Gays on the Warpath Against Barbara Boxer

You'd think that the gay rights activists would be madly in love with Sen. Barbara "Dumb as a Box of Rocks" Boxer, but it's not so:

One of the Senate's most liberal members finds herself in hot water with — of all people — major gay rights groups — over the Larry Craig case.

The Hill reports California Democrat Barbara Boxer — who heads the ethics committee — is being pressured to drop the investigation into Craig's airport restroom arrest. Craig was accused of soliciting gay sex — pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct — then reneged on a promise to resign.

Gay leaders say the ethics probe is a witch hunt motivated by the homophobia of Republican Senate leaders.

Senator Tappy Toes might get a pass on his restroom violation if Boxer succombs to the pressure from the gay groups.
