Andrew Sullivan fisks George Miserable Failure Bush and his weekly radio address on the Federal Marriage Amendment. As Sullivan notes, Bush " backs one that would make unenforceable all 'the legal incidents' of civil marriage for gay couples--that is, civil unions and domestic partnerships. An amendment simply stating that heterosexuals alone can get married has been rejected by Bush and his allies, in favor of a far more sweeping attack on the basic protections of gay people across the country."
