From John Cole, via Andrew Sullivan, two questions we'd like asked of all Republicans running for president:
• Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack?
• If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time and abort Bin Laden?
On a related note, I saw this comment from The Exterminator over at John's place:
Wouldn't it be great if they discovered that the alleged gayness-gene and the so-called god-gene were mutually dependent …?
I have no idea where that title came from. There is precisely one Google result returned for this exact phrase. Maybe reincarnation is true?

I think your title is a misquotation of the last line in "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," which ought to be the campaign song of Republicans. "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily," Most of them would rather deal with so-called "values" issues than demonstrate any real values of their own.
T. Ex.:
That's a good explanation, but I don't think that was it. As I remember sub-vocalizing the line when I typed it, it had a different cadence. It keeps feeling like I heard it in some movie, or maybe someone reading a poem.
Excellent questions.
Clare:
Yes, they are, aren't they? At first glance, they seem like pure snark. But there is a world of truth to be revealed by asking them.
I propose a "blending" of the two questions:
If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time, take the place of Bin Laden's mother, and have sex with Bin Laden's father in order to avoid a future terrorist attack?
Think about it...
Kyklops:
Nice!
