SAN FRANCISCO — Elizabeth Edwards, starring at the kickoff event of San Francisco’s signature Gay Pride Parade, came out in support of legalized gay marriage today — taking a position which she acknowledged is at odds with her husband, presidential candidate John Edwards.”I don’t know why somebody else’s marriage has anything to do with me,” she said. “I’m completely comfortable with gay marriage.”
A few comments here:
First — what the hell does “starring at the kickoff event” even mean?
Second — “I’m comfortable with gay marriage,” says the woman married to a man that is at least as effeminate as she is. I’m not saying the little Silk Pony is Elizabeth’s lesbian life partner, just that it must be nice to be able to share the same hair products.
Third — I don’t believe for a moment that her position is “at odds with her husband”. The Breck Girl is just too cowardly to admit it publicly because of the potential political backlash.
And one other note from the article:
All Democratic candidate support the overturn of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, while none of the Republican presidential candidate said they would support such a change.
Says the group of candidates that includes exactly zero people who have ever served in the U.S. Military themselves.

In related news, Sen. John McCain has started dropping campaign staff as Republican consultants predict he’ll be gone from the race by September (how’d you like that segue?).
John Edwards has as much chance of being our next President as John McCain. Which is to say zilch.
I hate to be the one to break it to them — but you’re both already out of the race. There’s really no reason to wait until September.
Mr. McCain should get back to Washington D.C. and take part in at least one or two votes, or at least sit in on a Senate session or two. It is what his constituents elected him to do.
And Mr. Edwards could spend some of those saved campaign dollars helping the needy from the “other America” he’s always preaching about.
I say let’s take this to the limit. No more separate men’s or lady’s rooms in the senate/house bathrooms. I mean if sexual orientation doesn’t matter, why worry if the person next to you has a penis or not??
