Frist Gets Punked - Again

Oh, he's a tough talking man - a real man's man. Shrieking “marriage is under attack” Sen. Bill Frist is going all out in his efforts to defend against the evil efforts of judges that care nothing about the rights of men and women to marry. Why, this is obviously the work of Satan and Senator Bill is going to push the darkness back into the dark, dank realm from whence it came.

....Frist said he would defend the amendment even to Dick Cheney. "I basically say, Mr. Vice President, right now marriage is under attack in this country," Frist said on CNN. "And we've seen activist judges overturning state by state law, where state legislatures have passed laws defining marriage between a man and a woman, and that's being overturned by a handful of activist judges around the country. And that is why we need an amendment to come to the floor of the United States Senate to define marriage as that union between one man and one woman."

Well, little Billie just doesn't seem capable of learning. Most people would step back and re-evaluate their positions after creating fiascoes like Frist has in the past few months. No, our defender Bill is about to get his butt kicked again – by First Lady Laura Bush. She agrees with most sane people that little Billie's idea is wrong:

Asked Sunday about reports that White House political adviser Karl Rove and other Republicans want to use the issue to mobilize conservatives for the midterm election, she said she hoped "no one would think about trying to amend the Constitution as a political strategy."

"I certainly don't know what conversations have gone on between Karl and anybody up on the Hill," she said on Fox. "But you know, what I can say is look, amending the Constitution with this amendment, this piece of legislation, is a bad piece of legislation. It is writing discrimination into the Constitution, and, as I say, it is fundamentally wrong."

This will be great entertainment, seeing big tough Bill get smacked around by Laura.
