How sanctified is THIS marriage? (Originally posted Feb. 28)

Thanks to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who turns out to be far bolder than one would have thought, we now have a face to put with the strange phobic reaction to gay relationships. We now see clearly that the marriage of Rosie O'Donnel and wife (formerly girlfriend) endangers the marriage of George W. and Laura Bush. One is impelled to ask - HOW? How does Ms. O'Donnel's relationship impact President Bush's at all? As for the President's assertion that "Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society", I am likewise motivated to comment on the quality of the President's ability to promote the welfare of HIS children, who seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in trouble with the law, for underage drinking, for possession of illegal drugs, for generally acting disgracefully in public. If Mr. Bush's children are an example of well-brought-up children, well then, I think marriage should be banned for hetero- as well as homo-sexuals.
