GAYS ALLOWED TO MARRY EACH OTHER IN NEW HEATHEN STATE: Put on your birthday suit, Joe Lieberman, because now you can finally get gay-married to your longtime sexpot, Lindsey Graham! Although he’d have to move to Connecticut! Because that’s where the state Supreme Court today decided that the Gays could get married, just like real humans. Ned Lamont: “This is our Katrina.” [NYT]

By tomorrow we will marrying pieces of fruit and household pets.

Good. Most guys can’t afford women in this economy anyway.

Lazy Media October 10, 2008 at 2:06 pm

Hot diggety! As a necropheliac-bestiality-loving-American, I have been on tenterhooks waiting for teh gheys to get theirs, so’s I can gets mine.

I plan to marry my dead cat as soon as the oppression against my orientation is ended. Lift every voice and sing…

Is that a picture of Mr. Bill’s son and his gay lover?

…why does the Connecticut Supreme Court hate the “traditional family”?!

I’m marrying my toaster. It is hell of a lot more useful and interesting than many of the men I’ve dated. Yay for warm bread!

Well Lieberman is a switch-hitter, after all. I wish him and Lindsey “the Clay Aiken of the Senate” Graham all the best in their new life together.

Unfortunately none of the Wall Street gays in Connecticut can afford the marriage license fee anymore.

Remember when Gay Marriage was the biggest fear of the GOP?
Ah, good times… good times.

That sound you’re hearing? Gnashing of GOP teeth.

TGY October 10, 2008 at 2:20 pm

[re=129598]TJBeck[/re]: Which is a good idea, ’cause they’re very low financial maintenance compared to an actual person. Come to think of it, marrying one’s hand is the cheapest.

I’ll be damned if Proposition 8 passes and fucking Connecticut upstages California as a liberal sodomite haven. That’s OUR claim to fame, fuckers.

No wonder Graham and Lieberman have been so close….

JamesMichaelCurley October 10, 2008 at 2:32 pm

These guys aren’t even trying any more.

John McCain announced a new proposal to suspend rules for selling off IRAs and 401k’s today, as people may be forced to work longer even as the value of their retirement accounts have been decimated in recent days.

“We must also protect investors – especially those relying on their investments for retirement,” McCain said. “Current rules mandate that investors must begin to sell off their IRAs and 401ks when they reach age 70 and a half. To spare investors from being forced to sell their stocks at just the time when the market is hurting the most, those rules should be suspended.”

The campaign added that the current law is making seniors “sell their retirement assets at substantial loss,” arguing that the government shouldn’t make workers sell their holdings while the stock market is still turbulent.

I always thought that Connecticut built Interstate 95 so that the jews and catholics could keep driving through as fast as possible. Now the wasps have to share their world with the gay people. ha ha. 47 more states to go.

OK Team Wonkette, now is time for phase 2 of the “Joe Lieberman is a virgin” gameplan, spread out to the AOL rooms and proclaim that the gay marriage law will cause him to marry Lindsay Graham and for the first time ever have sex!

[re=129602]Sussemilch[/re]: True. I had to trade my wife in for a 19 year old male whore. Besides the herpetic sores I’ve been surprisingly pleased with the bargain.

Fear of a Black Reagan October 10, 2008 at 2:46 pm

[re=129641]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Yes, welcome to the 21st century, Connecticut. Now the polar ice caps melt and you sink into the ocean. The rest of the country is much happier.

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 10, 2008 at 2:51 pm

It was only a matter of time. After all, living in Hartford is not unlike being assraped by a rabid lemur. Repeatedly, and with great fervor.

CrabtreesBludgeon October 10, 2008 at 2:52 pm

[re=129663]NoWireHangers[/re]: Oh shit, you’re right! THAT would bring unbearable shame to this great golden gay state. To whom do I address my No on 8 funds again?

NoWireHangers October 10, 2008 at 2:53 pm

[re=129668]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Maybe the Mormons would back gay marriage if it was between 1 men and 20 boys?

[re=129668]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: OMG it’s really scary. I spent all of Weds arguing with people on Patt Morrison’s blog (http://www.facebook.com/share_redirect.php?h=8935c567fd110330a662fe6f0c3f3cd9&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.publicradio.org%2Fcolumns%2Fkpcc%2Fpattmorrisonblog%2F2008%2F10%2Fpatt-morrison-for-wednesday-oc-1.html&sid=48170075968) and honestly the stuff people come up with–we can’t let gays marry because it will lead to child abuse, or we can’t let gays marry because it makes baby jesus cry.

And why is it legal for out-of-state Mormons/Morans to donate moniez?

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 10, 2008 at 3:37 pm

[re=129808]Doglessliberal[/re]: And Wallace Stevens’ house too. I even took the “literary walking trail” tour. Scintillating. Of course, this was in February, when everything was covered in nine feet of gray slush and muck. I was never so happy to get back to the South.

AnnieGetYourFun October 10, 2008 at 3:48 pm

The comparison to Katrina is apt. After all, one was a category 5 storm that destroyed a city and left a total of over 1,800 people dead. The other is a policy that allows two adults in love to share their lives together in the same manner that… hm. Wait, maybe not so much on the comparison?

Miller October 10, 2008 at 3:50 pm

So can we retroactively use this to blame gays for the economic crisis or not? Did God pre-curse us?

[re=129688]Totowa[/re]: What the hell state are you talking about? In my medium-sized Connecticut town, it’s nothing but eye-talian and Irish catholics slowly being replaced by Puerto Rican Catholics. And the surrounding towns are just full of wiccan covens. Of course none of us can afford property on the shoreline, so it’s not that relevant to I-95.
Anyway, keep driving, don’t get off the highway, and get your geography from TV.

We don’t just have Mark Twain and gays! We also have Eli Whitney!!!!

You know, creator of the cotton gin?

Yeah. I know. You’re jealous.

Would it be very Michelle Obama-like of me to say that, for the first time in my life, I am proud of my home state?

[re=129688]Totowa[/re]: [re=129879]ProfessorJukes[/re]: I’d just like to echo Professor Jukes. Out of certain areas in Fairfield County, we’re a very Catholic and Jewish state. By the way, those certain areas of Fairfield County are where I grew up. They actually bussed people from Bridgeport to our school to give us some diversity.

Baldeagle79 October 12, 2008 at 5:49 pm

What is it about the liberal philosophy that precludes it from being a ‘good’ winner? I’m never surprised to see how a liberal victory is celebrated with more meaningless anti-Conservative rhetoric, like I see here on Wonkette. You must resort to calling Lieberman and Graham gay lovers? Seriously? http://www.offeringcommonsense.blogspot.com
