Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best Message to the Middle East

Rep. Gingrey’s marriage diplomacy

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #408: Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA)

Representative Phil Gingrey [R-Ga.], said support for traditional marriage “is perhaps the best message we can give to the Middle East and all the trouble they’re having over there right now.”

Wow. Every now and again, I run across something so astoundingly stupid, so thoroughly clueless, and so completely and utterly inappropriate and insensitive that I’m actually offended (and it takes a lot to offend me). To think that an elected Congressman can actually state in all seriousness and with a straight face that traditional marriage is the strongest message we can send to people suffering the privations and heartaches of war is unbelievable? How thoroughly clueless must one be in order to think like this? How insensitive and arrogant must a Republican be to actually think that anything about “traditional marriage” could possibly be of ANY comfort at all to people suffering and dying in Lebanon and Israel?

So what’s next for Gingrey and his Jesus-loves-me-this-I-know diplomacy? How about school prayer to cure AIDS? Banning abortion to end the war against Christianity? Mandatory church attendance to win the war on terror? Bible study to cure cancer? Lord, save us from your followers….
