Yeah. She’s funny, honest, self-effacing, candid, insightful, persuasive and correct. What she did was really important. I looked for her facebook fan page, so I could LIKE her. I didn’t find one. But I’m sure somebody fixed that in some way yesterday. I was going to look her up so I could email her. I contacted Justice Sonia Sotomayor yesterday on facebook because I saw of video of her on Sesame Street. It was as cool as this video, but not quite as important.
This woman has a big heart, and, at least in this demonstration, big integrity. I posted her video myself, with the heading “Real Family Values.”
The imagination and courage to re-consider long-held assumptions to forge new convictions? Rare in government and rare in the world, period. So rare as to seem heroic.
Okay, when you have finished dabbing that little tear in the corner of your eye, read IN WALKED QUINN, on this site. Every Saturday.
This is a very moving piece of video but she says her daughter is gay so that kind of mitigates her open-mindedness a bit. Dick Cheney’s daughter is gay and he certainly doesn’t get glowing compliments about his positions.
What I would like to see is this same speech from someone who does not have a gay son/daughter/relative whom they know personally is a wonderful person. It can’t be me; I have a gay niece.
Hmmm. And if she were opposed to gay marriage, George, and her daughter was straight, would an equally impassioned speech be perceived as mitigated by her daughter’s straightness?
If you’re looking for someone who does not have a gay close relative (or even gay relative at all), well then I can make that speech, although I won’t move to Walla Walla.

Yeah, first time I’ve considered the possibility of asking a Republican for a date in a long time.

Yep. I heard that as well.
Walla Walla, huh?
