Awkward!

Weepy McDrunky got to swear in two new gay members of congress with their same-sex spouses holding the Bible… after he inserted the funding for supporting the litigation of DOMA into the house rules for this congress.

    When he went home, he got really orange that night!

    Dumbo probably thought they were brothers or something. Since it wasn’t a thing he had to think about(an assumption? Yes.) he probably was already drunk.

    That doesn’t look like a Bible in the second picture. More like a spelling workbook.

    Maybe it’s a bible app on an iPad…

    I’m guessing Orangino doesn’t give a damn about sexual preferences. That DOMA crap is for his fetus fondling God botherers.

    Orangino keeping his speakership amazed me. I expected us to be bitching about Speaker Cantor.

    Just more evidence that these fuzzy little shitheads only really care about money and power. On the other hand it will look great in a negative ad if the Kochs decide to primary his ass.

    Weepy kept his job because no one else wanted it…

    BruceJ is right. That said, Cantor probably wanted it, but I bet the GOP isn’t that stupid. Cantor is ambitious is a reall dangerous way. Boner is useful. That said, I like that the gay congressman with the hunky and much younger boyfriend opted out of using the bible. About time.

    Swearing oath of office on not-a-Bible is fine, even preferable, with me. Actually, why not a copy of the Constitution? I could go on about the socially required sucking-up to an unsupportable mythology but that would be pointless. Right?

    Techie -

    I think that Wingnuttia has proven time and again that swearing on a Bible is not the same thing a leading a holy life. I agree that it would be more meaningful to swear on the Constitution; that’s a great idea.

    Does he cry at swearings-in?
