Judge Walker’s Critics — Divorced From Reason

Mad Kane hits the nail so squarely on the head with this one that I present it in toto.

The gay-bashers are at it again, freaking out at Judge Vaughn Walker’s pro-gay marriage Proposition 8 decision in Perry v. Schwarzenegger. The attacks claim, among other things, that:

The ruling is a travesty of justice because Walker himself is reportedly gay - and because he’s gay, he should’ve removed himself from the case!

Boy, am I glad I never parlayed my law degree into a judgeship. Because, based on this “reasoning,” I would have been duty-bound to recuse myself from any case involving women, Jews, short people, straights, New Yorkers, satirists, versifiers, lawyers, oboe players, agnostics, and people older than … uh … never mind.

That brings me to my latest limerick:

Judge Walker’s Critics — Divorced From Reason
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Judge Walker’s well-reasoned decision
Has been met with gay-bashing derision:
He’s “reportedly gay,”
So was biased their way
.
Oh, just straight guys have unbiased vision?

Well yeah, like, you know, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas et al like Turdblossom, Miss Becky, and Limpbaugh, although I wonder sometimes just how straight they are.

Note to Mad: Good one, hon. Check yer rose bushes...(wink)
