From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…
Wednesday Margaret and Helen Blogging
When last we checked in with the blogosphere’s feistiest pair of lefty octogenarians, they were calling out the Republican candidate in the Texas governor’s race for getting a $10 million settlement after he sued the owner of an oak tree that fell on him, but then turned around and used his official positions to deny the same legal recourse to other Texans in similar situations. The hypocrisy is so thick it prompted a tough new ad from the Wendy Davis campaign.
Now Margaret and Helen are calling out Abbott again…for his ridiculous assertion about the looming catastrophe of gay marriage coming soon to the Lone Star State:
12-inch pie cannons.
Yesterday, Abbott argued that the state’s ban on same sex marriage would reduce the number of babies born out of wedlock. Evidently, heterosexuals won’t have unprotected sex as long as Ellen and Portia can’t file jointly in Texas on the off chance they move here. Thank goodness because I had given up on the idea that heterosexuals would ever get on the condom band wagon. Bless his heart. Abbott can’t help being stupid, but he could have stayed home.
You know, my generation remained pretty quiet on the subject of homosexuality—mainly because we didn’t talk about such things. … So why am I speaking up now? Well, I found out a few years ago that Margaret has a gay nephew and more recently that I have a gay grandson. So maybe it’s time I stopped letting social etiquette stand in the way of civil rights.
Mr. Abbott, you are a hate filled idiot who is about as useful as a milk bucket under a bull. … And for the record, if you have an issue with gay marriage, don’t get married to a gay person.
And if you don’t want another idiot as Governor of Texas, don’t vote for Greg Abbott. Vote for Wendy Davis. She knows where babies come from. I mean it. Really.
Read the whole thing here. And be thankful their battleship is on our side.
Cheers and Jeers starts below the fold… [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
