attorney, as the sixth executive director in the institution's 81-year history:"

Merry Christmas Anthony

Ford Foundation executive... big surprise there... not

[tuesday afternoon]

"Leading the ACLU will be a life's dream and aspiration come true," added Romero, who becomes the first Latino and openly gay man to head the ACLU.

Bump.

I wonder how Tony's sainted mother, Mrs. Romero, feels about her son becoming the Grinch who stole Christmas?

She'll be working her beads twice as fast now.

BY the way, my gaydar went off when I saw this picture.

Nothing like an openly gay Fudge Packer who hates Christians, Americans, our Military and Republicans to be in charge to the Anti Christian Lawyer's Union.

"Romero, an attorney with a history of public-interest activism, also presided over the most successful membership drive in the ACLU's 82-year history. In his first year, 75,000 individuals became card-carrying members of the organization for the first time.

"He is the ACLU's sixth executive director, and he is the first Latino and openly gay man to serve in that capacity. He came to the organization from the Ford Foundation's Human Rights and International Cooperation Program, which he led through a period of extraordinary growth, transforming it into Ford's largest and most dynamic grant-making unit. As director of that program, he channeled approximately $90 million in grants to civil-rights, human rights and peace projects in 2000, and launched groundbreaking initiatives in affirmative action, voting rights and redistricting, immigrants' rights, women's rights, reproductive freedom and lesbian/gay rights.
