Saxby Chambliss says gay slur originated with his office<\/a>

My AJC colleague Bob Keefe in Washington has this: U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ office has determined it was indeed the source of a highly publicized homosexual-bashing slur on an Internet site. But in a statement, Chambliss’ office said it has not discovered exactly who was behind the slur, and has turned the matter over to the Senate Sergeant At Arms.<\/p>\n

“The [Sergeant at Arms] has worked side by side with our personnel to determine whether the comment in question emanated from our office. That appears to be the case,” an unsigned statement from Chambliss’ press office read. “There has not been a determination as to who posted the comment,” the statement read. “That part of the review is ongoing, and is now in the hands of the Senate Sergeant at Arms.” Spokeswomen for Chambliss did not return a reporters phone calls or emails seeking more details.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, a poster identifying himself as “Jimmy” wrote “All faggots must die<\/font><\/strong>” on Joe.My.God.<\/strong>, a blog dedicated to gay and lesbian issues – just as Republican Chambliss and other senators were debating a Democratic proposal to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The proposal failed. The posting was traced back to an Internet Protcol address matching Chambliss’ office, but it’s unclear whether it was one of his offices in Georgia or in Washington.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
My guess is that either this will go nowhere or come out with my favorite Senator, Saxby Chambliss<\/strong>, saying something righteous about not tolerating blah, blah, blah<\/em>… But it means something nonetheless. General McChrystal ended his career around having an office with people with a bad attitude. Saxby says<\/strong><\/a> of "don’t ask, don’t tell:"<\/div>\n
