Fallon: Leonard Boswell Is a Cross-Dresser

This report from Des Moines Register writer April Pheull,

An e-mail allegedly sent out by his congressional challenger, Ed Fallon, stated
that "Do constituents of Leonard Boswell approve of their 'Cross-dressing
Congressman'?" The message then went on to allege that Congressman Boswell
had been seen in Lane Bryant stores trying on women's clothing and furnished
a picture of Boswell wearing a mid-length red dress.

Spokesperson for Congressman Leonard Boswell, JoDee Winterhof , in a press conference this morning said, "The allegations that Rep. Boswell is, was, or ever will be a transvestite are outrageous. This is the kind of low level attacks that Ed Fallon has been pulling that simply have no merit." He went on to say that Boswell had indeed put on the dress, but it was merely to entertain his wife of over 50 years, Dody and, said Winterhof "Dody was none too amused."

A spokesperson for the Fallon campaign said, "While we can get no "redress" from Congressman Boswell on his allegations of misdeeds by our campaign, apparently he does fill out a "red dress," very amply."
