Distraction part Duh...

Andrew Sullivan says it best here (http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/06/roves_diminishi.html).

I was over at my girl's place this weekend, and it just so happens that they had a gay pride parade about a block away. During this event I didn't see any married people breaking up, nor did I notice any hetros, including myself, spontaneously erupt gay. What I did see was grown men, singing, dancing, and enjoying their life, and onlookers benefiting from their happiness. Bush and co.'s sad attempt at resurrecting a Federal Marriage Amendment is about the basest form of distraction known to man, and their feeble attempt at kicking this dead horse is only matched by public apathy. What needs to be thought of right now is a word that worse than quagmire, because that is what Iraq has descended into. In the last month there have been over 650 sectarian attacks, the most since our mission was 'accomplished,' we have an investigation going on about massacres, and Iraq's own PM, who we helped install, is now saying that we are the prime cause of their problems. Time is running out and the midterm elections can't get here fast enough.
