Vetting for Mitt Romney’s Vice President: “have you had a homosexual encounter?”

Umm, what republican hasn’t? Romney’s henchmen have been on the move for months, vetting potential VP candidates to avoid any campaign killing secrets that one might have. And it is almost as invasive as a prostate exam although not as fun.

Jason Zengerle of GQ went to Washington’s top vetters only to find out what they really want to know; are you tea-bagging on the side…
