Cowardice, Too, Makes Strange Bedfellows

Today's NY Times had a story about the vote to close debate on a proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. (The forces of intolerance were unable to attain the 60 votes needed to continue with this idiocy.)

The story finishes with a funny line. Think about how elected Republicans have been fleeing the state every time the president comes to visit, the past year or so, when you read it:

Not voting . . . [was] . . . one Republican, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who was accompanying Mr. Bush in Omaha earlier today.
