| 15. Sounds like John Harwood and AMERICAblog are trying to stir up shit. |
|
Where in there does anyone from the WH say gays are part of the “Internet fringe”? From what I just read, that was John Harwood’s opinion. He then goes on to cite some unnamed adviser who allegedly told him that BLOGGERS “need to take off the pajamas, get dressed, and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated and difficult.”
