“The temptation to allow one’s brain to be inundated by election returns was just too strong. Why not watch every channel at once? On MSNBC, the talent was determined to salve the wounds of Democratic losses with the antibiotic of facts and figures. Usually one to salt-sprinkle, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show was having one of those all-too-familiar-now exchanges with Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, the kind of argument you have with an obstinate uncle.”

“I never thought he was going to leave us in such a way,”

“Is that normal? Would you do it? Would you take your children to a gay pride parade?…I don’t think it’s proper for them to go there and watch a couple of grown men grind against each other. I don’t think that’s proper. I think it’s disgusting…No, I don’t regret the remarks,”

“There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual…That’s not how god created us, and that’s not the example that we should be showing our children…And I don’t want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option…It isn’t.”
