Mike Rogers Outs South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer

Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer (R-SC)

Mike Rogers is a blogger and citizen journalist who has a 100% accurate record in outing closeted gay men. He appears in Kirby Dick's documentary Outrage (see MadProfessah's review) which includes footage of Rogers largest scalp, U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-Wyoming).

Yesterday, Rogers outed South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer as a closeted gay man on his blog, blogactive.com:

And for those reasons I am now able to confirm a rumor that has circulated in South Carolina for years. South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer is a closeted anti-gay politician who stands to replace Mark Sanford should Sanford resign or be impeached (a real possibility as Sanford is caught in his own sex scandal.)

[...]

I was led on a path to chatting with acquaintances of the source and two former employees of Bauer who served on his staff between 2004 and 2007. They reported to me that on a total of three occasions Bauer spent hours alone with men in hotel rooms. Each of them explained that the visits were with younger men who were not on the staff of the Lt. Governor nor had any official reason to be with him. The two men each confirmed that they had not known each other and each described similar circumstances under which these interactions occurred. One of them confirmed that he was told by the Lt. Governor's visitor he had a sexual encounter with Bauer.

His record? The bachelor is a right wing Christian conservative. He's done everything from defend the state issuing "I believe" license plates (complete with a cross on them) to defending the right of schools to use corporal punishment. In the presidential election he supported Mike Huckabee.

It will be interesting to see what impact whether South Carolina Republicans will want to replace their adulterous Governor for a closeted homosexual one!
