Kerr-age

At the Republican debacle, er, um, debate the other night, a retired gay general, Keith Kerr, stood up to press the candidates about the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. And the candidates flubbed, especially Mitt Romney, who told a general with 43 years of experience that gays and lesbians would be bad for the military.

Did you learn that during your time in the military? Right, right. You weren't in the armed services.

And the controversy that followed? That Kerr is affiliated with Sen. Hillary Clinton's camp.

It seems mostly everyone has rolled over the actual exchange between Kerr and the candidates because, you know, the president of the United States doesn't have to answer to anyone who differs from him ideologically.
