David S. Cohen has just found the worst-ever argument against Gay Marriage…and as he notes, there are plenty of contenders for that honor.
I sure get the sense that even the folks fighting Same Sex Wedlock these days don't have their hearts in it…or any expectation that they can turn things around. I think most of 'em are just aware that there are enough people out there mad about this that one can make a very nice living, and perhaps advance one's political aspirations, by being a prominent soldier in this losing battle. Max Bialystock stood to make a lot of money if he really did put on the worst play ever. Pat Buchanan did make a lot of money running repeatedly for president without ever coming close to carrying one state. Lost causes can be profitable, especially when you can stoke the flames and keep people angry enough about something.
