A Uniter Not A Divider

This week, President Bush devoted his weekly radio address to his support of a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. (The numerical adjectives are important and the White House is already girding its loins for an assault by bigamists).) Given, the situation in Iraq, signs that the economy is becoming even more sluggish (yesterday the DOL announced that, contrary to its estimates, in the last three months, the US has not produced enough jobs to break even), many questioned whether this was an odd topic to focus upon. Caught on the way to his Crawford ranch, the President defended his choice of topics. "Once again I have been misunderestimated. Look at it this way. Midterms in November. Debate on fags starts now. Goes through November. Midterms are about gay people not me or war. Better yet, Amendment gets by House and Senate. Goes to states. Debate goes on for years. Next election is not about war or prosperity but about whether Adam & Steve are automatically beneficiaries of each others social security. Where is all your Iraq crap and economy astronomy now?" The President then boarded Air Force One looking self satisfied as always.
