Fuck you.
Fuck you, George Bush. Fuck you, Scott Bloch. Fuck you, the very single 38 year old and never been married Ken Mehlman. Fuck you, Mary Cheney and your entire milquetoast sell out family.
From today's Washington Post:
Special counsel Scott J. Bloch told a Senate panel yesterday that he lacks the legal authority to enforce the Bush administration's ban on discrimination against federal employees based on sexual orientation.Well, since Bush claims he supports the non-discrimination policy, and since there's nothing in federal law that permits the White House to enforce Bush's own policy, then why not pass a quick amendment in Congress that gives Bush the authority to protect gay federal workers if he so chooses?
If a federal manager fires, reassigns or takes some other action against an employee simply because that employee is gay, there is nothing in federal law that would permit the Office of Special Counsel to protect the worker, Bloch testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs subcommittee on oversight of government management, the federal workforce and the District of Columbia.
