J.D. Hayworth Fervently Stands Against Human-Equine Intercourse
Ex-Arizona representative J.D. Hayworth didn't do himself any favors by associating with lobbyist Jack Abramoff, which perhaps led to losing his seat in Congress in 2006. How exactly do you get back into the spotlight? Challenging Senator John McCain for his seat is one idea. Another gambit: talk about men marrying their horses.
Hayworth did an interview with WORL in Orlando, but the line that has jarred the funny bone of the blogosphere is his assertion of what will happen if gay marriage becomes legal everywhere:
You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage - now get this - it defined marriage as simply, "the establishment of intimacy." ... I guess that would mean if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse.
And why would you want to stand in the way of that man's happiness, sir? It's not like you have to watch.
But before we go off the rail and delve into the whole bestiality discussion, Salon.com's Alex Koppelman did not find that phrase in the Massachusetts' law. It may be another example of a politician lazily and ignorantly basing an argument on something he heard informally.
Besides, the real concern is men marrying their fembots. Campaign against that, Mr. Hayworth, and you have my vote.
