disneydream06Sarah Palin's Pick for Attorney General of Alaska...
I pray to God that people will remember this when she decides to run for President in 2012.
Meet Wayne Anthony Ross (ha ha "WAR"), Sarah Palin's pick to be Alaska's attorney general. We heard a while back that Ross was a big-time gay hater and all-around nut, but we weren't surprised or interested. But then today some of Sarah Palin's favorite lawyer's quotes came out and, ZOMFG, this man is brilliant.
On gay people:
Representative Lindsey Holmes asked Ross how he would view cases involving homosexuality.
Ross responded, “Let me give you an analogy. I hate lima beans. I’ve never liked lima beans. But if I was hired to represent the United Vegetable Growers would you ask me if I liked lima beans? No. If I disliked lima beans? No. Because my job is to represent the United Vegetable Growers.”
Analogies are so much fun. Especially when, you know, people whose protection is your responsibility are compared to mushy legumes that you hate. Clever. We bet no one caught that.
Also, Ross doesn't see what the big deal is about rape, and made his views known during a recent meeting, "joking":
“If a guy can’t rape his wife…who’s he gonna rape?” and “There wouldn’t be an issue with domestic violence if women would learn to keep their mouths shut.”
Uhhh, thanks for introducing someone possibly even more horrendous to American politics than you, Sarah Palin! Well played.
Ross' confirmation hearing is Thursday, and we highly recommend you call the state legislature (it's almost certain that they have phones in Alaska), and voice your concerns about Palin's pick. Tell them that gay lima bean rape victims are no laughing matter.
