"A witness stand is a lonely place to lie." David Boies, one of the lawyers arguing against Proposition 8, humiliates a 'religious right' creep on Face The Nation yesterday. (video)
Meanwhile the OTHER lawyer (the conservative one) arguing against Prop 8, Ted Olsen, was speaking slowly and clearly so that even the anchor on Fox News could understand it.
I really, really despise Tony Perkins. I don't use the word 'hate' towards people very often, but I think I just might use it at him. He is a despicable person -- made more despicable by the fact that he doesn't foam and froth at the mouth, so he's the go-to 'reasonable' talking head for all the anti-gay hatred out there. I'd like to wipe that self-righteous smirk off his face with a belt sander.
Perkins and his ilk apparently have not yet realized that not only were their arguments negated, but that their arguments were ruled irrelevant. I like how the Fox mouthpiece began by bemoaning that issues were taken from voters by attacking their constitutionality.
