Moral Relativism Alert

Watching the debates, I wasn't able to pin down the moment that the Republican spinners were going to seize on to distract from what actually transpired last night. As of this morning, looks like it's going to be Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter. Yes, in answering a question about whether homosexuality is innate, Kerry picked up that pink football and did the Icky Shuffle. Was this stupid, crass and unnecessary? Si.

However, is this the worst thing that was said? It's true for one, and shouldn't even be an issue if not for Republicans pounding this "gay marriage" wedge. At least Kerry squared up to the question, rather than dodging it with some nonsense about abortion or education (or should I say "culture of life").

I just don't think handwringing is going to help anything.
