We have this report: <<<On the issue of gay rights, Armstrong asked the governor whether he thought it was OK for an ambassador and department heads to be openly homosexual. Bush told the group he would not "knowingly" appoint a practicing homosexual as an ambassador or department head, but neither would he dismiss anyone who was discovered to be a homosexual after being named to a position. The impression Armstrong received was that as long as someone kept his or her sexual preferences private and did not promote them to influence policy, Bush could live with such an arrangement.>>> This is the source. Only the word "knowingly" is in direct quotes, of course. One never knows, does one? But I find this a credible account. Do you? I believe you offered the second paragraph above, of Armstrong's overall "impression" as credible? texnews.com I acknowledge that you did answer the hypothetical directly, by the way, and appreciate it. 'Night, all.
