You never answered my post about Hormel. What did you think of Clinton's choice in that regard? Do you think Hormel's appointment makes it more or less likely to positively affect relations between the countries? JLA

I don't know what about this is so difficult for you to follow. Here is the passage. ...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. The impression I get is tolerance. Bush does not want a gay rights crusade in his administration. Or a hetero rights crusade. Just the way it should be, wouldn't you agree?
