Why, if you weren't careful, you'd think Senator Brain Damage was against calling what sodomites do in the dark "marriage".

It seems they could not agree on who would do the dishes and who would clean the toilets.

Ha ha?

C'mon! Just a little laugh? May be a snicker or two?

AP: Feingold, Specter Clash Over Gay Marriage

But seriously, folks...

A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him "good riddance."

"I don't need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I," (Sadly, no truer words have ever been spoken by a US Senator. I like to call tidbits like this stalinian slips. You know, like when Howie Spleen got up in front of the DAR and said "We will bury you!" I doubt ol' Arlen had any idea what he said. Situation normal. - F.G.) Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., shouted after Sen. Russ Feingold declared his opposition to the amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and his intention to leave the meeting.

"If you want to leave, good riddance," Specter finished.

Heehee!

"I've enjoyed your lecture, too, Mr. Chairman," replied Feingold, D-Wis., who is considering a run for president in 2008. "See ya."

I've been thinking of calling ol' Russ "Senator Foolsgold" for months, but he's (culturally) Jewish, right? (Hmm...Come to think of it, so is Specter...) I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of being an "anti-semite" just because I can recognize a commie thug in democratic clothing when I smell one.

Amid increasing partisan tension over President Bush's judicial nominees and domestic wiretapping, (OH MY! - F.G.) the panel voted along party lines to send the constitutional amendment — which would prohibit states from recognizing same-sex marriages — to the full Senate, where it stands little chance of passing.

There's a big surprise.

Democrats complained that bringing up the amendment is a purely political move designed to appeal to the GOP's conservative base in this year of midterm elections. Under the domed ceiling of the ornate and historic President's Room off the Senate floor, senators voted 10-8 to send the measure forward.

Among Feingold's objections was Specter's decision to hold the vote in the President's Room, where access by the general public is restricted, instead of in the panel's usual home in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.

Specter later said he would have been willing to hold the session in the usual room had he thought doing so would change votes.

Not all those who voted "yes" support the amendment, however. Specter said he is "totally opposed" to it, but felt it deserved a debate in the Senate.

Thank heaven for small miracles.

"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman," reads the measure, which would require approval by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states.

"Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman," it says.

My oh my. How radical, evil, and discriminatory can you get? Those conservatives will surely rot in Hell for this one.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has scheduled a vote on the proposed amendment the week of June 5.

Call your Congressthings and Senatrixes, kiddies. Big Sodomy can have all the potatoes au gratin they want, but they can never be married.
