I hope you saw this

Huckabee on the Stewart show, I mean. If not, then (via Pam's House Blend) here's a link that leads you both to another link to the video, and a transcript. Stewart spoke truth to power. It was awesome.

To quote one of my favorite parts:

you keep talking about, jeez, it would be redefining a word... and it feels like semantics is cold comfort, when it comes to humanity


ETA this from Think Progess:
Huckabee — like other conservatives who make similar claims — is wrong to suggest that American public opinion is on his side. A recent poll found that a full 75 percent of Americans favor either gay marriage or civil unions, with nearly 50 percent favoring gay marriage itself. More importantly, the next generation is much more open to gay rights: According to CNN exit polls, an overwhelming majority — 67 percent — of 18-29 year-olds voted against stripping gay couples of their right to marry in California.


And ETA, again, that there's more discussion at The Washington Monthly.
