FMA Defeated

I'm late with this, but you know, I'm hungry.

The Senate failed to gather nearly enough votes for the Federal Marriage Amendment. They didn't even get a majority, let alone the 60 needed to even bring the matter to a vote, at which point they would have needed 67 to send it to the states.

The sad and infuriating part of this is that they all knew -- everyone in Washington knew -- damn well that this thing never had any chance of passing. It was completely political and a complete waste of Congress' time. They debated it just to divide the country, knowing that it would never come to anything as a law.

Meanwhile, The Times reports that George Bush has been "finessing" his positiong on the issue.

But don't worry, George Bush is still decisive. He doesn't flip-flop like John Kerry, after all -- he "finesses." He also "modulates his message," and "hedges his position."
