I Met My Hero Yesterday!!!

[Morrigoon]

Sorry, I can't take the man seriously. He sounded really good right up until the point he was talking about how horrible and unfair segregation was, but oh, marriage is different.

And despite my appreciation for the fantastic tale, and my happiness at your happiness, BDBopper ... I really would be happier (though the choice is not mine) if you would find yourself another Hero.

Huckabee appeared on The View yesterday. How a man that spouts such reprehensible opinion can be admired by you is beyond me.

BEHAR: Well, segregation was an institution, too, in a way. It was right there on the books.

HUCKABEE: But here is the difference. Bull Connor was hosing people down in the streets of Alabama. John Lewis got his skull cracked on the Selma bridge.

Heheh.


I repeat. What a great thing for you, BDBopper.

And I repeat: Your hero is an aszhole.

Nonetheless...

Congratulations BD on getting to meet your hero!
