And the Washington Post would like them to stop it. From Joe over at AMERICAblog Gay:
In DC, the insiders, who Digby aptly named the Villagers, know Paul Clement. He's one of them. So, we should all stop being mean to him. In their eyes, he's a man of integrity who is doing the right thing. The Post's openly gay Jonathan Capehart wrote a post on how we should all "respect Clement" for "willingness to hold principle high above pressure."There's much of Joe's column over there.
Yes, Paul Clement is so noble. Defending DOMA is really such an upstanding cause. It's only a law that treats gay Americans as second-class citizens. It's only a law that prevents full equality for same-sex couples. But, among the elite in DC, that's not what's at stake. No, the gays have been mean to one of their own. We've violated the hierarchy.
