Miscellaneous

Johnny McCain likes the gays. Totally.

McCain was on Ellen Degeneres' show yesterday to tell her to her face that he doesn't dig the idea that she's planning to marry her girlfriend Portia di Rossi. While he's previously said he's also against civil unions, however, he couldn't resist the chance to pander at least a little bit and throw Ellen a bone (not that she's into that -- that's the whole point!):

Well, my thoughts are that I think people should be able to enter into legal agreements, and I think that is something that we should encourage, particularly in the case of insurance and other areas, decisions that have to be made. I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman.

Whatever.

Meanwhile, Chuck Hagel thinks McCain is saying some stupid shit. Personally, I think "I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman" is a great example of saying some stupid shit.
