A reaction to Pace

Now Pace says his comments were just his “personal moral views” and “personal opinions.” Well, ye-ah! Meanwhile, in my rushed reaction to Joint Chiefs’ Chairman General Peter Pace’s comments yesterday, I missed this:

Sen. John Warner, R-Va., one of Congress’ most respected authorities on military matters and a former Navy secretary, said, “I respectfully but strongly disagree with the chairman’s view that homosexuality is immoral.”

Via Stephen H. Miller, “the threshold of anti-gay bigotry is much lower these days, even among Republicans (see Coulter, Ann, response to), suggesting that the gay ban is unlikely to survive the post-Bush presidency, whichever party takes the White House.”
