marriage is a "sacred" relationship - "like I had, before I got divorced."

[Viking12]

From the "you can't make this shit up" file:

(Tampa, Florida) In a week's time Florida voters will be electing a new governor to replace Jeb Bush (R) and with polls showing Republican Charlie Crist strongly head of Democrat Jim Davis all eyes were on the final debate between the two and independent candidate Max Linn.

If viewers were expecting any great surprises they were disappointed. The only one was the appearance of Linn who wasn't supposed to participate. Linn won a court order 20 minutes before air time to be included.

All three candidates oppose same-sex marriage but all three would support civil unions.

Crist, (pictured) who currently is Attorney General and who has dogged suggestions throughout the campaign that he is gay, had one of the more unusual reasons for opposing same-sex marriage, saying marriage is a "sacred" relationship - "like I had, before I got divorced."

1. Bwaa!

You have to laugh, or your head would explode.

When I saw the subject line, I thought you were just throwing out there something a co-worker or someone had said. Not, uh, the gubernatorial candidate.

You're supposed to at least PRETEND that marriage has some sanctity!

Ah, the GOP. Always good for a laugh.

Some of the republicans I know seem to treat marriage like the adult version of 'going steady".

6. It's okay if Crist wins. He'll probably be indicted or forced to resign anyway.

Then again, he'll just be replaced by his Lt. Governor, who probably hasn't granted political favors in exchange for gay sex.
