Gay Democrat Leader Laments Inhofe Near-Miss

A homosexual leader of the Oklahoma Democratic Party makes it plain in an Internet blog posting that he wishes the military airplane carrying Senator Jim Inhofe, three other members of Congress and a full crew had been shot down over Iraq.

James Nimmo, treasurer of Central Oklahoma Stonewall Democrats and a representative to the Oklahoma Democratic Party's Central Committee, posted a wire service story about the C-130 being attacked as it left Baghdad with the headline, "So close yet so far...Inhofe plane fired on in Iraq." (http://www.demookie.com/)

Nimmo does not elaborate on his headline, but the intent of his message is clear. Nimmo is an outspoken critic of Inhofe and regularly criticizes him. Nimmo writes a column for a gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender (GLBT) publication in Los Angeles.

Later in the day, in a second post, there was this from another writer: "Tragically, not a single member of Congress has been killed in Iraq...."

On another Oklahoma Democrat blog (http://www.okdemocrat.com/), posters are commenting on, "We can't get rid of this crazy bastard," referring to Inhofe and the airplane attack.
