LGBTQ Forum: Warren puts "old-fashioned" marriage takes on the rocks

[BeyondGeography]

Elizabeth Warren has a plan for responding to people who come up to her at rallies to say, “my faith teaches me that marriage is between one man and one woman.”

The question came from an audience member, channeling a phrase often invoked by marriage equality opponents who, as he put it, describe themselves as “old fashioned.”

“Well, I'm going to assume it's a guy who said that,” Warren deadpanned, “and I'm gonna say, ‘Then just marry one woman. I'm cool with that.”

Then she twisted the knife: “If you can find one."

5. He had a running (partly friendly) feud with Lady Astor, they love insulting each other...

She sent him two tickets to opening night of one of her plays, with the note, "bring a friend, if you have one." He sent a note back saying "Can't make it opening night, will be there for your second night, if you have one."

Another one that comes to mind is "If you were my husband I'd poison your tea", to which he answered "if I was your husband I'd drink it."

Some of their quotes have been "debunked" as not really being them, but they're still funny.
