Wingnuts

Bob McDonnell Does the Right Thing

The wingnut governor of Virginia is actually blocking this:

A state lawmaker from Virginia is so upset about the Congress repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell that he wants to institute a mini-DADT banning gay men and lesbians from the Virginia National Guard.

"It's a distraction when I'm on the battlefield and have to concentrate on the enemy 600 yards away and I'm worried about this guy whose got eyes on me," the lawmaker, Delegate Bob Marshall (R), told WUSA9. "If I needed a blood transfusion and the guy next to me had committed sodomy 14 times in the last month I'd be worried."

When I first read this, I automatically assumed McDonnell was supporting Marshall's ridiculousness. But, okay. Good job, governor, for doing the right thing.
