Bush Panders to Bigots

Interview: Bush supports gay marriage ban
Remember the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment, the idiotic measure which would essentially bar gay marriage or civil unions from the United Sates forever (and which was so thoroughly skewered by our own BRILLIANT Tom X)? Bush came out in favor of a constituinal amdendment to prevent gay marriage (sounds a lot like the FMA to me) in a recent interview with Daine Sawyer on ABC. After the Massachuesetes ruling, I gave him some credit for not going overboard with the anti-gay marraige nonsense, unlike Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (who also supports the FMA), but now he deserves nothing. Bush support of a constitutional amdendment against gay marriage isn't that suprising (he needs to do something to win the votes of the religious right), but it is still disgusting.
