BUSH AND "INCLUSION":

The Washington Post nails it. The president's rhetoric simply doesn't match his own reality.

(when did it ever?)

On April 9, for good measure, the president nominated Bill Pryor, Alabama attorney general, to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

Pryor is a strong defender of anti-sodomy laws, wrote an amicus brief defending the Texas law for the Supreme Court, fought for the discriminatory Colorado law that was struck down by the Supreme Court in Romer vs Evans, and has associated homosexual relationships with "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia (if the child should credibly claim to be 'willing)."

Does president Bush believe that Pryor is "an inclusive man?" Or will he and his defenders keep saying they don't even have to answer that question?

REALITY CHECK: "One of your letter writers asked, 'Do any of the other three states with sodomy laws impose jail time?' In 1999, the state of Oklahoma raised the prison term for consensual sex by gay couples from 10 years to 20 years. A felony, consensual sex between two adult men or between two adult women in Oklahoma carries the same penalty as same-sex rape." Just more "inclusiveness" out there (NT) -- Markus, 08:23:42 04/30/03 Wed
