It's really getting nasty with Thompson. Since they couldn't get a rise out of the "Trophy Wife" smear, Sullivan is now intimating he was gay.
Stay Classy, Atlantic Monthly: Atlantic's Bitch-Blogger Andrew Sullivan Puts Out "Fred Thompson Is A Faggot" Rumor
ACE OF SPADES
As Influence Peddler says, "Since that last [smear campaign, pegging him as a trophy-wife cradle-robbing womanizer] fizzled, his political enemies have now decided to try and convince us of the opposite. If he's not a licentious womanizer, then he must be gay."
Please don't hit the Sullivan and Wonkette links; it's what these drama queen traffic whore slander-slinging cocksuckers (and I use that word advisedly) want.
I'll post what they had to say here, sans link. Trust me.
Andrew Sullivan:
"Outside the extremist, activist base, regular GOP voters turn out to be relatively tolerant when it comes to sexual minorities and private sex lives. They're not well represented by their party leaders, as far as policy is concerned. This is good news for Fred Thompson. The man has had a colorful and wide-ranging sex life, as I'm sure we will soon find out."
Wonkette:
Translated: COUGH COUGH GAY COUGH COUGH FRED THOMPSON IS GAY GAY GAY COUGH COUGH
But that's not all.
Sullivan is not even close to the first person we've heard float this particular rumor, not that that says anything as to its truth.
In case anyone doubts that's what Sullivan meant, check out this blog, also floating the rumor:
Is Fred Thompson on the Downlow?

Why are all his ex-girlfriends so eager to come to the defense of his manliness?
Why did James Dobson say he was "un-Christian"?
Why is Rush Limbaugh complaining about the coverage of Thompson as sex symbol, saying, "There's something wrong here"?
Lots and lots of rumors. I've heard them myself - I've even talked to someone who has witnessed some interesting behavior. I noticed when the Washington Post recently profiled him, several of the local commenters reacted along the lines of "I thought he was gay?"
The left has been spreading this for a while -- and now Andrew "Milky Loads" Sullivan peddles the gay rumor, without any substantiation, on the blog of a venerable, respected magazine.
Did they clear that, Andrew?
