File this one under "Thanks for nothing, Shrub." That would be the really bulging file I keep on my desk. So what's the issue?
This week Huffington Post blogger Ryan Grim reported that a new book coming out about President George Bush includes the fact that Bush declined to denounce same-sex marriage in his commencement speech at Furman University in 2008 because he wasn't "...going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can't get married."
No, he was just going to get elected by demonizing the gay kid, and every other 'mo in the country, by allowing henchman Karl Rove to orchestrate two of the most anti-gay presidential campaigns ever run in the U.S. Two campaigns the fueled a wave of constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage across America.
But, hey, Bush wouldn't actually deliver the bad news to the gay college kid himself because he's such a stand up guy.
