Fred Thompson’s “Cure”

August 20, 2007

20070820_thompson_320x240.jpg After all that talk at the recent LOGO Presidential Forum about how a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage is all but entirely dead, leave it to old Freddy Thompson to bring it back into the limelight. You remember Fred. He’s the guy from “Law and Order” who wants to be President? Kinda looks like he’s a little backed up most of the time? That guy.

A story from our friends at the Advocate today ran with news that over weekend, Thompson told CNN that a constitutional amendment would “cure” the issue – taking it out of the hands of the States to decide. Which, let’s be clear: Yes, yes it would. But Thompson didn’t stop there.

When asked by CNN’s John King, would he actively, as President, push an amendment banning gay marriage, Thompson answered:

“Yes, yes, I think that with regard to gay marriage you have a full faith and credit issue. I don't think one state ought to be able to pass a law requiring gay marriage or allowing gay marriage and have another state be required to follow along under full faith and credit. There's some exceptions and exemptions for that. Hasn't happened yet, but I think a federal court very well likely will go in that direction, and a constitutional amendment would cure that.”

Frankly, we think he’s faking it, trying to shake off that “hippie-actor-California-liberal” label that he’s been stuck with from all his years in the movies. Seems he's going to come out swinging with the "cure" word.

Thanks for speaking up, Fred. We loved you in Curly Sue.
