What do you think about Elisabeth's analogy comparing civil unions vs. marriage to women not wanting to be called men?

Political stuff starts at about 3:35

Upon further thought, I wonder if she also thinks it makes sense to have a separate name for people of different races who marry. Or people of different economic classes. Or people of different religions. Let's have marriage for straight, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Aryan Christians...and different names for everyone else. You know, all the little peons and peasants.

Dammit Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an utter idiot

I think you mean, "Portia de Rossi pwns Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the View before going home to fuck Ellen senseless."

Hm. I'm gayer than Christmas at Cher's house but I wouldn't mind being a fly on that wall.

I always imagine their foreplay as Ellen dancing all wacky in the bedroom for a few minutes before Portia rolls her eyes impatiently and shoves her on the bed and starts ripping her pants off.

Gavin Newsom, one of my political boyfriends, said it best when he said (at a Poli Sci lecture at Berkeley, a month before the election in 2008): "I don't wanna lower the bar for anybody, I wanna raise the bar. All these politicians saying civil unions is the same thing, just get over it, I don't see them getting rid of their marriage license and calling it a civil union. And "hey honey, would you civil union me?" What the heck is that? It's already marriage right now!"
