- A MySpace Moment: "The Defense of Marriage Act"
by Mark Faulk Amongst all the pointless bulletins that float around MySpace like so much flotsam and jetsom, every so often one sails by that makes remarkable sense. I have come to call those fleeting bits of clarity "MySpace Moments." Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd pull one every now and then and post it here, and credit whoever sent it to me by their MySpace name (which doesn't necessarily mean they wrote it it, just that they forwarded it to their friends list...that's the beauty of MySpace, it really is), at least until the MySpace Gestapo decides to crush me like a bug. So here it is, sent to me by my good friend "Call me Beatrice," our first installment of "A MySpace Moment" entitled:
"The Defense of Marriage Act"
Ronald Reagan - divorced the mother of two of his children to marry Nancy Reagan, who bore him a daughter only 7 months after the marriage.
Bob Dole - divorced the mother of his child, who had nursed him through the long recovery from his war wounds.
Newt Gingrich - divorced his wife who was dying of cancer.
Dick Armey - House Majority Leader - divorced
Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas - divorced
Gov. John Engler of Michigan - divorced
Gov. Pete Wilson of California - divorced
George Will - divorced
Sen. Lauch Faircloth - divorced
Rush Limbaugh - Rush and his current wife Marta have six marriages and four divorces between them.
Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia - Barr, not yet 50 years old, has been married three times. Barr had the audacity to author and push the "Defense of Marriage Act." The current joke making the rounds on Capitol Hill is "Bob Barr...WHICH marriage are you defending?!?
Sen. Alfonse D'Amato of New York - divorced
Sen. John Warner of Virginia - divorced (once married to Liz Taylor.)
Gov. George Allen of Virginia - divorced
Henry Kissinger - divorced
Rep. Helen Chenoweth of Idaho - divorced
Sen. John McCain of Arizonia - divorced
Rep. John Kasich of Ohio - divorced
Rep. Susan Molinari of New York - Republican National Convention Keynote Speaker - divorced
So ... homosexuals are going to destroy the institution of marriage? Wait a minute, it seems the Christian Heterosexual Republicans are doing a fine job without anyone's help!
