What crisis?
WaPo: Richard Cohen: ‘Even for Bush, for whom the bar is set very low, his statement on gay marriage lacks intellectual consistency.’ [→ READ ]
Richard highlights the illogic involved in this gay-marriage amendment dipsh1ttery:
In the style and rigor of his argument, Bush talked about marriage as he did recently about Iraq. He made one assertion after another, linking them not with evidence or with logic, but simply with the word “and.” Saddam Hussein is a madman and a threat to the United States. How? Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. Doesn’t matter. He was a threat to us all.
It is the same with gay and lesbian marriage. Whatever you may think, it represents no threat to our way of life — no reason to take the very serious step of amending the Constitution. The amendment would not bar or condemn homosexuality, which is the real issue here, but merely turn marriage into a version of a restricted club: Gays need not apply.
