Idiots of the Day - Senators Inhofe, Vitter, and Hatch
This afternoon on the Senate floor, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) stood before a large photograph of his family and shared this important fact: “I’m really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we’ve never had a divorce or any kind of homosexual relationship.”
Along the way to the vote, (Louisiana!) Republican Sen. David Vitter defended the GOP’s efforts on the election-year measure by saying: “I don’t believe there’s any issue that’s more important than this one.” <--- not fixing things after Katrina?
“The Republican leadership is asking us to spend time writing bigotry into the Constitution,” said Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, which legalized gay marriage in 2003. “A vote for it is a vote against civil unions, against domestic partnership, against all other efforts for states to treat gays and lesbians fairly under the law.”
In response, Hatch fumed: “Does he really want to suggest that over half of the United States Senate is a crew of bigots?” <--- psst, yes.
