Austin Chronicle 'Finds No Evidence' Of Gay Sex Scandal


For the record, Naked City looked into the Perry rumors when they first surfaced some weeks ago – inevitably accompanied by the warning, "The divorce papers are being filed today!" – and found no evidence of any truth to any of them, whatsoever.

Amid much finger-pointing about who was the original source (and which political party he or she belongs to), nobody will go on the record.

We also know that numerous other reporters, from here to New York, have looked into the rumors, with, as far as we know, an identical lack of results.

el - Of course this treatment of rumors of a GOP sex scandal by the media, this is the first print or TV acknowledgement after weeks of heavy rumors, contrasts sharply with the media treatment of Democrat sex scandal rumors. Drudge, Rush, Fox News, US TV stations and London newspapers were all over a Kerry infidelity rumor with fewer facts and sources.
