Wall Street Journal opinion editor Dan Henninger went on Fox News this week to do, well, what else than spew illogical nonsense about gay marriage. Since we dont willingly tune into hate speech unless we're assessing Shepard Smith's glow, it took Stephen Colbert to bring our attention to it. Henninger argues, based on a woman in India marrying a snake, that when it comes to gay marriage, there's no guaranteeing letting same-sex couples wed won't result in Americans marrying their pets.

This is a footnote to our gay marriage discussion: A woman in India last week married a snake. I would like to ask the proponents of gay marriage–which violates, after all, traditions going back through all of human history–to now absolutely, positively guarantee that the next movement is not going to be allowing people to marry their pet horse, dog or cat. And you know What? Given the "anything goes" culture we live in, I don't think they can deliver that guarantee.

Even if he didn't get that many laughs at the White House Correspondents dinner, Stephen Colbert definitely gets our props for the absolutely scathing comedy speech he managed to get through without being wrestled to the ground by secret service agents. We have always loved ancient White House Correspondent Helen Thomas, and found her cameo in Colbert's video hilarious, but President Bush was not amused by any of Colbert's material and was visibly frowning through most of the speech, perhaps because he was the butt of almost every single joke.

Our friends at The Big Gay Picture also found a great clip of Colbert interviewing Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) where he almost gets the Congressman to say he doesn't think gays should have drivers licenses.
