Gay Marriages
June 6, 2006
Jay Leno had a wonderful line on his program last night. He was discussing the proposed anti-gay-marriage amendment to the Constitution, suggesting that there were probably many more critical issues that Congress could be addressing. Referring to opinion polls, he added: “51% of Americans are opposed to gay marriages. But 70% of Americans are opposed to George Bush. This means that gay marriage is more popular than George Bush!”
