Quick, true and quite humorous.

In an interview with Tim Russert, Al Franken was discussing the topic of gay marriage. It went like this:

FRANKEN: I was talking to Newt Gingrich the other day, and I said to him, 'Newt, don't you want for a gay couple what you had with your first wife?

Don't you want what comes with that--that bond of fidelity that you had with your second wife? Don't you want...'

RUSSERT: When did this conversation take place?

FRANKEN: In Washington.

RUSSERT: Is that the truth or is that a lie?

FRANKEN: It's a lie. 'Don't you want what comes with that--that--that pledge of a life--that life-long bond that you may or may not have with your third wife?'

The threat to marriage isn't gay couples getting married. The threat to marriage is divorce and infidelity. That's the threat to marriage.
