being in response to the question about Supreme Court Judges and the
Defense of Marriage act when Bush was stuck on the idea of a "litmus
test" because it was the only way he could think of to appear not to
be a jerk. That was my interpretation anyway. Kerry finished his
comments with much more grace and tact (saying ultimately that he
didn't like the idea of constitutional amendments) and Bush
immediately responded with "so you favor a litmus test" as a means of
saving face and attempting to discredit his opponent. Which is
probably how I would have handled it if I'd been in Bush's shoes --
though I would never be in his shoes because I'm not bigoted about
sexual preference.
