Obama to approve benefits for same-sex partners of federal employees.

He's still waffling on the other related issues, but it's a step in the right direction.

I don't know why they bother, but CNN did a poll among Republicans on who the frontrunners are for the 2012 GOP nomination.

Could they possibly have come up with a more retarded threesome: Huckabee, Palin and Romney?

I don't think any of them will be the actual candidate, but this shows the GOP members' thinking.
At least they didn't have that demented jocky from florida (aka Bobby Jindal). That guy is just plain creepy (and apparently retarded)

He's actually from Lose-y-anna, but well done on 'jockey.'

Also, we should always fumigate his first name with quotes "Bobby" since his first name is really Piyush, which is Hindi for 'bicycle-seat-sniffer.'

i thought jindal was from louisiana?

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Yes but it's pronounced 'Lose-y-anna'

So SC governor Mark Sanford went a bit cuckoo-bananas this week.

Too bad because he was believed to be competition for "Bobby" Jindal and "Barbi" Palin in 2012.

He just said some goo-goo ga-ga shit about God and faith at his press conference.

Is this some sort of competition in the GOP on who can torpedo their own career the quickest?

Here's a much-used Faux News trick. What's wrong with this picture?

I love how they always apologize, and appear contrite, only after they're caught. If someone had not noticed him at Atlanta airport, or that his car was parked at an airport in SC, the hiking story would have stood.

you want them to be contrite before they are caught? That would be weird.

Just once, I would like to see a politician come clean about his missteps, before he is actually caught. His guilty conscience gets to him, and he confesses.

That's an apology I could accept.
