VERBATIM

Thursday, June 8, 2006; Page A21

During yesterday's Senate debate on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.) stood by a large portrait of his family and offered the following:

"As you see here, and I think this is maybe the most important prop we'll have during the entire debate, my wife and I have been married 47 years. We have 20 kids and grandkids. I'm really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we've never had a divorce or any kind of homosexual relationship."

"...we've never had a divorce or any kind of a homosexual relationship."

That doesn't rule out adultery or any other number of other sins. Also, a person doesn't need to have a homosexual relationship to be a homosexual. The proverbial "gay test drive" is really not necessary.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

He sounds like an minor character from "Deliverance".

You know how sometimes you're afraid to speak out in public cause you're afraid you might say something stupid? Some guys don't have that fear of sounding stupid.

I'm sure his family never had any Jews, Catholics, or brown/black people in it either. Racial purity for the master race.
