We’re Trying to Fit a “I Love My Dead, Gay Son” Joke In Here, but We Can’t Quite Manage It

image-inhofe.gifIf you’re not watching the Senate Gay Marriage debate, this is what you’re missing (This was illustrated, by the way, with a giant prop picture of his big-ass family):

{14:24:36} (MR. INHOFE) { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT } AS YOU SEE HERE, AND I THINK THIS IS MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT PROP WE’LL HAVE DURING THE ENTIRE DEBATE, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED 47 YEARS. WE HAVE 20 KIDS AND GRANDKIDS. I’M REALLY PROUD TO SAY THAT IN THE RECORDED HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY, WE’VE NEVER HAD A DIVORCE OR ANY KIND OF A HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE I’M THE WRONG ONE TO THE DOING THIS — TO BE DOING THIS SINCE I COME WITH SUCH A STRONG PREJUDICE FOR STRONG FAMILIES.

All right, Senator Inhofe. We believe you. Calm down. Someone better watch C-Span to let us know when they start bragging about the lack of recorded miscegenation in their official family trees.

Bonus points for owning up to “strong predjudice!”
