Governor David Paterson is pissed that Iowa and Vermont look more progressive than New York, so he is fixin’ to change that by introducing an exciting and controversial gay marriage bill to the surprisingly conservative New York State Assembly. It is much like the exciting and controversial gay marriage bill that Governor Eliot Spitzer introduced a year before he had to leave office for having adulterous heterosexual sex with a female hooker. What incipient scandal awaits Governor Paterson? [City Room Blog]

Bless his heart.
“Fill that vacuum” indeed, Governor Paterson.
Gov Love is blind.
Win for Princess Bride alt-text!
Can someone please remind me what movie that picture is from before I tear my brains out? Thank you.
THE HOMERSEXUL AGENDA IS UPON US!! STOCK UP ON GUNS AND TEABAGS WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
So Michelle is a dead-ringer for Sheila E, but the Prince I know would never wear a white fucking bow tie.

Just for the record – the Assembly is liberal. The bill always passes the assembly. It’s the Senate that bottles the bill up. The Dems are in the majority now, but there are three or four Dems that don’t vote for the bill.
(Mr. Bloomberg paused the news conference for more than a minute after an electronic device went off, prompting the mayor to glare at the offender and begin his remarks again.)
Cheap Radio-Shack Gaydar.

so all that teabagging did make a difference after all…well played, closeted wingnuts!
Oh god you can just imagine the upstaters lockin’ and loadin’ over this. If you thought the teabagging protests were bad, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Those people are insane. INSANE I tell you.
[re=291653]Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish![/re]: There went my left hemisphere.
Iowa was the last straw. There is a straight line between the fall of the Bastille and gay marriage in dungarees.
Ever since Paterson took office, my eyesight has deteriorated. First he makes us all blind, now he’s out to make us all gay. This is unconscionable.
I have a dream that one day, in the halls of power, it will be the gay politicians that step out on their husbands and wives instead of just closeted, “straight” Republicans and Televangelists;
I have a dream that one day my husband and I will be able to have an acrimonious divorce where we fight over custody of the dogs and the house and the power tools, enriching only our lawyers;
I have a dream that one day I will be able to whine and complain about the marriage tax penalty while wearing a silly hat made from Lipton teabags;
I have a dream…
[re=291661]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: There is some hope. I teach high school in Central NY and while the parents are yahoos, I’d say about 99% of my students are absolutely bewildered by the opposition to gay marriage. I just don’t read the Readers’ Page in the paper. The ignorance is positively soul-crushing.
[re=291681]SayItWithWookies[/re]: there’s nothing straight about that line… (HAAAY!)
heeeey abbbaaaat!
