TOO DUMB FOR PRIME TIME
Update: The Richardson campaign released a 'clarification' after the debate and Richardson himself will be on the Signoreli show to explain. They know he blew it.
Well, there goes my support of Bill Richardson.
In last night's Democratic debate on gay issues:
Perhaps the most surprising moment of the night came when Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, causing a visible stir in the audience, replied to a questions about whether he believed being gay was a biological fact or a personal choice.“It’s a choice,” Mr. Richardson said, a view that is contrary to the position of many gay rights advocates. He added, “I don’t like to answer definitions like that that are perhaps grounded in science or something else that I don’t understand"...........from today's NYT
I had heard rumblings that Bill R was not quite up to snuff on his gay politics.
This is the proof of the pudding. And in front of a progressive gay audience.
He doesn't even know enough to shade the position.
I am not a one issue guy except on this one issue.
They are all equivocators and afraid of the issues like gay marriage.
But this is cro-magnon.
