The Fly Profiles Godfather Guzzardi

The Fly Under the Dome, a new blog getting lots of attention in Harrisburg did a profile today on GOP renegade Bob Guzzardi, calling him the Godfather. Guzzardi has been mired in controversy before. As the owner of a popular gym in Philadelphia's gayborhood he used the fees paid by his mostly gay clientele to support Republican politicians like Rick Santorum. Then, just as a large demonstration and boycott was about to target his business he sold out. Now it seems he's ticking off an entirely new segment of people: the Republican establishment.
