Bill Bennett's Boorish Bullshit

The New Republic's Andrew Sullivan lovingly deconstructs William Bennett's recent inane op-ed from the LA Times, in which he declares, "What Nature Joins Let No Gays Put Asunder." Ugh, even Bennett's title doesn't make sense. Sociology clearly has much more to do with marriage than nature.

Basically, Bennett's piece is another conservative anti-gay diatribe under the guise of a defense of marriage. In Sullivan's piece he dissects the stupidity paragraph by paragraph.

Why's a big bear of a man like Bennett so afraid of how two consenting adults decide they want to set up their household?

Why are such intellectual simpletons in positions of power in this country?
