All you need to do is call up gay man Israel Hernandez, former right hand man to Karl Rove and now a Bush nominee for assistant secretary of commerce.

The NY Daily News' Rush & Malloy column chats about the nominee's hearing, during which most of the room was referred to. Izzy went so far as to intro mom, dad and sister. Where's the long-term boyfriend people wondered.

From Friday's Daily News:

President Bush isn't letting potential howls from the Christian right stop him from nominating an openly gay man as assistant secretary of commerce.

Just in time for Pride Week, Bush has tapped longtime aide Israel Hernandez for the post, which also carries the title of director general of the United States and Foreign Commercial Service.

It's little secret the head of the RNC - Ken "I cannot confirm or deny that I'm a heterosexual" Mehlman" is gay. There has been some speculation that Jeff Gannon was having sexual trysts at the White House with a ranking admin official (and as you may remember, Jeff was a gay hooker for hire).
