A Spork in the Drawer

If It's Election Season...

...it's time for the Republicans to play the bigot card.

The proposed Amendment XXVIII to the Constitution:

Section 1. This article may be cited as the `Marriage Protection Amendment'.

Section 2. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.

While it's not going to even get out of Congress it's worth mentioning because of two co-sponsors: "Diaper Dave" Vitter and Larry "Wide Stance" Craig.

GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Meanwhile in a likely effort to help St. John's flailing campaign the great state of Arizona is putting a ballot initiative up for a vote that would ban marriage amongst Teh Gaiz. This would be the same initiative that was voted down in '06. Try, try again, I suppose.

See, if the Republican Party had a platform that most people could support they wouldn't need to engage in such silliness.

Another Day...

...another Republican criminal:

Republican Rep. Rick Renzi has been indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to a land deal in Arizona.

But wait, there's more! Via Laura Rozen, Renzi has a mysterious background:

For a national political figure who served on the powerful House Intelligence Committee, Renzi's background is, as described by Wikipedia, "unclear."

[...]

Exactly what Renzi did for the next two decades is blurry. He has said he worked overseas for the Defense Department, but research turned up no information on which agency, where he was assigned or what duties he had.

Gee, do ya think Renzi might have been/might be a spook?
