Hate mongering was campaign gimmick

In what will surely prove a boon to truthful bloggers everywhere, George Bush, Jr.'s recent interview with the Washington Post continues to amaze. Certainly, as Plummer points out below, the interview reconfirms that Bush is a moron. No two ways about that. But at the end of the interview he reveals that he has no intention of passing any same-sex marriage laws, despite campaigning heavily in favor of a constitutional ammendment banning the practice.
