Fred Thompson’s Latest Stupid Answer
Answering questions from New Hampshire voters Monday, grumpy bulldog and mediocre actor Fred Thompson called the fight for marriage equality across statelines a “judge-made controversy.”
Whatever. This is where it gets good:
Edward Paul, an employee of the Delta Dental Plans Association, asked the question Monday, but had trouble being understood.
“I’m proud to say that in January 2008 New Hampshire has passed a law facilitating civil unions here. … What is your belief for federal civil unions to be passed?” Paul asked.
“Soviet Union?” Thompson responded.
“No, civil unions,” Paul said.
“Oh. No, I would not be in support of that,” Thompson said.
Paul said he wasn’t surprised, or impressed.
“Soviet Union”? Gee, maybe that’s why Fred’s against it — he thinks same-sex marriage is a Communist plot!
