Pin Head of the Week - Vincent Orange
This story is so ridiculous it's almost funny. Councilman Vincent Orange (D) is pinning his Don Quixote campaign for Mayor hopes to his opposition to same-sex marriage.
According to the Washington Blade,
Vincent Orange accused his four main rivals of being “morally unfit” to be the mayor of Washington, D.C., because of their support for same-sex marriage.
In an Aug. 5 interview with Channel 5 News, Orange, who represents Ward 5 on the D.C. Council, said he believed gay marriage would become an issue in the final weeks before the Sept. 12 Democratic primary.
“I’m the only one that is opposed to same-sex marriage,” he told Channel 5 reporter John Henrehan. “The other four, they say they believe in God, they go to church, but they’re also for same-sex marriage.”
“So I think coming down the stretch, that’s going to be an issue,” Orange said. “I don’t think they’re morally fit to run the city.”
What a freakin pinhead. It's good to see Vincent Orange pulling the old bigot out of the hat at the last minute routine. There is a reason Orange is at 5% in the polls - he sucks. Note to Mr. Orange, maybe you should try running for office in Alabama or Texas or some other God forsaken backwoods place where your bigoted message might resonate.

How pathetic - not just Republicans hide behind the Bible to justify their prejudices. I wonder if Reverend Orange would like to comment on the Bible's take on incest, polygamy, and slavery as well?
Even more ridiculous is citing a text based on the oral traditions of illiterate shepherds who have been dead for three thousand years as one's inspiration for moral guidance.
