OK … this is funny. Maybe only in a DC, inside-the-Beltway funny, but still damn funny.

Wednesday, June 25, a bill was introduced on the floor of the Senate and then referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.  This bill, a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the US Constitution relating to marriage and called the “Marriage Protection Amendment,” would likely have all sorts of terrible consequences and do very bad things.  This isn’t a new bill; shit like this comes up all the time and usually doesn’t get very far (this isn’t the funny part).

Here’s the funny: Guess who is sponsoring this one?  Among the nine sponsors appear the names of one Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and one David Vitter (R-Louisiana).

Ha, ha.  Those Republicans are a hoot.  Getting a toe-tapping, bathroom-trolling, I’ve-got-a-wide-stance convicted closet case AND a diaper-wearing, prostitute-visiting, name-in-the-black-book-of-a-dead-madam adulterer is SUCH a good way to defend heterosexual marriage.

What’s next?  Ted Haggard making appearances in support of it?

Conservatives should be thanking their lucky stars that the gays even want to get married at all in the face of such shining, stellar examples of opposite-sex marriage.  Sheesh.
