News: Chuck Bass, Taiwan, Authors, Male Escort, ‘Dictatorship’

December 27, 2012 by Andrew Belonsky

1NewsIcon Rather than discussing US-Taiwan relations with King Pu-tsung, their representative to the US, Taiwanese lawmakers were more interested in asking him questions about rumors that he's gay and having an affair with President Ma Ying-jeou: "King said it was 'unfair' that people have claimed that his political
progress has been spurred along through sexual relationships, adding
that the insinuation was also insulting to homosexuals."

Boehner1NewsIcon Senate Majority leader Harry Reid
is blaming GOP House Speaker John Boehner of running the House like a "dictatorship" and intentionally obstructing fiscal cliff negotiations. "Everyone knows that if they had brought up the Senate-passed bill, it
would pass overwhelmingly. But the speaker says, no we can't do that,"
Reid said today. "It's [the House] being
operated by a dictatorship of the speaker."

1NewsIcon The Journal-News, a newspaper for New York's Westchester and Rockland Counties, is at the center of a privacy debate after publishing the names and addresses of gun-owning residents. "Turns out the stunt was so unpopular — with gun owners and privacy
advocates alike — that a blogger named Christopher Fountain took it upon
himself to dig up and organize the names, addresses, and phone numbers
of the Journal-News staff, starting with editor Cyndee Royle."

1NewsIcon Brian Schatz has been sworn in to replace late Hawaiian Sen. Daniel Inouye. "I am honored to serve in this capacity, and I can assure you that if given the opportunity, I will make Hawaii proud," he said. "I'm going to work very hard, and I understand the road ahead is going to be challenging for all of us, but it also is potentially a hopeful time to rebuild as a united congressional delegation."
