From MSNBC:
Stone helping Paterson defeat Cuomo is weirdly logical, in that he has said that the GOP would rather run a gubernatorial candidate against the incumbent than Cuomo.
But O’Byrne reaching out to Stone for help with gay marriage makes much more sense. Stone, who calls himself “a total Republican” not a “Christian-right conservative,” knows a thing or two about being ostracized for sexual tastes that run counter the delicate sensibilities that often dictate politics.
In 1996, Stone was forced to remove himself from Bob Dole’s presidential campaign after it was discovered that he and his wife had placed ads in a publication called Local Swing Fever that read, in part, “Hot, insatiable lady and her handsome body builder husband, experienced swingers, seek similar couples or exceptional muscular . . . single men.”
