Create a testosterone-loaded atmosphere, and the repressed homoeroticism will always come to the surface. Consider, for instance, all of that ass-touching that goes on during a football game. Or Hardball host Chris Matthew's constant adoration of Bush's body and how he looked when he walked around in that tight-fitting flight suit.

Now it's Zell Miller, the right-wing Democrat from Georgia, who continues to insist that what went on in Abu Ghraib was nothing more than what happens in a fraternity hazing. (Even that statement is suspicious, since we now know that horrifying things go in fraternity hazings, but that's another issue.)

Now, Miller says that the most humiliating thing that ever happened to him was that he had to shower with other men when he was in the Marines. Poor Zell. He says it didn't kill him, of course, but it did appear to traumatize him.
