One time before it was John Danforth of Missouri. This time it's Alan Simpson of Wyoming.

"Who the hell is for abortion?," asked Simpson, who has developed a reputation for making blunt and colorful remarks. "I don't know anybody running around with a sign that says, have an abortion, they're wonderful. They're hideous. But they're a deeply intimate and personal decision, and I don't think men legislators should even vote on the issue."

Simpson went on to address the issue of gay rights. "Then you've got homosexuality," he said. "You've got 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' We have homophobes in our party. That's disgusting to me. We're all human beings. We're all God's children. ... [Former Pennsylvania senator Rick] Santorum has said some cruel things, cruel, cruel things about homosexuals. Ask him about it. See if he attributes the cruelness of his remarks years ago. Foul."

It is just sad that he will be passed over for some rabid fundie that froths at the mouth.

I'm reminded of Bill Maher's bit on Clinton saying he thought pot should be legal, and he was all "If only you'd been in a position to do something about it....."
