Quote of the Day
Why is he [Bush] attempting to demean the country's most important document by smearing it with an official sanction of discrimination?
Out of respect for the president and his office, we suggest that he is a bigot.
The alternative would be to suggest that he is a political cynic who continues to push an amendment to the Constitution that will never be enacted - in part because key senators from his own party oppose the amendment - in order to gain political advantage.
If he is a cynic, then he is also a fool. Trying to whip up anti-gay bigotry in Wisconsin, which more than two decades ago was the first state to enact significant gay rights legislation, is politically inane.
