Bush Continues His Race for Most Irrelevant President Ever

What's the most critical issue facing the Bush administration this weekend?

Iraq?
Iran?
North Korea?
The Economy?
Education?
Jobs?
Slowing Housing Market?

Fools! Of course not. It's the spector of gay (gasp!) marriage, of course. According to the WaPo, "The president intends to devote his weekly radio address today to the Marriage Protection Amendment and has invited supporters to the White House on Monday for another speech promoting it, according to aides and activist."

Surely our Congress realizes there are more pressing issues out there, do they not? Ok, well, maybe not. "Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) said he decided to call for a vote on the amendment because states that banned same-sex marriage in the last 18 months are under assault in the courts."

Do I hear the growing call of desparate politicians seeking the adoration of their psycho right wing?
